    Around Christmas last year (very warm and damp) our neighbour told us how he saw lights on top of the tree in the back yard. He figured it may have been Firefox fungus. It may have also been akin to St. Elmo’s fire, a electric discharge due to the odd weather. I enjoyed how excited he was about the experience, I would have liked to have seen it myself.

    This is going to be a real boon for.the community. Most of RUclips has been getting more and more stale as they endlessly recycle the same 40 or 50 famous UFO, alien, cryptid and weird stories and they all use each other as sources, with a few exceptions like this amazing gem of a channel and a few others.
    Having someone being willing to delve into the gigantic trove of physical media and old magazines etc about the entire paranormal subject is an absolute breath of fresh air and a baaaaadly needed shot in the arm. I cannot wait!
    And there is no better place for.your freind's trove.....as itll be shared with people who truly appreciate it and absolutely love this subject. You couldnt ask for a better legacy than to have your lifes work being slowly explored and fed to an appreciative worldwide audience. Thanks to him and thanks to you! We appreciate this gift massively!

    There is the Marfa lights in Texas which I'm sure you're aware of. And I know other people have done videos about them they reoccur over and over again also I would like to know if you heard of The Great Battle of the native tribes against the Giants in Nevada and the bones sandals and handprints they found on the cave walls indicating a great fire. And I wonder why the Smithsonian Museum always feels the need to take giant bones and archive them away from the public only to disappear forever

    These balls are called Min Min Lights in Australia. They’ve been seen for thousands of years in the Outback, and recorded since the earliest white settlers arrived. They’re still frequently seen especially in inland Queensland. People know not to chase them or try to interact with them because people have disappeared doing that 🫥 There are even signs up

    Those are lovely photographs - I really enjoyed them. These odd tales fascinate me - will o'the wisps are also called corpse lights or candles in parts of GB. Again, usually in boggy places, they allegedly follow the 'coffin roads', paths taken by funeral parties in the days when the dead would be bourne to a cemetery for burial. Interestingly, in one part of Slovenia they are attributed to the souls of the dead, exhumed and disturbed in the 19th century for the building of a railway.

    I also commented on the video about the shaking tent ceremonys and shared a true story of my own in which I forgot to mention more of the paranormal activity that was happening in the area of our camp. I live in a Old gold rush community in the foothills of California. One night I was alone in my tent when it sounded as if I was in an old western saloon with all the voices and noise of glasses clanking etc. all I can say is that it was definitely very weird. Although I could hear all the voices I couldn't make out anything being said, like being in a large crowd of people. True story

    I think it's a winning idea, Hammerson! Broadening your scope to include mysteries worldwide will serve to illustrate how those phenomena documented in Canada are indeed seen across the globe. As those patterns emerge they will affirm Canadian forteana as a valuable gold mine of credible historical data points with paying attention to.

      I know Hynek is infamous for having been coerced into using that as an explanation for a flying saucer sighting, but was he the first to suspect marsh gas could cause swamp lights? I think that idea was around for quite a while before he applied it to UFOs.

    Will-o'-the-wisp called Tei-Pai-Wankas by the Wampanoag in accompanying Pukwudgie Lore are Not Ball Lighting! (I grew up on the MA Border in NH so would reference local native lore for strange happenings in the area) I've seen a Red Orb Weaving through the Trees, Basketball or so in Size, Floating or more like Cruising at least at head level if not a few feet higher, I was Watching this for over a Minute, till it changed directions for Me, and I went Driving Out of the Townsend State Forest (out the NH Entrance) as Fast as that Jeep Would Move, Never Looking Back, because I was going to Fast to take my eyes of the Dirt Trail and all the little rocks I had to miss. Now another time with Two People I seen a White-ish Orb, just a foot or so above the Power Lines, and nearly onsite of it by all 3 of us directly pointing it out to each other, it shot directly down the powerline flanking one side of the Road, at like 100mph plus, whole time just skimming above the Powerlines, now that I would take an explanation was some sort of Ball Lighting, but not that Red Orb, you'll never convinve me of that!

With one Person I went exploring with (it was an old abandoned Village from the NH side, Small, Large Rock Foundations, and the Trails (once used by Carriages, but kept in place by periodic logging of the Woods) we went deep enough to Find a Fenced in Area, No Trespassing, an Old Fence and Old Signs just in the Middle of the Place, which surely had him intrigued. But one day, not even all that Far from where you walk in, I don't think even a 1/4 mile in, 1st Trail on the Right (slightly before a rock walled in area I use to play paintball in as a Kid) not far down it, I kept looking to my Right, Looking for some Squirrells, must be two of them playing loudly to conduce the sound of something walking couldn't be much more than 5 feet off the Trail Flanking us, and all the Brush Cleared Up for 10 feet (maybe 7?) and there was nothing there, but the Sounds coming right from that Empty Area, and my Buddy Immediately Proclaimed there was Something Invisible Stalking us just to our side off the Trail, and Bluntly Asked me if that why we have Swords, and Tomahawks, and Knives, and I told him Yes, this is where I seen RL, and he was Pissed at me, and we turned right around, and for the oddest reason, he never really wanted to go Hiking with me again.. My Old Glass Boss (from the now long defunct Milford Glass and Mirror) grew up in Townsend, and after what happened to one of his School Teachers, and what him and his Sister Seen out the Window (Growing up on the Edge of the Townsend State Forest) he warned me of the Townsend State Forest and to Never Go in there, so when I went to work the Next Day and Told him of RL, he was Like I Told You, Never Go In there!

    Hammerson,
    Do you have a podcast? If not, it seems like it would be a very fine fit for you. I am noticing that podcasts for this type of content are being taken advantage of by many of these channels, and it must be a money maker because huge channels like Mr. Ballen have them even though they get plenty of views here. I hear streamers mention it in passing too as a lucrative medium.
    "Weird Darkness" just started uploading on YT, and pumps out videos everyday due to them having had a podcast for years it must be. Worth lo9oking into for sure I think to help bring in more income for you. You have tons of content already as well, which would be great to jumpstart it.
