Spooklights: Where To Find Them
Named Min-Min after a hotel from which the lights were first seen by white settlers, these ghost lights have been seen on Aboriginal land for many years. Seen over a wide area, they seem to "follow" witnesses as they travel in their cars. They have been described as being as bright as headlights, varying in color, sometimes oval in shape and erratic in their movement. Some Aborigines consider them ancestors, gods or demons.
In 1983, Professor Jack Pettigrew, of the University of Queensland in Brisbane claimed to have figured out the source of the light: an inverted mirage of light sources which can be hundreds of kilometres away over the horizon.
