The Hornet Spook Light

With sightings dating back as far as 1866,

The Hornet Spook Light, also known as "The devil's promenade", in Northeast Oklahoma. 

Normally said to be an orange ball of light, stretch of gravel road, legend says that it was the first seen by Native Americans who walked the Trail of Tears.

The light it simply appears in the sky, wanders, bobbing and weaving at great speed, and then is gone.

Scientists say that it may be reflected headlights of nearby drivers. However, this doesn't explain the sightings before the invention of the automobile.

The desappearance of Benjamin Bathurst

Benjamin Bathurst was a 19th century diplomat for Britain. In 1809, after conducting a diplomatic mission to Austria, he headed home, forced to take a more perilous route to aboid the French. Armed to the teeth, he decided to travel through Germany, under the assumed name of Koch.

On November 25th, Bathurst and his german aide, Herr Krause, stopped at the small town of Perleberg, resting a little before continuing their journey. When the time had come to leave the inn at which they had stopped, Bathurst walked out the door, with Krause following afterward, only seconds behind. However, when Krause got outside,  Bathurst was gone, never to be seen again. 

He was never found. The theories about his desappearance, is that he was killed in prison.

Other theory states that he was just anather victim of the bandits who made travelling through Europe during the 19th century a risky proposition.
