Aliases: The Weeping Light, The Widow of the Marsh, She-Who-Leads
Description:
Manifestation appears as a tall, spectral female figure with faintly luminous skin and hollow eyes. Carries a lantern emitting pale yellow-blue light, identified as marsh-gas ignition sustained through unknown means. Surrounding insects and small moths often trapped within the flame.
Nature and Behaviour:
Predatory lure entity, harvesting the souls or emotional essence of wanderers. Capable of emitting low-frequency sound that induces trance or homesickness. Victims follow willingly, believing they are being guided home or to safety, only to be led into deep water or bog gas pockets.
Displays occasional benevolence — some historical accounts record survivors guided to firm ground after invoking her with honest grief. Behaviour possibly dictated by emotional resonance of petitioner.
Field Notes:
Visual manifestations correlate with methane release events and faint electromagnetic surges. Recovered witness described sensation of “walking through memory made light.”
Containment Protocols:
Use tethered personnel with filtered lamps during night operations. Avoid engaging any free-floating lights over water. Counter-lure recommended: mirrored lantern emitting steady red spectrum.
