Newquay's Blinding Light Haunting
Old Headland area, Newquay
Old Headland in Newquay is home to a rather unnerving spectacle that has fishermen and locals on edge. A floating light is said to appear along the path in mid December, reoccurring year after year. It moves of its own accord before vanishing near the old lifeguard station and boatyard. The sudden appearance of this mysterious light can be quite startling, especially for those out for a walk or a spot of fishing. While it may seem like a harmless prank, the light has been causing quite a stir in the local community.
