Show Notes
Grab your favorite dark roast, dim the lights, and step onto the forgotten railroad tracks of deep South Arkansas. This week on Caffeinated Mysteries, we’re diving into one of the Natural State’s most famous, eerie, and persistent unsolved legends: The Gurdon Light. Deep in the woods of Clark County, a glowing orb of white, blue, and sometimes fiery orange light has been seen bobbing above the old, abandoned railway line since the early 1930s. It sways through the trees, defies the laws of optics, and vanishes the second you get too close. But what—or who—is driving this ghostly lantern?
