Summary/Description: A scan of old newspapers sometimes brings up reports of lights from long ago. Maybe most could be explained but now and again a more puzzling story appears. Winter 1909 saw talk of mystery lights even a ghost from Upper Warwick St (West Hobart) . The ghost appeared in the form of a figure in a big coat with a luminous body beneath the coat. Mystery lights were reported from Tasmania‘s North West Coast. Similar lights to those seen in New Zealand were also reported near Hobart. Explanations forthcoming were a conjunction of the planets Venus and Jupiter, or the witnesses leaving the local hotel at closing time. A check of astronomical data confirms that such a conjunction took place in 1909.
