By Lucy Ji. Woods. , .Recently, some flashing lights were reported near Goderich,
investigation proved that thgy were trem no man-made source,
nor did they answer the description. qf flying saucers ^r vehicle?
from outer space. The conclusion w^s that these sudden bright
flashes were caused by WflHO-The-Wisps.
Thqt set Lucy thinklnggboto 'thepb It was a long time since the
storieq were told in achaal in hushed tapes, of the figure of a lady
Who drowned in a nqng bwifle the/ront road in the soring freshet,

Then there was the gc»tl«mtoi who fell jpto a creek on the Sauble ,
Line and died, being qpen rising .ttp oik qf the creek at certain
times. , j . . • , f
It fairly gave one the <yeaj»sl But when Lucy went home and told
the tales to her parents, they iflhcounHd these nocturnal visits from
the spirit world. And Jack-O-Lantern or Will-
‘ O-The-Wisn which ‘ had nothing to.do With spirits or ghosts.
The dictionary defines if as a mete^M* appears in low moist
lands. . * v . 1
“Did you ever see FoMfreV* aa$q4fcarl.Tt is a greenish light
which comes off decayed JimW * phosphorescent light”,
the 'dictionary calls It. At W' years ago, Carl found some
on their farm and took a Utfle into the house but gradually
the green light it emitted to the dari| disappeared.
Mrs. Charles Bell 'aay» tfoat ape used often to see Jack-O-
Lanterns at the back of; the^ farmon the fourth concession when
milking the cows at night;
She’d also been told flfcltMg’i appeared near the old hole on their
farm, by her Uncle Jadfc Lindsay, (the Lindsay homestead now
owned by Anthony Blok>It WM where work commenced on what
was to be a gold mine in tha early; days, The hole was full of gas
and George Lindsay waraid all .hi» children to stay away from it.
He had once thrown' a rag down itj and it bounced right back up
again. It was covered with ojd rails,
John Lindsay told Lu-y ;4ie. .was about seventeen years of age
when he saw the first WlIP*O-TTto-Wisp. It came up at the farm
owned by J. Semple, a ^ge fall flfflrq floated up out of the swamp.
In it were all the colors It sailed along and faded
into tire atmosphere. V ■'
John saw the second one? about 'twelve years later. Two huge
balls of fire came up from the riW flats behind the “Hog’s back”
and floated together dpwn the river Va|ley to about the bed of the
old dam and then disappeared,
These two large meteors seemed to be connected and were
also seen by Tom Clark and. hi? daughter Clara, living in the
present Tom Penhale house. ; <■> '

“They always cojne up flom iwarnaiy marshy land,” said John.
Asked if there were any superstition attached to them John
said “No, not when you know what tlnjy drq!”
In the early days there wsjb probably mare superstition concerning
such phenomena especially aijaongsi ttye Irish settlers.
i Lucy recalls hearing a told abgwt A tom whp lived in the house
owned by Mrs. George Hopson, dte.had married him a young wife.
When she was aboiit td give blyth- to a baby,, she wanted her husband
to go for the plqneer physician. Hr. Niyian Woods who lived at
“Stanley Villa” (now “Marswi4ie”>. <■
Now it was the witching-hpi«r.efmld-«ilihtand very dark out The
father-to-be looked out' thought of the big swamp
through which he’d have- to pays on .the lake shore road to fetch
the Doctor. His heart qu|l!qd witoia'.hi1n wasn’t that where so
many of those Jack’O-LsntoTBn nuddenly -rose up? And so he
went back to tne jroung wife In ehfld labor and asked “Anne,
