Title: Ignis Fatuus or Marsh Light

Caption: In folklore, a will-o'-the-wisp or ignis fatuus is an atmospheric ghost light seen at night, especially over bogs or marshes. Modern science explains them as natural phenomena such as bioluminescence or chemiluminescence. Colored wood engraving by Charles H. Whymper (1853-1941).
