Delve into the legend of Phi Khamot

Phi Khamot delves into the legend of the "ghost of Khmod," an illusory light in a deserted field.

Unlike other types of ghosts, the demon is not a concrete body, but a "mysterious light" that appears at night in a wide open space.

1. Physical characteristics (or "meteors" of the spirit world?)

Glow lights: The ghost of Bod appears as a "round light" floating in the air, ranging in size from the same as a ping pong ball to the same as a human head.

Color of light: Often green, blue, yellow, or soft white, not with a shan red like a ferocious ghost.

Movement: Not flying with wings like a hubris, or floating with magic energy like a flutter / ghost speaker, but "floating with the wind" or "darting forward" at intervals at unpredictable speeds.

2. Residence and appearance time

Marshlands, fields, scrublands: Bmod ghosts often appear in "wilderness areas" or "damp areas," such as fields, swamps, old cemeteries, or areas where land is fertile and rotting carrion vegetation remains are deposited.

Night: Only at night, especially dark nights where the sky is starless.

3.Purpose and behavior: Illusory lights

The main goal of the ghost is to "lure the lost." If someone sees this light and continues to follow it, they will often find themselves walking in the same place, or walking into dangerous places, such as cluttered forests, deep swamps.

Not to hurt directly: The ghost bmod does not have a fierce habit of coming in directly to harm people physically, but to scare and afflict people from getting lost.

Some beliefs say that if a ghost approaches us to use a verbal "damn" or "challenge," such as "go away" or "you are good at following me," the light will often go out and disappear.

4. Origin and scientific belief (will-o '-the-wisp)

Ancient beliefs: Ancients believed that the demon was a "dead spirit" that still circled the world, or a spirit from an animal that died in the area and wanted to seduce people.

Scientific explanation: At present, the demon is often described with a natural phenomenon called "Will-o '-the-wisp" or "Ignis Fatuus" (Latin for "stupid fire"), which is believed to be caused by: methane gas (Methane): caused by the rot of carrion vegetation in waterlogged or humid areas.

Phosphine gas (Phosphine): This gas can self-ignite when exposed to air.

When these gases rise at night and come into contact with oxygen in the air, there is a glow like a light, misleading people as ghosts.

5. Prevention and cope

Don't Follow: If you see a mysterious light in a lonely place, set your mind and don't follow it.

Stay with the Group: If hanging around in a lonely place, a friend should be accompanied by a spell / sacred thing: someone may carry a talisman, or pray in their heart for protection.
