Wanderlight

Wanderlight appears as one or more floating lights, usually white, pale blue, or yellow, moving without an obvious source. They may drift at head height, hover near the ground, or appear higher along the ridge. Some flicker like lantern flames; others glow steady like small electric bulbs in midair. No physical lanterns, poles, or vehicles are found when the area is searched.

“I was coming back from my sister's place, road dead-ends past our place, no houses after hers. As I came around the bend by the creek, a light appeared in the trees on the bank. Thought it was a four-wheeler at first, but there was no beam, just a round ball of white light. It moved along with the car, about level with my window, keeping pace for maybe a quarter mile. No shape behind it, no noise. When I slowed, it slowed. When I sped up a bit, it did too. Right before the driveway, it lifted up above the tree tops and winked out. No power lines there, no other road it could have come from. I checked the bank the next day. No tracks, no sign of anybody hanging lights.”
