This image, known as the ‘Gurdon Man’, was captured in January of 2005 by a group of ghost hunters who were investigating some railroad tracks in Gurdon, Arkansas. One of the investigators, Alan L. Lowe, says he and the others were searching for something known as the ‘Gurdon Light’.

After crossing through a cemetery near the railroad tracks, Alan says one of his psychics told him they were being followed. Alan then turned and snapped this picture of what he says looks like a “blue energy shaped like a man crossing the tracks”.

According to legend, the ‘Gurdon Light’ is said to be a light coming from a lantern held by the spirit of a railroad worker who was decapitated by an oncoming train after falling onto the tracks. The man’s head was never found, and his ghost now wanders the tracks, searching for his missing head.

Another version of the legend states that the spirit is of a railroad foreman named William McClain who was killed near the tracks during a confrontation with on of his employees in 1931. 

Personally, I’m not quite sure what to make of this image. One could say the anomaly was some kind of glare or reflection. Another explanation could be that the camera malfunctioned when the picture was taken.

However, it could also be said that the image does indeed show an actual supernatural being, especially since the area is believed by many to be a hot spot for paranormal activity.

I’m interested in hearing your thoughts on this photograph. Do you think it truly shows a being from the other side? Or might there be a more conventional explanation?
