In Grosse Tete, between the Bank of Maringouin (on Highway 77) and Midway Grocery, on a lane (now called Frontage 3000 Road) ironically nicknamed "Dump Road," an unexplained light flickers in the bean fields. Teens frequented the area, including Mary Sue Romig, now 54, who has seen its brilliance many times. "I've seen it," Romig said. "It starts out small and it grows." Even though a visiting LSU professor insisted the light was caused by swamp gases, releases of methane and other gases by rotting vegetation, Romig has her own theory of the light's origin, courtesy of her mother. Years ago, when the road contained railroad tracks for the Texas and Pacific lines, a man routinely visited the area to manually switch the tracks.
