There are scary and fascinating stories associated with them, and they attract many visitors, each hoping to see a ball of fire floating over a cemetery or a jack-o\'-lantern illuminating a corner of the Great Dismal Swamp or a long-dead railroad man swinging his lantern in search of his severed head.
These Ghost Lights are well known in their localities.
Nearly half of all reported Ghost Lights shine, blink, burn, dance, or float somewhere in the state.
