Have you guys heard of the desert ghoul? 🧞

Whoa. That’s a convincing explanation indeed. I’m impressed 👏🏽
I think I’m going to quote you here with your permission whenever I hear someone discusses desert ghouls lol @Onestarlitnight

@SW-User
Haha 😆
Thank you 😊 be my guest!

@Onestarlitnight I get zapped by lift buttons and escalators 👀

It's also believed that they like to feed on bones in particular ☠️🏴‍☠️ lol
@littlepuppywantanewlife

@SW-User sounds crazy.

@SW-User I hope if I come there i could safely fetch of the oil and food. ☺️

@mayguy I wonder if this is Ball Lighting ?

@Dave1955 Hmm.... that's an excellent question!

That's eerily similar 😶 @mayguy

Seems very similar @Dave1955

@SW-User i wonder if it’s some other type of gas that is escaping from the earth through the desert sands?

I'm not sure @cherokeepatti

@SW-User In the western part of the USA there is a large desert that the native people say has shapeshifters that will chase cars and cause physical harm to people. There are other names that they have given them, the Navajo people call them Skin-Walkers. From what I have read there are natives who have ventured into dark witchcraft and they are thinking these are demon spirits that they have conjured up and now inhabit the desert. I used to think I’d like to drive through the desert area but after reading accounts of people being chased while driving at night and these creatures whatever they are chasing them and getting right up to their car windows and looking in at the occupants of the vehicles I think it’s a terrible idea. I’ve only been through the desert while we were driving on an interstate highway that had regular traffic day and night.

Never heard of those 😶 Fascinating! They sound quite similar to desert ghouls. I would love to see a fantasy movie or a documentary about fairy lights. It appears to be that the purpose of those mythical creatures in different cultures is one. They lure humans by using their own curiosity against them @4meAndyou

@SW-User In the trilogy series "The Lord of the Rings", one of the Hobbits falls into a bog, and peers down into the water, and there he sees ancient dead warriors, and strange lights, and ancient weapons. It's a cultural tale which was embellished by the author, but it is also based on a little bit of fact.

In many northern European countries there are perfectly preserved ancient bodies being discovered in peat bogs. Archeologists believe that the peat in these bogs preserves the body somehow. I read an article about it, and they think that ancient civilizations used to sacrifice their kings and queens, or even young virgins, to appease the so called "gods" during times of famine.

Interesting! I’ve read stories from around the world and it seems they come in different colors depending on the surroundings. In the desert the lights are usually of a warm color like yellow/orange. By the sea it’s typically a cool tone such as blue or green like you said. How did you feel when you saw them? @Jimbo7

@SW-User I was like WTF did you see that and everyone fishing were like wow ,then coastguards were informed and we watched as they searched with boat and helicopter.
It was around 2am

Wow. I can imagine they were fascinating to see. Many people feel scared/creeped out but I think I'd be excited lol @Jimbo7

@SW-User Just like Bigfoot 😛

I thought that was just a giant bear walking on 2 legs @TheDeathOfOzymandiaz

@SW-User It may well be ...... but ..... no one knows what it is 😂

It’s not a UFO in the typical sense. They take a very specific form and usually appear at night (or dusk) @justlooking2023

That’s a great term you just coined instead of sugar rush or foodgasm from sweets @basilfawlty89

Haha I hope so 🫣@Darksideinthenight2

Here we don’t believe in ghosts as in dead people coming back to life, but more like jinn shaping into the form of a dead person in an imperfect way. There has to be something odd/missing about it @empanadas
