Spectacular Light Display Distributed Through E-mail
An e-mail video is circulating on the Internet featuring a most elaborate display of Christmas holiday lights.
The house, featured in all its glory, stars in a video that's about three minutes long.
According to the Web site snopes.com, the display is the work of Carson Williams of Mason, Ohio. The musical accompaniment is broadcast over a low-powered radio station so that it is only audible to visitors tuned in to the correct frequency so it doesn't disturb his neighbors.

Spectacular Light Display Distributed Through E-mail
An e-mail video is circulating on the Internet featuring a most elaborate display of Christmas holiday lights.
The house, featured in all its glory, stars in a video that's about three minutes long.
According to the Web site snopes.com, the display is the work of Carson Williams of Mason, Ohio. The musical accompaniment is broadcast over a low-powered radio station so that it is only audible to visitors tuned in to the correct frequency so it doesn't disturb his neighbors.
The video shows a modest middle-class house that's decked out in lights, which are timed to lively, snappy music.
The lights dance and pulsate, and a star beams down to illuminate a Christmas tree.
The lights on the house are on a timer that is set to go off once every hour and are synchronized to the music "Wizards in Winter" by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, according to the e-mail.
Williams told WDIV-TV in Detroit that the display is from 2004 and that he's working on another one for this year.
Last year, a Colorado man claimed his Christmas lights could be controlled by Internet visitors from all over the world -- but it turned out to be a hoax.

A spectacular holiday light display in Ohio has already gone dark.
Carson Williams always said that if his house's display caused problems, he'd shut it down. On Tuesday, he did just that.
Williams said because of traffic concerns, he has unplugged the 25,000 lights and has turned off the music on a low-power FM station to which the lights were synchronized.
Mason police said that people coming to see the display were causing traffic problems, reported WLWT-TV in Cincinnati.
On Tuesday, two cars collided in a minor accident as cars clogged local roads trying to get to the display, and authorities couldn't get through the traffic to respond.
Williams said the safety of his neighbors has been compromised, so the light show has been shut down indefinitely.
This was the third year for Williams' display, which has been featured at several sites on the Internet and on the "Today" show.
There is no word if Williams intends to do it again next year.
