I don"t know if anyone has heard of a small town in Texas called Anson but if you ever have a chance to go I would suggest it. I was visiting my sister at college and her friend and both of us decided to go check out what are called the "Anson Lights". I don"t remember where exactly it was but I do remember it was on a small dirt road next to a graveyard in the middle of no where. We went about 2:00 in the morning, it has to be dark out. We parked our car along the graveyard and flashed our headlights a couple of times. Sure enough, off in the distance a small light appeared and started moving back and forth. At first we thought it was just another car coming down the road to do the same thing we were doing but we soon realized it wasn"t a car at all. The light got closer and closer until all of a sudden it disappeared. We tried flashing our lights again and the light came back and then faded off again. By this time we were all pretty freaked out and so we left. We had to go by the place where the light appeared but we didn"t see anything. If I remember right the story goes that a woman lost her son and she went out looking for him by lantern-light and because she never found him her ghost still haunts the area looking for her lost child. I don"t know about the story that goes along with what happened, all I know is what I saw that night.
