Strange flickering lights appear where faces should be. The story is framed by reflections on faith, childhood memories, and how media and curiosity led to revisiting the strange Virginia night.

Empty Turnout With Clear Visibility

  • The turnout Seth chose had a grass median and was empty of other people when he arrived. He could see clearly through the trees on that cloudless night, which made the later phenomena stand out starkly.
