Bragg Road, also known as “Ghost Road” or the “Ghost Road of Saratoga,” is a dirt road in the Big Thicket of Southeast Texas where a mysterious light, the “Saratoga Lights” or “Light of Saratoga,” has been reported. The light is described as a ghostly orb or light that appears and disappears at random on the road during the night.

Some believe the light is a manifestation of spirits, possibly a lost railroad employee’s lantern.

A listener writes “I’ve been a member of SC, since 2021 when I encountered ” The Big Thicket Saga” and heard you mention Bragg Road ( first time that I heard a non native Texan that was aware of this place). I know the SC community gets irked with segments that are not Squatch related,  but if you ever want to hear some real stories or need to fill a gap in programming, feel free to reach out.

I grew up in that area in a small community called Wildwood. I went to Bragg Road quite often between 1991 – 1993, and saw the lights many times( there is more than one- I once saw three orbs at the same time).

These experiences have prompted me to collect weird stories from all over the US. I would love to share some with the audience, if you think anyone would be interested.

Getting back to Bragg Road, I have my own sightings, plus a couple of interesting stories from a Hardin County Sherriff, plus a doozie from a trusted friend who saw a little person out there. That story is corroborated by two other people who saw one cross the road in front of them. All this happened near Saratoga, Texas, where Bragg Road is located…

Finally, I thought you would enjoy these tree structures that I found far off- trail in one of the units of the Big Thicket National Preserve. There is a story with this too, but I’m running long…The large snapped tree was green, when it was snapped, and extremely solid. It was snapped about ten feet up, and I don’t think anything less than a couple of three hundred pound men could have done it..
