Often folklore is more romantic than science. Even if Will-‘o-the-wisps were mere marsh gas over swampy lands, their benign/eery luring of people to their lights beguiled forever.
“There was in every hollow
A hundred wrymouthed wisps.”
-Dafydd ap Gwilym (14thc) #SwampSunday

On Midsummer's Eve at midnight,
When we mortals all are sleeping.)
