The American Association for the Study of Anomalous Phenomena has established a foundation that will investigate the phenomenon of glow over graves. Recently, such phenomena have been observed more and more often, and in different parts of the globe.
Until recently, they tried to explain them by natural causes, but experiments have not confirmed this … From time immemorial, a strange light phenomenon was associated with ghosts.
So, a mysterious phenomenon has been observed near the town of Asheville (South Carolina) for many years. It received the name "Brown Mountain Lights". Hundreds of people saw the mysterious glow on the side of the mountain. David Mull, who lives a few miles away, has been recording his observations since the 1980s, and has also gathered information about the phenomenon from other eyewitnesses.
In November 2000, a research team led by Joshua Warren captured the phenomenon on video. The survey was conducted around Highway 181 north of Morganton. In the frames taken with the infrared camera, luminous objects of a spherical shape are clearly visible. Here they appear, here they arrange a "dance" around the mountain slope, and then, gathering in an ordered chain, move to the top of the mountain. Very similar to ordinary UFOs …
Meanwhile, David Mull and other observers believe that the spherical lights on the videotape have nothing to do with the descriptions of previous eyewitnesses. According to the testimony of the latter, the phenomenon was simply a patch of flickering light at the foot of the mountain. It was even suggested that Warren's video was nothing more than a fake …
By the way, the Fire of the Brown Mountain is mentioned in the myths of the Cherokee Indians. According to them, this phenomenon has been seen here since time immemorial. The lights are the souls of the warriors who died on the mountain during the battle between the Aboriginal tribes, and now they wander, restless, and cannot find peace … And some legends say that these are torches in the hands of the ghosts of Indian girls grieving for their murdered suitors …
Thanks to these legends, the Lights of Brown Mountain have become an integral part of modern folklore. In the 1960s, a song was written, which is so called - "The Legend of the Brown Mountain Lights." In addition, one of the latest films in the series "The X-Files" is dedicated to the phenomenon.
At Arlington Cemetery in Washington DC, three greenish glow over war graves were recorded three times. At the Fiura family's grave in Augusta, Georgia, USA, one of the gravestones emits a greenish light every night. It always happens at the same time. It turned out that the last of the Fiura family named Josephine, who died in 1899, poisoned her two brothers and sister and committed suicide …

At the Radi cemetery in the city of Tartu (Estonia), the glow was repeatedly observed over the mass grave of Soviet soldiers. The head of the local club of lovers of the unknown, Janis Perkman, saw him with his own eyes. But when the researchers installed the video equipment, the camera did not record anything - there was not enough sensitivity.
Similar phenomena take place in Russia as well. Thus, multiple facts of glow over the graves were recorded at the Malokhtinskoye cemetery in St. Petersburg, founded in the 17th century and closed for burials about 60 years ago. Perhaps the reason is in the sabbaths that Satanists regularly hold here. Strange phenomena are also associated with the grave of actor Alexander Abdulov, who died in January 2008. On the night before the ninth day after his death, a strange waving cloud was captured over the grave mound. And now the mysterious glow can be observed on frosty nights.
At the Igumen Cemetery (Valaam Island), on dark nights, you can observe a radiant light green light that seems to flow from the ground, rising to a small - up to a meter - height. Sometimes he wanders around the cemetery in the form of a light, shapeless spot. For a long time, they tried to explain the phenomenon of glow over the graves by the fact that during the decomposition process phosphorus compounds are released.
However, scientists have proven that the phosphorescent light from the remains cannot penetrate the earth (as a rule, the depth of the graves is at least two meters). Many experiments have been carried out, during which a wooden box with a large amount of phosphorus was buried underground. But above, no glow appeared. So we still have to lean in favor of the irrational version - thus, they say, the dead make themselves felt …
