mrsrunningbear,
We touched on it in this thread before, but the more I think of it, the more I like the new advertising theme for the Running Bear Resort, a little variation on a well known motel chain's legendary advert Running Bear Resort, the home of the Paulding Light — "We'll turn the light on for ya". (With just a touch of a "Yooper accent!)
Thanks frnash, at least someone cares about the business in Paulding! Thats got a nice ring to it, or maybe I should say a brightness to it LOL

So the 15 collage kids are here, and on NMU's dime mind you, viewing the Light for a project? So do you think should ask them how it went in the morning ?

It doesnt really matter what we say because people believe what they want to believe. Until they go there and personally do the tests, it is difficult to sway them, they will believe whatever they want. Business will not change because the mind is way to curious, after all, the lights have ben seens for 1000's of years, remember!!!!!!

not true FRNASH about 1966 being first report...first report and brakeman killed story was from the COPPER RANGE RAILROAD the went from CALUMET to MCKEEVER MICHIGAN.....look at map of MACKEEVER and you will see 45 is that same tracks
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_Range_Railroad
the trains run was change to the TORCH LAKE RUN because of the paulding lights....about 1870's or so is the first report of them...there were earlier rail lines for logging that have same reports also
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calumet_and_Hecla_Industrial_District
this guy and or his workers first reported it and one of his workers is probably where the brakemans story came from....1966 report is a product of the CHINESE TELEPHONE EFFECT.....same like ROSWELL...1st report they say.....not...was many before that...and.....they dont even admit roswell as first....paulding lights same way....seen by indians.....then explorers....then settlers...then loggers....then trainmen....and now YOU ALL
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calumet_and_Hecla_Industrial_District
car lights.....still a good one.....earth flat......still a good one.....DOH

Copper Range Railroad
See also the late Kevin Musser's Copper Range Railroad web site, a wealth of local history may be found there!
In particular, check out the Copper Range Railroad History page, and note that the CRR did not extend south of Mass City, certainly not to Paulding!
However, the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad (C&NW) did have a line from Choate, MI past Paulding(!) to Watersmeet, MI and Land O Lakes, WI from ca. 1887 until the section from Choate to Watersmeet was removed in 1941, according to RRHX — Railroad History of Michigan. There was even a station at Sleepy Hollow!

true dat.....thats how SLEEPY HOLLOW got its name as well....the headless horseman carried a flame in his hand and a sword in the other so the story goes....what better name for a town that has strange lights every night....especially in 1830.....other wise if the car light thing was true then they would of named the town ....CHRISTINE.....AHAHHAHAHHAHAaaaaaaaaaa
