The Maco Lights

Lights of the fog

And this is the end of my comic about the Maco Lights! Thank you so much for reading!

The urban legend itself is super old. I think it started in like the 1860's (wherein people think it goes back to a guy named "Charles Baldwin" who died in a train conductor accident, although the name has changed to "Joe Baldwin" later on), and the urban legend and sightings stretched all the way until like the 1970's when the Maco train tracks were removed. Fearless teens and urban explorers would go out into the woods looking for the lights of the beheaded Joe Baldwin. People agreed they were seeing something rising from the fog. Was it Joe Baldwin? Was it just a phenomena of the marsh gas?

Perhaps find out yourself if you ever find yourself in tiny town of Maco, North Carolina.

I like this urban legend better than the guy-who-kills-people variety. So pretty too.

Are those ghostly lights just refractions off the marsh fog, or is there an entity that has haunted the workers of the Maco Train Station for over 150 years?

This retelling of the urban legend is a short story for the Global Comics Awards
