Doesn’t sound like swamp gas, to me.

At some level and depending on type . . .

some such things seem to be essentially identical to poltergeist phenomena.

It was Bailey's light I tell ya! Brit Bailey was reported to have been buried standing up with his gun, his whiskey and his lantern very near the site where I saw his light.

His will read "entered into the ground erect" not positive about the accessories. We lived just a few miles down the road and I heard the children who were burned up in the fire........... about 50 years after it happened. The woods were definitely spooky.
