Ghostly light seen in eastern Michigan home nightly
A Michigan family in Adrian reports a pale lighted figure appears about eight oclock each evening in their eastern city home.

An anecdote from a Chicago religious gathering is also cited, where a speaker’s tale of a celestial journey concluded with a commenting by the crowd.
