In the foggy, mystical corners of the English and Celtic countryside, the will-o'-the-wisp dances—a flickering, ghostly light that leads the curious astray. Is it a spirit, a trickster, or something far stranger? From hinkypunks in England to Stingy Jack's cursed lantern in Ireland, the stories vary, but the outcome is the same: those who follow the wisp often disappear into the wilds, never to be seen again. Is it malice, mischief, or something more sinister? Or does the light simply beckon those willing to stray from the safety of the known?
