Throughout history there have been tales of the marshlands being haunted by strange glowing creatures of the night. The areas of once untamed marshland around the Fen country of England were once a place feared by those who attempted to cross its pathways during the hours of darkness. The wind would whisper through the ancient reed beds and thickets of alder and willow trees, the firm ground would have often have been hard to distinguish from the swamp that lay in wait for its next victim. Many a lone unwary traveller would never have been seen or heard of again after attempting to cross the marshlands. One wrong step would have them sucked down into the bottomless dark mud as they gasped for their final breath of air. Ghostly flickering lights where often seen by locals and travellers at night known to the locals as Jack of lanterns, Will o the wisp or Jenny burnt ashes that would lead those that where good of heart to safety over the marshes and those of a dark heart would be lead deeper into the marshes to meet their untimely death. Folklore tells us of these strange marsh lights as being evil creatures with lanterns on their backs or fairy lantern bearers. It was once said that to whistle whilst crossing theses lands at night would most surely conjure up these glowing creatures. The only way to hold of an attack by these creatures was to lie face down, hold your breath and hope upon hope that they would leave you alone.

As we rounded the church to the main entrance there were four luminous green orbs the size of footballs about 12” off the ground in exactly the same position as we were standing.” “I had returned home from work late one evening and was unlocking the back door when something made me look up. Not sure why I felt compelled to look up at the time but when I did I noticed a ball of light about a couple of feet in diameter just above the roof top. It moved in a silent motion away from the house and across the night sky and out of view behind some trees.” I have myself been on many vigils at haunted locations and witnessed odd light anomalies.
