The crossing at Eagle Avenue
New York · United States · Road
A blue and white light shaped like an old man crosses the tracks slowly, turns back to look, and goes out.
Locals around Eagle Avenue in West Hempstead, New York have reported him repeatedly, and most sightings are at the station.
He appears as a floating blue and white light in the shape of an old man, and he walks slowly across the tracks. When he reaches the other side he turns back, looks, and dissipates.
Others have seen the same old man walking in front of their houses, and in every case witnesses describe him the same way.
The turning back is the detail that carries this account. He is not simply crossing. He completes the crossing, looks at whoever is watching, and only then goes.
Long Island Rail Road crossings have killed a great many people over a century and a half, and West Hempstead's line runs directly through residential streets.
The crossing is public and active.
