***Brief Description***

JaceH555 is the fist player to ever join all the way back in December of 2019 or Season 1. He was responsible for the creation of several factions including: The Empire of Season 1, The Republic of Season 3, Charlesonia, and the Republic of Charles. He is the one who found Charles and revealed him to the rest of Civilization. He then became a devout follower of the Charles religion of season 5, which would be referred to as Charles Classicalsim today. He founded the "Charlesonia" faction in honor of Charles. He has since made it his mission to protect and improve Charlesonia as best he can.

***Season 1***

After starting the world, Jace along with ShockedLawer and HD searched for a suitable place to build a home. They settled in a narrow valley in the spawn region and began mining into the mountain. During the season Jace specialized in the sale of produce. There were several small farms along the outside of their base, the majority of them used for beetroots. Jace, Hd and Shocked would begin working towards expanding their production. They started selling coal blocks and other ores alongside their farm produce. As a result they started using the first recorded example of Slave Labor to work their mines. It wasn't long before these slaves would revolt and escape the spawn region via the unusually large ocean nearby. Jace would end up selling his produce to these former slaves as they began building up their own society. Jace would dedicate the rest of the season to improving upon his trade and trying to create a world map. He also founded the First faction in the form of The Empire which would last until the start of season 3.

***Season 2***

Jace spent the whole of season 2 preserving and expanding the empire which at this point was a giant villiage. The Empire of season 2 was held up by villager trade, as a result the imperial high command, consisting of Jace and anonymous382 were heavily invested in the agricultural business. The empire would end up driving away Rlpuk who lived in a settlement in the direct path of imperial expansion. Jace would be present at the first actual battle of the SMP at the Himalayan mountain owned by rlpuk. Jace would be the one who planned out the attack but it would all prove useless when Rlpuk simply gathered his things and fled thousands of blocks away. The empire would eventually destroy his base and build their new farm tower design. After the Empire effectively conquered any competition it continued to expand until the end of the season.
Nigma Virus

Nigma Virus is a harmful virus which first infected JaceH555 on October 4th, 2021. It causes people to grow large noses and will turn many parts of their body to one certain color. People with already large noses, such as Jace, are much more vulnerable to the virus, as it is capable of weakening the infected, a very bad thing to happen to especially a World Leader.
The Defense of Lopad

## Before the Ambush

A new faction had come to the world in the aftermath of the Charlesonian Slave Revolt. Not much is known about their origins, however it is confirmed that either Tattierpeom or Demonix were associated. The monkes ended up declaring war on the charlesonains for killing one of these two people. Upon hearing of this Lopad decided that they would try to help charles in his endeavor against the monke's who had promised to take over the world utilizing guerilla warfare. Eventually lopad would discover that the monkes were located right next to them in the jungle and they would go on to burn their base to the ground. Upon seeing this, The monke's new leader, SimplyFrogg, attacked and killed Luke, taking all of his items.

## The Defense of Lopad

Jace would offer his help to luke upon hearing of this and he raised a posse to save Luke's precious items. The charlesonians then took the long trip to lopad where they met luke on the coast of the jungle. He took them to lopad where Jace decided they would try to ambush Frogg. The charlesonians would wait for well over 30 minutes for everyone to arrive at lopad, however they all eventually would. All this time they were expecting Frogg to bring a small army from spawn to raid lopad with him, this is why jace was still not certain that victory was guaranteed. The Posse crouched on their horses in the jungle as they waited for frogg to arrive. Jace once again decided to make his odds greater by tricking Frogg into thinking that he would be there to help him destroy lopad. When Frogg arrived the posse jumped out of the wooded area on horseback and destroyed him. It turns out that he was actually alone meaning he stood no chance.

## After the Battle

The posse would eventually head to the ruins of the monke base and uncover a document shedding a bit of light on the Foundation of the Faction. Broba fett wanted to raid the monke's new fort and uncover more so jace decided to try and continue his lie, however was unsuccessful.

Order of Blocky

# ***OOB Season 7***

the order of blocky was created in early season 7 during the spawn war under the name “Order of the block”. The order had a longhouse in Charlesonia which was built by wailky for a sum of diamonds. The order really didn’t see a lot of action in season 7 however the very name would bring fear to those who did too much trolling. At the end of season 7 the order was disbanded and the longhouse burned.

After the rise of factionalism in season 8, prominent unificationalists Broba, and Blocky reformed the order of blocky to deal out revenge upon the Factionalists. They saw their first real action at the battle of port jimothy where they were essential to the defeat of the factionalists there.

# ***OOB Chapter 2 Season 1***

Blocky made his great return to the server in Chapter 2 season 1 and reformed order of blocky.
The Charlesonian Bank Heist

Slack and GLX Doritos had passed by the Charlesonian bank multiple and contemplated robbing it. Eventually, Slack began doing some reconnaissance and scouting around the bank, to see if there were any possible entrances. Spongybelt saw him doing this, so Slack quickly left.

## The First Heist

Slack and GLX had at last arrived at a time in which nobody was playing, and wouldn't for a while. They gathered lots of ender pearls, and began pearling into the crevices of the bank. They teleported around the redstone machinery towards the vault. They teleported into the vault, and stole the diamond blocks that were stored inside. They stole some of the blocks, and reorganized them so that it wouldn't be noticeable that some blocks were stolen. They were never caught.

## The Second Heist

The second heist was far more ballsy, and this time, Slack and GLX stole all of the diamond blocks in the vault. They pearled into it once again, took all of the diamond blocks and had no difficulty leaving. The diamond blocks were once again never noticed. As tabs were never kept on the bank.

## The Chonk Duped Items And Heist

Chonk had a massive dupe stash at his base, with shulkers full of duped diamond blocks, iron blocks and gold blocks. These were confiscated by Charlesonia and placed in the bank. Slack and GLX heard about this, and began another plot to heist the bank. Slack and GLX once again had no difficulty breaking into the vault with ender pearls. However, after taking everything from the barrels that contained the dupe stash, they ran into difficulty when escaping. GLX had run out of ender pearls, and Slack had to go get some to break GLX out. Once outside, Slack and GLX split up the earnings from the heist.

Democratic Republic of Kanteria

### Introduction

The Democratic Republic of Kanteria was a faction on the Charles SMP that was officially founded on July 16th, 2022 during the downtime in between S9 and S10. It was founded by a unification of the short-lived Gigachad Republic and the Cope Empire. It consists of four experienced members and two regulars.

### Pre-S10 history

The Cope Empire and the Based Republic leaders agreed to unite in a DM on Discord. Tattier managed to get into Season 10 early, and got himself armor rather quickly. Unfortunately, the server shut down for the week-long downtime, and that ends Pre-S10 history.

### SX

The Kanterians established a foothold not far from spawn and have been mining resources to put to use for survival and defense. Many members have joined and it is, so far, the fastest growing faction in Season 10. In September, after the Great Unbanning, the server experienced a huge wave in activity, as old banned members returned, clean of their old ways and law abiding. Kanteria went to war with Dreamland and Gallaria, a war which is still ongoing.

The Democratic Republic of Kanteria got disbanded after a long period of inactivity.

***Brief Description (In His Own Words)***

Im Wailky a.k.a Wailky2008. I took part of Season 6 and present. I was an architect in season 6 and started my own faction called "Roma" in Season 7. And in season 8 i started a city called Jimothia, Season 9 was rough. In early Season 9, i started the faction „Egypt“. In late Season 9, i was the mayor of Blackwater in Charlesonia. In the second chapter og this SMP, i got the chance to rule over Charlesonia and continue its legacy.

***Season 6 (In His Own Words)***

Peace at Last

My first time joining Charles SMP was in Season 6. In a evening in Ramadan. When i joined, i wasn't treated good. I got punched around and got bad food. (Rotten Flesh, Rotten Potatoes) But i had a feeling that this was the right SMP for me.

***Season 7 (In His own Words)***

Thieves, Criminals and Spies

When Season 7 was about to come out, i was excited to experience a cool SMP. I expected it to be better but it was way worse. The situation in season 7 is confusing. Many rumors of corruption and many rumors of peoples dark secret... that's why i chose to make Roma. To forget all of the conflict.

***Season 8 (In His Own Words)***

The Resistance

Begin Season 8 i hoped again for a better season without all of the major conflict. But it became worse every episode. The United World Powers got formed. Which is a very strong alliance, it was planned that roma would be in it, but i didn't accept the offer. Much more conflict, battles, fights were happening in Season 8. The rivalry between Charlesonia and UWP was very big. Luckily the UWP fell down. So i restored an abandoned village near charlesonia and called it Jimothia. We never know what will happen in the Future......

***Season 9 (In His Own Words)***

Age of Misery

Season 9 was a season where i mostly lost eveeverything. I came back on the idea to make my own faction like Roma. Thats where I made Egypt. Everything was good back then with Ragefull, Ztub and Mariod. But something worser than a war, killed Egypt. And it was all fault of something that had to do with nature: Timezones. Due to that i wasnt able to join egypt. And Ragefull and Ztub left me, claiming that they didnt know what to do and made a base 100 blocks away from egypt. But mariod is the most loyal feller i have ever seen. He still stayed in egypt and didnt join ztub. He is now on his way to charlesonia as i told him the news. In season 9, everything is starting to change. I made a new city in Charlesonia, called Blackwater. And now im building a new faction called Masyaf.
Fragosa Jelly Man

## Overview and Evidence

The **Fragosa Jelly Man** was a strange amorphous entity reportedly sighted by two siblings in the Cáceres province of Spain in 1965. In the summer of that year, the rural village of Fragosa near the border between Spain and Portugal became the site of one of the most bizarre alleged paranormal encounters to this day. One afternoon that summer, siblings Juan and Isabel Dominguez (ages unspecified) were bringing home several baskets of peaches. While passing a stone wall separating them from the garden of their local church, they noticed a strange entity pacing back and forth near the wall.

The entity was described by the pair as a six foot semi-humanoid creature with seemingly gelatinous and translucent flesh. The faceless creature had incredibly long arms that hung nearly to the ground that seemed to sway to and fro. When the creature diverted from its course and began approaching the two siblings, they fled, leaving their spilled peach baskets behind.

The potential identity of this figure is hard to discern. It is easy to simply conclude that this entity must have been some kind of extraterrestrial, but there were no known UFO reports from the area (or any other paranormal reports, for that matter). It is more likely that the incident, provided that it even occurred as reported, was a case of mistaken identity, as with most cases. However, the culprit is unclear. It is possible that the creature was some kind of wading bird, as the wall and church were located near a river, but this is difficult to determine.

Sakhalin Island Monster

## Overview and Evidence

The **Sakhalin Island Monster** was a long serpentine carcass found washed up on Sakhalin, the northernmost island of the Japanese archipelago and a territory belonging to Russia. Found on the beach near Sakhalin's Shakhtersk Airport on the island's southeastern edge in September of 2006, the creature immediately generated a great deal of controversy over its origins.

The creature appeared to be a long serpentine beast stretching nearly 12-15 feet in length. Superficially cetacean in appear, the creature nonetheless seemed to be covered in long dark gray hair, a feature found in no known adult cetaceans. It possessed numerous conical teeth similar to a crocodilian and was missing most of its flesh.

Many hypotheses were thrown around after its discovery. Some suggested that it was a surviving mosasaur, a type of extinct marine lizard closely related to today's varanids or monitor lizards. Careful examinations of the skull and teeth placement led most biologists to conclude that the carcass was that of a whale, most likely a beluga. While the hair would seem to throw that conclusion out, as only newborn belugas have any hair whatsoever, it has been suggested that the 'hair' seen on the body was simply decaying flesh left in tattered strands, perhaps aided by the occasional scavenger.

## Popular Culture

### Internet Culture

* An image of the carcass has often been used as the go-to image for SCP-682, a fictional monster from the *SCP Foundation* website. SCP-682 is depicted as a malevolent and nigh-indestructible creature with contempt for all life on Earth.

Hito Hito no Mi, Model : Daibutsu

Le Hito Hito no Mi, Model : Daibutsu, ou fruit de l'humain, modèle Buddha, permet à l'utilisateur de se transformer en Buddha doré. Il est utilisé par l'Amiral en Chef Sengoku dans le manga.

Il ne possède que 2 capacités, le deuxième plus petit nombre parmi les zoans (L'autre Hito Hito no Mi n'en ayant aucunes), et pourtant l'un des deux plus puissants des zoans. Il est incroyablement résistant en forme Bouddha. Il permet d'augmenter la force et la résistance, en plus de son attaque de zone mortelle.

Avis : Très bon fruit. A la fois résistant et puissant, mais quand même limité. De plus, la forme de Buddha est très grande et passe difficilement dans les endroits confinés. Très efficace contre des ennemis nombreux.

 Impact Wave
Elmendorf Beast

## Overview and Evidence

The **Elmendorf Beast** was a canine-like creature sighted numerous times by Elmendorf, Texas resident Devin McAnally. Often compared to and associated with the Chupacabra, the animal had been sighted by McAnally stalking his farm. Coupled by the deaths of several of his chickens, McAnally concluded that the creature was dangerous and resolved to kill it. The creature was soon shot to death by McAnally.

When examining the corpse, the creature appeared to be a canine-like creature. Its seemingly malnourished frame, weighing a mere 13 pounds, was completely devoid of hair and a desaturated bluish-gray in color. The animal possessed a long pointed snout, large ears, and a long tail like that of a rat.

The origin of the creature was determined rather quickly with DNA tests proving that the creature had been a feral dog of some kind. The animal's grotesque appearance and skin condition has been explained as a severe case of mange, a skin condition common in domesticated mammals caused by parasitic mites. One of the main effects fo mange, particularly the type knwon as sarcoptic mange, is severe hair loss.

The Anguished Man

## Overview and History

**The Anguished Man** is an allegedly haunted painting currently owned by one Sean Robinson, a man living in the county of Cumbria in northwestern England. The painting depicted a humanoid figure with reddish-orange skin (or no skin at all) with empty eye sockets locked in a permanent scream in front of a blue background. Since first talking about it on the Internet, the painting has come to be known as the most haunted painting in the world by those who follow the story.

Robinson claims that he inherited the painting from his grandmother when she passed away. According to him, his grandmother had kept the painting in her attic for 25 years due to the paranormal phenomena it allegedly exuded, particularly shadowy figures and the sounds of crying. Robinson's grandmother reportedly told him that the painting's creator, an artist whose name is as-of-yet unknown, used his own blood as a form of paint and took his own life shortly after it was finished. Robinson claims that strange phenomena started occurring after receiving the piece, specifically the aforementioned shadowy figures and strange noises.

## Interpretations

The most common paranormal hypothesis is that the shadowy figure seen by Robinson and his family is the spirit of the author who painted it and later committed suicide. This story is questionable, partially because it's unfalsifiable and partially because the identity of the artist is unknown according to Robinson's story. The claims that blood was used in the paint could hypothetically be tested but no such studies have been performed yet.

Flashlight Frog

## Overview and Evidence

The **Flashlight Frog** is an as-of-yet unrecognized species of frog that reportedly lives in the tropical rainforests of northern Cameroon in Africa. They were first brought to the attention of the cryptozoological community in June of 1997, when English cryptozoologist and naturalist Jonathan Downes was exploring an animal fair at Newton Abbot in Devon, England. At the fair, he discovered a man selling a group of strange tree frogs kept in a small cage that he claimed could emit bioluminescence from the tip of their snouts.

Downes described the frogs as being fairly small, approximately two inches from the tip of the snout to the rear of the body. The creatures were allegedly monochrome, completely green over its entire body. The flashlight frog's most distinguishing feature was said to be the small horn-like bump on the tip of its nose, which could reportedly emit a bright blue glow used to attract insects.

Downes declined to purchase one and instead relayed the story to local herpetologists, who informed him that no known species of frog possessed any sort of bioluminescence. Today, several species of salamanders and even some frogs are known to be biofluorescent, wherein they will 'glow' if exposed to a bright blue light similar to some scorpions. However, this is separate from bioluminescence, which involves organisms producing their own light. It is possible that the vendor was actually selling Cameroon forest tree frogs (*Leptopelis brevirostris*) while inventing fantastical abilities in order to sell them to gullible customers.

## Popular Culture

### Television

* The flashlight frog appears in two episodes of the animated series *The Secret Saturdays*, "The Kur Stone: Part One" and "Once More the Nightmare Factory".

Disappearance of David Lang

## Overview and History

The **Disappearance of David Lang** refers to an incident, now known to have been a hoax, that allegedly occurred on September 23, 1880. According to the story, a Gallatin, Tennessee farmer named David Lang was walking across an expansive field on his property. As Lang made his way across the field, he supposedly faded away into thin air in full view of his family members, who were watching him from the farmhouse's front porch, and two men riding in a horse-drawn buggy nearby.

The various witnesses raced over to where Lang had disappeared, fearful that he had fallen into a sinkhole or ditch. No such opening was found. As the story goes, Lang's daughter stood where Lang vanished a year later and called out to him, eventually hearing a faint cry calling for help. Retrieving her mother, both daughter and mother heard the cries. Over the next few days, they continued to hear his faint anguished cries, but they eventually became too quiet to hear.

## Interpretations

The story is now known to have been a hoax, or at the very least, an honest misinterpretation of a fictional narrative. No records of a Lang family exist for the town of Gallatin at that time and neither do records of anomalous disappearances with similar circumstances. The most commonly agreed upon source for the story is the short story "The Difficulty of Crossing a Field" by American writer Ambrose Bierce, which revolves around a plantation owner vanishing into thin air. The David Lang version of the story likely originated with mystery novelist Stuart Palmer, who published the original telling of his version in the July 1953 edition of *FATE* magazine and who claimed the story had been told to him by David's daughter, Sarah Lang.

## Popular Culture

### Theater

* In 2002, composer David Lang and playwright Mac Wellman collaborated on a musical based on the story titled *the difficulty of crossing a field*.

Hessdalen Lights

## Overview and Evidence

The **Hessdalen Lights** are a group of anomalous lights occasionally sighted throughout the Hessdalen Valley in Norway. They are the focus of Hessdalen AMS (Hessdalen Automatic Measurement Station), an autonomous research station located in the area founded in 1998.

The lights are generally described as being white, yellow, or reddish in color. The frequency of appearances is inconsistent, appearing seemingly at any time of day and in any weather conditions. The duration of the sightings is also inconsistent with some manifestations clocking in at over an hour. They also display seemingly random behaviors in terms of the direction and speed at which they move about in the sky.

As with all unidentified lights, those in the Hessdalen Valley have invited all manner of speculation regarding their origins. The obvious conclusions, such as misidentification of car headlights and helicopters or ball lightning, have been suggested. Another popular hypothesis involves a phenomenon called piezoelectricity, in which electrical charges build up in certain phyical materials like minerals when subjected to applied mechanical stress.

Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp

## Overview and Evidence

The **Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp** is a cryptozoological reptilian humanoid that is occasionally reported in the vicinity of Scape Ore Swamp and its surrounding areas in Lee County, South Carolina. The claim to fame for the nearby town of Bishopville, the creature has since become one of the more famous reptilian cryptids in the past few years to the point that the town now has an annual Lizard Man Weekend festival in June. Sightings have slowed to a crawl in recent years, but the biggest rash of sightings occurred in the late 1980s beginning with the July 14, 1988 discovery of a car covered in bite marks and scratches.

The creature is often described as a muscular humanoid entity standing at least six or seven feet tall. Green in color and often coated with a wet sheen, this reptilian beast reportedly has skin covered in scales like those of a snake or lizard, three-fingered hands, and red or yellow eyes. It is reportedly very aggressive and has been blamed on numerous damage cars.

Evidence for the creature is scarce. In August of 2015, a photograph surfaced online allegedly showing the lizard man. The photo (shown above and below), taken by Sumter resident Sarah Berra while leaving church Sunday morning, depicts a very muscular bipedal dinosaur-like creature with grey skin, red eyes, and a dragging tail. However, the creature in the photo is very clearly a man in a mediocre lizard costume, the biggest signs being the grotesquely bloated feet designed to fit a shoe inside and the limp tail that doesn't continue the creature's spine in a natural flowing way.

The idea that this is an actual reptilian creature has some holes. While there are some lizard species that can run on their hind legs (such as the frilled-neck lizard and common basilisk), none of them are native to South Carolina and the ones that do can only do so for short bursts. No known lizards are skeletally adapted for bipedal locomotion. Another large sticking point is the creature's dactyly (the arrangement of toes and fingers). All extant (currently living) species of lizards, like most other tetrapods, have five toes, but the lizard man is usually reported as only having three.

One could potentially explain these discrepancies by saying the creature is from another planet or dimension with a different evolutionary history, but such a hypothesis is unfalsifiable. It is likely that several (if not most or all) of the alleged sightings are mere hoaxes, as most of the ones that involve car damage don't provide physical or photographic evidence of the car damage. The ones that do could easily be self inflicted or caused by another animal.

Rules

The following are rules and guidelines that users of the *High Strangeness Wiki* are expected to abide by.

## Page Format Guidelines

Pages on this wiki are expected to have detailed information. Please remember that all pages must include an infobox.

Users on this wiki are not to write "One-line" articles. These are articles that only include a few sentences and maybe an image (typically with no infobox). We ask that users do not do not stoop to this form of low-quality. If a user creates multiple pages such as this, then they may face punishment.

## Content Guidelines

 **Pages that are created *MUST* be selected from List of Topics That Need Pages.** This wiki will not tolerate any self-made content or OCs (own creations) to be written on this wiki.

If it wasn't already obvious, users are not allowed to add false information to pages. If your claim seems obscure, please remember to add sourcing to back it.

We will not tolerate any "troll" pages on this wiki. If a user creates a page along the lines of an ironic parody of the content of this wiki, then they will immediately be banned.

Please do not suggest or add pages based on blatantly mythological topics like youkai, Greek/Egyptian mythology, ESP, creepypastas, witchcraft, astrology, or conspiracy theories. There are no doubt exceptions to these content limitations on a case by case basis, such as La Llorona, but this is rare and should be discussed with an admin. Try to only suggest topics that have actual reported sightings.

## Adding Templates

Users are NEVER to add templates without an administrators permission. This includes infoboxes, navigation boxes, etc.

## Administration Policy

If users respect administrators, then they will certainly receive our respect in return. While us administrators are not tyrants, we will not tolerate any disrespectful behavior towards us or anyone else.

Little One

## Overview and Evidence

The **Little One** was a small bizarre entity allegedly witnessed by one Peter Pretrisko and his girlfriend Becky while night-driving down a long rural highway towards Prescott, Arizona. While stopping on a dirt shoulder on the side of the road to let their radiator cool down, the two witnesses noticed a small eerie figure standing in front of a short wall that ran parallel to the other side of the road and watching them. After retreating behind the wall for several seconds, having apparently realizing it had been noticed, the entity hoisted itself over the wall and began sprinting towards the car. Peter was finally able to start the car and sped off, prompting the figure to turn and walk away, all the while still watching them with its head turned 180 degrees.

The entity was described by the two witnesses as a small, white, and translucent. It stood just shy of three feet in height and had a slightly chubby frame with a skin texture Peter described as being like that of roiling water. The creature possessed small empty eye sockets and a wide grin filled with small conical teeth. The creature was incredibly flexible as the witnesses described it being capable of rotating its head 180 degrees.

The veracity of the story is difficult to determine. The only known source for the tale is a video by the YouTube channel "One Candle Society", and the story was submitted by Peter as a private message (meaning the video itself doesn't link any sources). Peter's story, as it is told in the video, doesn't specify which highway the incident took place on, nor does it specify the general time period or even a year. The lack of concrete details on the when and where potentially make the account highly dubious.

If you find a user breaking guidelines, then please report them to an administrator. We strongly encourage you to not take matters into your own hands, as you might get caught up in punishment yourself.
Man Dragon

## Overview and Evidence

The **Man Dragon** was a flying humanoid entity reportedly sighted several times in early January of 1926. One of the more obscure flying humanoids on record, the Man Dragon, like its West Virginian counterpart Mothman, has occasionally been blamed for a natural disaster, specifically the January 19, 1926 collapse of a dam known as the Xiaon Te Dam that allegedly killed over 15,000 people.

Reports of the creature's physical appearance are near impossible to find, but the few details that exist paint a picture of a humanoid entity with enormous wings, similar to other winged humanoids.

The evidence for the Man Dragon's existence is near nonexistent. No photographs of the creature exist and only a handful of online sources appear to exist, with most of them simply referencing each other. Thus, the original source of the claims is unknown. In addition, online searches for a 1926 dam collapse in southeastern China bring up no real results that match; most of the online sources mentioning the Man Dragon neglect to mention exactly where in China the dam is supposed to be located, making further in-depth research nearly impossible. Due to this, it is likely that the Man Dragon is merely a hoax.

Martebo Light

## Overview and Evidence

The **Martebo Light**, also known as the **Marteboljuset**, is an atmospheric 'ghost light' occasionally reported within the Martebo bogland in Gotland, Sweden. Most sources claim that the legends have existed for over 100 years, but the earliest known report was made in March of 1922.

According to eyewitnesses, the light is rather large and floats several meters off the ground. Some describe it as flickering like a flame while others claim it is a solid ball of light.

Unlike most anomalous lights, the Martebo Light actually has an accompanying narrative. According to the legends, a man named Knut Stare was alone at his home in Knutstorp with his son when some soldiers stopped to ask for food and shelter. After drinking a few rounds with the men, Stare fell asleep and awoke to find his son and the soldiers missing. According to the legends, the light represent the spirit of Knut Stare searching for his missing son.

Skeptics, on the other hand, generally conclude that the lights are simply produced by other known sources, such as flashlights or cars on the nearby stretch of road. Several experiments performed by the organization UFO-Sweden have even demonstrated that groups of test subjects have even mistaken intentionally placed car headlights as the ghost light(s). Other explanations include ball lightning and swamp gas, a particularly likely explanation due to Martebo being a bog.

## Alleged Sightings

### First-Person Accounts

* Ingemar Flodin

At 6 p.m.November 9, 1993, my future partner Barbro Leion came and told me that our neighbor Britta Jacobsson asked her if she wanted to come with her in the car to go out and see something strange that happened at Martebomyr. She had also wondered if I also wanted to come and watch. I denied this, I agree several times before heard of this and did not place any faith in the information. After about an hour and a half, Barbro returned and talked about the strange phenomenon she had seen, and persuaded me that we should go there in our car, so that I too would be convinced of what she had seen. When we had driven down the narrow forest road, which after a few kilometers ended at Martebomyr, we stopped the car and turned off the car light. We were then about 300 meters from the main road to Stenkyrka. Stenkyrkavägen was then behind us where we stood down at our observation point. The car was facing the bog, a few kilometers away. Despite the darkness on the narrow road, you could see the sky a little brighter against the dark forest on both sides.

At one point during the evening, a bright light also suddenly came from the forest, counting from the left driver's seat. Estimated distance 100 meters. Extinguished after four to five seconds. After observing these light phenomena for about an hour and a half, we then turned the car on an exit road and went to our house in Tingstäde. [sic]
