Weird Fireflies
06/2021

A friend and I were watching fireflies on her property one night. I noticed that some of the "fireflies" were different colors--colors that don't exist in fireflies, like red, orange, pink, blue-green. They blinked and bobbed around like fireflies, it's just the colors were wrong. Also, the red ones kind of hovered in a cluster, while the other colors moved around more. An orange one trailed by a smaller pink one came into the yard, within maybe 10 or 15 feet of where I was standing. I took my phone out of my pocket to try and get a picture and they all disappeared. (The regular fireflies were not affected.) The mystery lights didn't come back until after I put my phone back in my pocket. I asked my friends if she could see the colored lights and she said no. I saw them on three or four different occasions over about a month. Since the fireflies went away at the end of the summer, I haven't seen them. I have acquaintances who say they've seen similar colored lights in other places around the county.

What Is A Liminal Map?

Spooky things happen every day all around us! Instead of brushing these peculiar moments and bizarre encounters off as chance, or mere coincidence, what if we talked about them, mapped them, and tried to decode the message?

Is there a specific place where you've seen fairies, ghosts, bigfoot, time travelers, extraterrestrials, ultraterrestrials, crow conferences, sentient lawn computers, lanyard'd ogres, broccoli wizards, etc.? Does your town have an urban legend you'd love to get to the bottom of?
