Martebo lights

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Farmlands around Martebo Church

The Martebo lights (in Swedish, "Marteboljusen" or "Marteboljuset") are "ghost lights" which have been seen since the early 1900s on a road in Martebo on the Swedish island of Gotland.[1] In Sweden, it is believed that the will-o'-the-wisp represents the soul of an unbaptized person "trying to lead travelers to water in the hope of being baptized".[2][3]
