Phenomenon of Naga fireballs


Fireballs are observed in a 250-kilometer long Mekong section: approximately from the Ban Muang streams from Vientiane to Bung Kan. Most of them are raised by the Mekong River 500 - 800 m, but there are observed increases from small ponds and rivers as well. These sites may sound exotic and remote for Europeans, but they are populated, filled with houses, streets, schools, and other common traits of civilization.
The phenomenon of fireballs Naga has not been documented very well in previous times. Some say the Wat Luang Temple (Phon Phisai, Wat Pho Luang Phra Sai) contains centuries-old written notes that mention them. There were also occasional case reports from British soldiers in the 1960 - although nothing was quoted. Many local people claim to have seen their lights all their life and their parents and grandparents have done so.
Ghostly fireballs can be seen at different times of the year, but more frequently they are in late October - early November when the long rainy period is over and the Mekong is filled with a lot of fast running water, with mud.
Balls seem to be rising from the water (some skeptics though say it looks more like going up to the Laotian side of the river). They appear in different places, but sometimes some emerge from a single place.

Peter Plogojowitz (Serbian form: Petar Blagojević/Петар Благојевић) was a Serbian peasant believed to have become a vampire after his death and to have killed nine of his fellow villagers. The case was described in the report of Imperial Provisor Frombald, an official of the Austrian administration, who witnessed the exorcism via impalation by stake of Plogojowitz. Peter Plogojowitz lived in a village named Kisilova (Kisiljevo) in the part of Serbia that temporarily passed from Ottoman into Austrian hands after the Treaty of Passarowitz (1718) and was ceded back to the Ottomans with the Treaty of Belgrade (1739). Plogojowitz died in 1725. His death was followed by a spate of other sudden deaths (after very short maladies of about twenty-four hours each). Within eight days, nine persons perished. On their death-beds the victims allegedly claimed to have been throttled by Plogojowitz at night. Plogojowitz's wife stated that he had visited her and asked her for his opanci (...
