Saw something really strange...

Skive

Earlier as a mate and I were taking the 'jooks' for a walk we saw several strange blue glowing lights down by the stream and bog.
Got back to my mates caravan and explained what we saw to his old man and he reckoned it was 'Hinky Punk', but didn't explain any further.
I've googled but without much success, anhbody ever come across anything similar?

Bizarre.

The forest was quite misty this evening, though.

Not marsh gas or owt, it being a bog?

Or maybe just people fucking about? Could be anything, so much we don't know about the world...

I doubt it.

In the middle of fucking nowhere quite clearly we saw a blue glow only 20ft or so away. It glowed on on off several times.

Very strange.

wtf are 'jooks'???

Hum well my guesses would be either marsh gas but thats unlikely or some kind of weird light refraction by the mist.

omfg I seen some wierd shit near where I live like several times...

Once I saw this creature that looked like an alien dog with long arms crawling up a bank and it seemed to be trying to hide... Y'know like in Metal gear Solid with those invisibility suits?

Another time I was walking home and saw a creature about two foot tall that was like a minature human walk past.

Can't remember whether I was stoned or not.

Um. Wilo' the wisp springs to mind. I heard that they are something like puffs or wisps of gas that spring up from the bog/marsh. Could be what it was.

Just found this..

"Much atmospheric methane is biological in origin. Bacteria produce methane in the absence of oxygen (the so-called "anaerobic" bacteria). It is these bacteria that decompose the plant and animal refuse in wetlands and marshes (other names for methane include "swamp" or "marsh" gas, although the fumes come mostly the hydrogen sulphide mixed with it). Wetlands are currently thought to produce about a fifth of the world's total emissions of methane each year (around 115 million metric tonnes, based on 1991 figures)."
