Lamp posts along the road did not exist.

And it was October, so it was dark by the time they started to make shapes to the shop.

The only light they had was from a little farmhouse they met along the way and the moon, as it was a clear night.

But that was it.

My mother said it took them about 15 minutes to walk to the shop.

It was closing at 7 p.m.

They got there in the nick of time, grabbed the shit they needed to get, and made to go back as it was getting late.

They were low-key spooked because, come on, dark country road at night?

Fuck no, see you later.

Anyway, as they were walking back, they both noticed this huge-ass light up ahead, less than 500 yards from their house.

It seemed to be a field, and my mom said it lit up the entire area.

It was ridiculously bright, and she described it as being like the sun.

It was much too big to be a combine harvester, and it wasn't moving.

It was just like this enormous floodlight that you get at football games that just engulfed the field.

Both her and her sister were confused as heck, as this obviously wasn't there when they had walked over.

My mom, being the curious little fart she was, and still is.

I love a curious little fart.

decided to go and check it out there was a little farmhouse just at the top of the field and a narrow stone pathway covered by tall trees and hedgerow hedgerow leaving up to it my mother said her older sister insisted she just come come home but nope badass 13 year old mama was on a mission her sister my aunt reluctantly followed after her because the situation was beginning to get super creepy

As Mom walked up the little lane, she said the light seemed to be getting brighter and brighter, to the point she was finding it hard to see.

That's when she saw it.
