Listen "The Weird Lights of Christmas"
Episode Synopsis
Rob and Eamonn from Monster Fuzz stop by to discuss mystery lights and Christmas. An old newspaper article on the history of Christmas candles leads to a story of strange lights in Ireland from 1910, followed by a long discussion of the Egryn lights–a flap of Welsh weirdness from 1904 and 1905. Next, we tackle some Christmastime orbs from Pennsylvania. Finally, we discuss our current weird lights of Christmas–the drone sightings on the East Coast of the U.S.
