This legend is heard throughout Mexico and Argentina although other countries have there versions of it but this is the most common version. It is said sometimes in remote places or valleys, really anywhere, that a light can be seen shining brightly and moving around.

Some say that if it is a white light then you have nothing to fear but if its a red light then you should stay away.
