In the Santa Cruz Sentinel, Volume 148, Number 305, 31 October 2004, which you can read here, we have an article quoting Dave Oester, who with his wife Sharon Gill founded an organization called the International Ghost Hunters Society. Referring to Oester, the article states this: "Most ghosts look like a ball of light or a misty vapor, he says, not a floating bedsheet or transparent human form."
Looking elsewhere for the phrase "ball of light" in old newspaper stories, I found an account that we might call "Saved by a Mysterious Orb." It is an account of the prevention of a head-on collision of two trains, averted by a mysterious ball of light. The account in the San Luis Obispo Daily Telegram, Number 163, 4 September 1913 can be read here. It begins like this:
The story is rather long, so I will quote merely the ending, where we read of a mysterious ball of light that seems to be crucial in the prevention of a head-on collision of two trains.
