A Ghost Light in the Dark

August 23, 2021

This episode originally aired during Pride 48 in July, but we loved it so much, we wanted to share it with you. The topic is on ghost lights, or mysterious lights...that intend to kill! First, Cody shares lore around Will o’ the Wisps, which (to Cody’s shock) is actually named after a guy named Will! These lights try to lure people to their death in swampy areas. Then, Chris talks about corpse lights, or phantom funerals, which are lights that appear in Wales near the dying to predict their deaths. Next, Cody discusses the Min Min lights in Australia, unexplained lights seen by hundreds that tried to lure a reporter over a chasm. Finally, Chris dives into the Brown Mountain Lights of North Carolina, which were so mysterious and widespread, they prompted an investigation by the U.S. Geological Survey. Creep of the week is a horrifying Irish castle experience from listener Heather. Drinks this week are Special Effect and Sea Sun Chardonnay.
