I see "fiery red spooky shapes" every year at Glastonbury.......I keep going back though.......except this year of course !

That'll be the L.S.D

The ghost of Mrs Headstuffings boogy boogys?

I couldn't possibly say.....however were you type "U2 One Glastonbury" into Youtube....quite possibly the very best thing I can ever ever remember seeing and then the lights went out ......metaphorically......my wife woke me from a ditch in the pouring rain in the early hours.....disgraceful behaviour for an ageing hippy but apparently I was still smiling......marvellous.....anyway....back to varnishing my latest fishing thing here....oh....and September for Wells then.. ..I will bring the Ouija Board !

How delightful. If there are no spooks present, we'll conjure our own!

No, something quite close that simply vanished...

A whisp? I've never seen one but know they exist.

That is more or less what he thought, SK, but he was still pretty shaken up

He said it was easily the size of a football...
I wonder...

I'd love to see something like that, it would be fascinating. Having heard about ball lightning, marsh gas or whatever it may be, to witness one first hand would be a thrill. Its odd that our first reaction is one of fear, a throw back from our ancient selves running rather than reasoning I suppose but when you've got over the initial shock you would have to think that you are absolutely privileged to have witnessed such a rare event.
