According to DangerousRoads.org, the Light of Saratoga has been witnessed by "multitudes" of people who have traveled the dirt road.

The mysterious lights appear and disappear at random during the dark of night without explanation. According to local legend, the light on Bragg Road is the ghostly lantern of an unfortunate railroad employee. Decapitated in a wreck, his spirit now walks the road nightly, eternally searching for his head.

The stretch of road dates back to 1901 and was formally the site of a rail road track. The dirt road is about two cars wide today. According to AustinGhosts.com, the lights have been described as orbs that are white in color but can also be yellow or green.
