NBC’s Unsolved Mysteries television show about the Gurdon Light aired. The staff of the show had traveled to Gurdon (Clark County) a few weeks before to document the phenomenon of the Gurdon Light. Many theories exist to explain this light, which appears along a stretch of railroad tracks outside of town, including a theory that connects the light to the 1931 murder of railroad worker William McClain.
