ANP, rene REN 4 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, October 30, 1990 TV crew claims to have solved mystery The CTV current affairs program Wb carried a segment in its Sunday night show which threw cold water on the legend of the Scugog Island ghost light. But two residents of the Is- land who were interviewed for the show were not impressed with what they saw when the segment aired on October 28. "I was pretty disappointed (with the program) it looked like a set-up job right from the start," Allene Kane told the Star on Monday morning. Mrs. Kane and her hus- band Jack live near the infa- mous "ghost road" on Scugog 1s- land. "We kept telling them (the W5 reporting crew) during the' filming of the segment that the light they were seeing was far too bright and was appearing far too often," said Mrs. Kane. Asit turned out, Wb had ar- ranged to have a car parked nine KM away on a hill on the West Quarter Line, flashing its headlamps on cue. 'end of the Gh ningham gleefully revealed this to Scugog Mayor Howard Hall at the Ghost Road. The segment ended with Mr. Cunningham saying the mystery of the Island's ghost light was solved once and for all. But Mrs. Kane told the Star "not so." The light that is usually seen is dimmer and has a yel- lowish hue to it, not the bright, ost Road Ii intense light that was seen on the Wb program. And besides, she told the Star, she has seen the light dur- ing a snowstorm and there is no way headlights from a car can be seen from nine KM during a snowstorm. "There is some kind of an aura about the light, an after- glow. And the light seems to move towards you," she said. And she said that some- times a red light can be seen. She's not convinced that W5 solved the mystery of the light at all. The ghost road runs north/ south. The light appears to come from the south. Legend has it that the light is the headlamp of a motorcycle on which a young man was sup- sedly riding many years ago. e was killed when he crashed the motorcycle into a barb wire fence. The legend of the light has been part of Scugog Island lore ever since.
