#19: Will-O-the-Wisps
When it comes to folklore, there are some pretty wild stories out there… From human-like creatures to different mystical occurrences, certain myths and folklore have guided people for generations. And while certain stories can be somewhat exciting, the chances of them actually being based in reality are rather slim.
Throughout history, people in different areas have claimed to see mysterious flickering lights over certain areas at night… And while this sounds beautiful and mystical, this occurrence wasn’t as magical as some people thought. Will-o-the-wisps are likely to be swamp gas sightings. A naturally occurring process in swamp-like areas causes the creation of “swamp gas.”… A combination of chemicals interacting with the air has the potential to create a flickering effect in the air.
