In Denmark, this concept is atributed to a creature named "Lygtemanden", "the lanternman". He is a little man who runs around to either get good people to treasure, or wicked people to their deaths in the forest.

There’s also the concept of a Lantern Man in England, too. It was seemingly an explanation for the combustible marsh gas that acts as the basis for so many will-o’-the-wisp myths. They say he specifically lives in The Fens, and that he rushes to drown anybody that he catches whistling in the reed beds. He supposedly *hates* whistling and will chase down anybody that he finds doing so. There are implications that there are multiple violent, evil Lantern Man spirits out in The Fens. There’s no treasure if you follow the the British Lantern Man. Haha.

From a scientific perspective, I believe that Will o Wisps are probably a combination of fireflies and bog gasses. Perhaps the impending sense of doom is caused by the various chemicals you’re inhaling coupled with a spooky environment. I live near a marsh and I can’t recall ever having seen Wisps, but it’s very flat and easy to navigate, so maybe the Wisps decided it wasn’t worth their time XD

Its mostly bog gasses and yes the fumes make you feel dread. Though i like to think that maybe, just maybe, something out there could be using them to hide. After all, who would go looking for the sinister in the known? The unexplainable in the explained?

I come from wetland area! Between these and fireflies when the moon isn't out it can be pretty easy to get turned around in dark woods and end up falling into creeks and ravines so it makes sense to blame it on something.

In Germany they are called "Irrlicht", which you can translate as "wandering around lights" or "getting lost lights" because they lead you to wander around until you lose any sense of direction. I think the name is rather cute. ;-P

Yeah, I've seen phantom lights a few times. There are a few places rather prone to such things out here in the Appalachian Mountains... Funny thing about the mountain variety, though, is that you're almost never really prepared to go chasing off after them... SO mostly, in the mountains, I just strain my eyes... once even had binoculars, and tried with them. Couldn't get much better detail that way, other than to pretty well pinpoint where the lights were one after another... which is odd, maybe, but not some otherworldly level of weird. In the swamp I did go after the lights a couple times, BUT it was Louisiana, and I had a pirogue (a really small REALLY lightweight boat) so I just about couldn't get stranded out there... AND I was equipped enough to handle myself for a couple days if necessary (which it wasn't... haha)... The d*mn lights just faded or winked out before I could quite get close enough to make heads or tails out of them... SPEAKING of which... Ever notice how a LOT of these stories relate to swamps and bogs and moores??? That's at least in part, because in those kinds of places, there's a proclivity for slow moving water... and by nature, there are floating plants. You'd think that wasn't a big deal, BUT how often have you walked around and memorized your way by some tree or a certain bush to recognize the path, or some certain corner of a building or fence. It's not the only thing, of course (usually) BUT it still accounts as part of your navigation... SO in the swamps, we have big mats of swamp-grass that float like islands. Some are big enough and hefty enough, even though they're only grass and reeds intertwined and root-bound, you CAN walk on them. SO whenever you get deep in the wild parts of the swamp, these mats of swamp grass can move in behind you, pulled and pushed by wind or water currents... paths you THOUGHT you knew coming in... DISAPPEAR before you get turned around to try to get back out. It's not terribly dangerous if you know that wherever a floating mat closes one waterway, it opens another... so you just keep paddling, and don't be out there in a boat you can't carry on your own... not if you go alone (which is its own properly hazardous situation in the swamps)... SO think about it... You go out in the swamp... in the dark... a little foggy here and there (as is pretty much normal)... AND then you go chasing after fairie lights or will o' wisps or whatever... You get hopelessly off in the wild spaces and then it flickers out... and when you turn around to go back, you only get so far, and that waterway you KNOW was just there not 10 minutes ago, IS GONE... and suddenly the panic starts to raise up in you because somehow you just don't recognize ANYTHING... Yeah... A LOT of people still go missing in swamps every year... and many are just never seen again. It doesn't even take any ill will or supernatural goings on for it to happen... just a little misnavigation... a dash of panic... and the dark settles in on them... pfft... Suddenly they can't think their way out of a wet paper sac... Anyways... I know you can jam a 8 or 10 foot pipe down in the Louisiana bayous, and light the gas that comes bubbling out the end for a fishing lamp that'll last several hours if you catch the right spot. In the area, they call it a Cajun Nightlight. ;o)

In Argentina we have "La luz mala" or "The bad light" in English. Is something similar, but not the same. Is usually said that those lights are either the souls of the dead or the devil himself, they can be either red or white. They are found in rural areas and are known to chase people who get too close to them.

As a kid I used to have nightmares about gnomes. And yes I mean those gnomes that have the pointy hats and are seen in gardens. For some reason I felt like they abducted children. I used to have a reacurrent nightmare that nomes stole my younger siblings And kept them underground. And no one would believe me that gnomes took my little brother and sister. So I had to go get them back myself. Saying this I recognize that it does sound like the plot to labyrinth. My Nightmare was nothing like that movie and I'm not talking about goblins. I don't even think I'd seen the movie yet back when I 1st had that nightmare. I always wondered why gnomes, It's so strange they're so cute. The 1st time I got high from Smoking pot back when I was Eighteen I remember feeling paranoid and telling my boyfriend that the Deer were judging us.😂 We were out in a field and there were several deer out there watching us. And the gnomes are out to get us. 😂😂 Why am I so ridiculous.

The lantern in the British Isles was typically a hollowed-out turnip. We didn't get pumpkins until they were imported from the Americas. It's also Will o' the Wisp, as television viewers of the 1980's can affirm.

I listen to your stories on abitlate every night when I go to sleep. Your voice is so nice to hear. In Japan, we have blue lights that appear near rivers. They are the reason that during Obon, which is a week long festival to welcome back deceased family, we float lanterns down rivers. The ancestors have to navigate the dark when they have to return to heaven, and so we provide light for them to find their way. In Kyoto and a few other places especially, they set up burning symbols on the side of mountains for the traveling ancestors. The scientific reason for the blue lights is that when a body starts to decompose it releases gas that light up blue, especially near water. I have not seen the phenomenon myself, but I have heard stories from friends who have. I have heard that it is not scary at all, but just a blue flame calmly floating along. I have not heard about seeing the blue lights as being a bad omen. You shouldn't be near rivers anyways for fear of being grabbed by a kappa more than anything else. Nice topic!

I've never seen a Will o the Wisp, my encounters have been rather more local specific, in the form of something called a shuck. For many, the shuck is a scary figure, but there have been a scant few tales of benevolent shucks, and I believe it's benevolent shucks I've encountered. I see them when I am feeling at my lowest, and go for night time walks to clear my head. It's a little shadowy companion who shadows me across the fens, and I believe keeps me from harm - I think it likely the shuck would keep me safe from a Will o the Wisp.

In Czech we call them "Bludičky" that looks like blue light...And they are mostly seen in bogs, cementaries And other spooky places.... From slavic forclore they can be souls of people that died brutally... newborn unbaptisted children...or little gnomes or soul of the witch...And they are most seen on holidays like 'Dušičky' (day we celebrate our dead loved ones) And around Christmas... Its more complicated but I tried my best to explain it 😅 (And sorry for my english )

In Choctaw culture, the Hashok Okwa Hui'ga or ''Grass Water Drop'' were creatures similar to will-o'-the-wisps. They would lead anyone that followed them off the trail. No one knows what happened to those people afterward, but it is certain they died.

In the Philippines, there's a creature called "Santelmo" that appears in fields, forests, and bogs. Though some accounts even claim that it also appear in rainy nights in slightly rural areas. It's just a faint faint but sometimes it changes to blue. It's said to cause paralysis to those that encounters it. But most of what I hear of it was it bewitches victims into having a muddled sense of direction. Chasing the victims to endless loop without progressing to safety.

Well... Carl Jung have a scientific explanation for this phenomena, the ''Collective unconscious'', which says that certain archetypes as The Great Mother, the Wise Old Man, the Shadow, the Tower, belong to the basic stock of the unconscious psyche and cannot be explained as personal acquisitions. It's like the instinct that makes, for exemple, a dog circle aroud before laying down even if no one taught it to do it. But... if you want a more parapsychological explanation I suggest the Morphogenetic field theory from the Zero Escape games, I really enjoy that one, it seems like a very elegant explanation. 🤓

On the topic of a black dog. There was a strange encounter once a few years back while walking the path home. Right when I reached the turn outside our house after walking my siblings to school, something drew my attention to a clumping of bramble. Of which, partially hidden behind it, a large wolflike dog was standing almost at my height. Its fur blending with the morning shadows far too well for comfort. It didnt move, but as I continued towards the house it seemed to vanish from my sight. No-one believed that It was anything more than an average dog because there weren't any reports, and all of our neighbors had multiple dogs that would make a lot of noise if they smelled anything strange or new. But you mentioning black dogs reminded me of its piercing gaze. It is probably the most vivid I can recall outside of fiction. Though I've always been under the guardian impressing of emcountering black dogs, I'm not too sure with how things have been since then. Probably just the recent mood getting to me.

In Korea, they're called "dokkaebi (도깨비)" or "goblin" lights. They're often described as a little flame that is blue & floats around. They're not necessarily a sign of doom if you follow them as goblins don't necessarily ALWAYS lead people to bad things but in Korean folklore goblins like to play games with humans so it's recommended to avoid them or tread carefully if seen. P.S... just started down a rabbit hole of your fairytales and loving all of it!

In South Africa we have a lot of stories surrounding these lights: 1) it is the disembodied eye of a sangoma ("medicine man") watching you. Best thing to do is to urinate in its direction then run 2) It's a spot where the devil buried some of his treasure. If you want to dig it up, fine. But leave it in a bag mixed with cemetery soil until a firstborn in the family is baptized before spending it 3) this one is specific to the West Coast: it's a light showing the spirits of drowned sailors the way back to land, and if you see one ... well... you are in for a terminal case of seasickness.

The bog gas is ignited by static, and as you move towards one, you cause another one to appear further away.

Neat, i always thought will o wisps were “willow whisps”. souls of the dead who coincidentally died or were buried under or near weeping willow trees and would guide people who were lost to the nearest road or trail, and those who are travelling with evil or dangerous intentions would be intranced and lured to die in a similar way.

Did Halloween come early? I love your videos.

Always good to remember that these legends and stories were invented for a reason. They come from real experiences and shouldn't be disregarded out of hand. Following what might be a flaming gas pocket is a bad idea. Straying from the road in the dark is a bad idea. Its just like the Kelpie. A creature that resembles a horse. It will pretend to drown in water/muddy areas only to drag a human to their death. This is to discourage people from saving their horses from such situations, because its likely they'll get dragged down alongside the horse. Akin to how a drowning person could latch onto a potential rescuer and drown both of them

It's not the exact same, but there's a rare type of lightning called "ball lightning" that looks like a will o' wisp and can range from various sizes, they're also rather dangerous as they can explode at any moment.

I read a story about a child named Aether. He has a power which he can glow and fly. Sometimes he appears to normal people and they would be helped(Aether is a magical zombie who lives with malignant entities in an orphanage) out the orphanage. Once, a person hurt one of the entities(who Aether considered family), and was lead to his death by every other entity. Since then, the legend about the orphanage changed, how you should not hurt any entity, even if they try to kill you, because or else, the light will personally come at you… and you would be killed in a worse way. The end.

As much as my curiosity would love to know, I know there is such a thing as vain knowledge, so survival mode kicks in and I would rather stay ignorant than dead.

The way I see it, if you see the lights it's best to lay down where you are and not move for the rest of the night. Whether you are being led to or away from dangerous areas, you aren't in danger in your current position. You know that your current position is NEAR dangerous areas, but you also know that you haven't entered them yet. The only place you can be SURE is safe is the area you already occupy. So hedge your bets and wait till morning to see which way you actually should go.

Also It didn't stay in my peripheral and disappear It moved from my peripheral to my focus And then disappeared. How to explain. Small ball of light that I consider Sully Had a light glow Saw in the daytime. And it was still when I noticed it and then disappeared as I tried to focus on it. Felt nothing menacing just pure curiosity. The red light at my grandparent's house. seen in the dark. And it was its movement that I noticed. I suddenly saw this red light in one spot I saw it quickly move to a painting and then the painting fell down. Another time I saw strange lights was when I was 9 or 10. Looking out my window at the stars. What I saw thought was a UFO. I saw a ring of faint cloudy Light orbs, Move around the night sky and then disappear. To explain the shape of the ring of lights Stayed constant as it moved around that section of the sky. This was back in the 1990s .

It's kind of sad when you don’t find people talking about the legends of your home. But it is rather comprehensive. Especially when you are watching in a second language and most of their legends comes from across the pounds. I also don’t think people would find the Feu Follet when trying to find certain Will o Wisp. So I will share the legends of the Feu follet of my home. Then I won't be sad. It's like being sad you didn’t get to eat garlic bread with an amazing plate of spaghetti. I will just do mines. I did say my home a lot like if it was from a mystical place filled with history and culture. But it's just Quebec from Canada. So if you are from the place and you know more about Feu Follet. Let me know. Feu Follet are like will o wisp little lights you can find near graves as supposes to marshes. Quebec as been deep in Christianity for a while. You can actually see this with our WereWolves and Feu Follet. If for 7 years you didn’t do your easter. You would be turn into a werewolf. You were still able to be freed though. If you bleed without dying you would turn back into a human. Most commonly if you get cut on the forehead like the cross thing churches do. But (and it's where feu follet comes in) you still don’t fo your easter for 7 more years. You will be turn into a small fire spirit. Living the rest of eternity to play devilish prank on others. The only way out (which seems to show a certain case of will) is for someone to stab a knife into a wooden pike. Which will make the Feu follet jump into the blade and explode into blood. Can understand what it would be left out either way though. I didn’t see other types act that way. Frankly sometime I imagine White Quebec Folklore to be "I am not like the others."

Lesson for the Day: Always pay your gnome guides! 🤣🤣

Where can I hear the story?

What if you’re in a haunted hotel and you see unnatural blue lights being admitted from the second floor and being casted on a stair case. You want to see the source out of curiosity but your friend prompts you not to saying that it’s not a good idea. Do I apply the same principle to not follow the lights? What’s the worse thing that can happen if I do?

not lights but in a clear sunny day I was driving and saw this 7 foot smoke cloud no source or anything just a 7 foot cloud walking (roll)ing along the road towards me. the hairs on my neck and my mind started panicking so j did a u turn an went back home.

Pennywise is surley inspired by this supernatural light... like the skademagtch and nelusa falaya childres, socuyuant, liderc, ect...

When I saw the title, my first dumbass thought was those strings of fairy lights for decorating.
