  Will o’  the Wisp
  An interview with “Crazy” Eddie Eddington,
  ghost rock prospector. Recorded and submitted by
  Explorer Kaspar Schwartz.
  Me an’ Paul was lookin’ for a good place to
  mine, but havin’ no luck at all. We’re runnin’
  short on vittles, so I says it’s time to git back to
  Tombstone. Well, soon as I say that, we find an
  abandoned mine. We go in careful like in case
  there’s gas there. That’s when we sees it: a little
  ball o’ light dancin’ in the air.
  I yells, “Run! It’s gonna blow!” and I take off
  like a madman. I look back at Paul, and would
  you believe it, he’s walkin’ toward the ball o’
  light. He’s all glassy-eyed an’ such, an’ I yells,
  “Hey Paul, get yer kiester over here!” But he just
  keeps a walkin’ towards that light.
  Well I keep runnin’, till I’m a hunnert yards
  outside the mine. I keep waitin’ for the BOOM,
  but don’ hear nothin’ About an hour later, I goes
  back into the mine and find Paul at the bottom
  of the main shaft with a broken neck.
  I don’ know what’s down there, an’ I ain’t goin’
  back. If you wanna take a look, it’s your funeral.

  Baton Rouge Millionaire Missing!
  Baton Rouge law enforcement officials are
  baffled by the disappearance of wealthy
  shipping magnate Garret Langtree. Langtree
  seems to have walked out of his house and
  straight into the wilderness.
  Langtree, the founder and owner of Langtree
  International Shipping, was last seen just before
  dusk. “Master Langtree almost always took a
  walk around that time of day,” said family butler
  Lawrence Hodkins. “It was his custom to walk
  down by the riverside.”
  Langtree wasn’t missed until he failed to
  show up for dinner, and a search party was
  formed. Searchers were able to track Langtree
  down the riverside for about a mile before his
  trail led into Elderwood Swamp.
  The search was led by Langtree’s son Jacob,
  who described the thorough and methodical
  search of the area.
  “We tracked Father into the swamp for about
  one hundred yards, but quickly lost his trail in
  the mud,” said the distraught younger Langtree.
  “I can’t understand what Father was doing
  walking straight into the swamp like that!” 
  Authorities speculated that Garret Langtree
  may have been drinking, but Jacob and his
  mother, Melinda, insist that he was a teetotaler.
  One man claims to have seen Garret Langtree
  on his fateful walk, but his testimony is being
  discounted by the authorities. Jackson
  Featherstone, a local boatman claims he saw
  Garret Langtree on that Thursday evening.
  Featherstone described a strange hovering light
  that Langtree seemed to be following.
  “It looked just like a lantern hanging in the air
  in front of him, bobbing along like someone was
  carrying it.” said Featherstone. “Looking at it
  made me feel all funny, and I•almost walked
  right off the edge of my own boat trying to
  follow it myself.”
  Featherstone’s claims have been completely
  ignored by investigators, who claim that the man
  is a “notorious drunk and liar.”
  This is not the first missing person’s case to
  strike the area around Elderwood Swamp. This
  paper has learned that no less than twelve
  people have vanished in “mysterious
  circumstances” in the last six months.
  Never follow strange lights.—N.T.
