Loonboy Posted April 18, 2003 #1 Share Posted April 18, 2003 I think I've asked this before but thought I would give it another try since there are a few new members here, and I can't remember what the original answers were (I blame the alkeehol)... I once read in a book a story (supposedly true) about a coastal village in which strange lights were seen. These lights were the source of much speculation and eventually a female figure based a cult upon them and had many followers from the local community. I could be wrong but I thought the location was Wales and the name of the village was something like 'Elgin' but not. Any ideas anyone? I know I read it somewhere, but can't find anything on it. Any help would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted April 18, 2003 #2 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Is it the Egryn Lights and the woman Mary Jones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magikman Posted April 19, 2003 #4 Share Posted April 19, 2003 This SITE offers a detailed and rather lengthy account. It didn't really have anything to do with a cult, the phenomena occured in relation to a 'Welsh Methodists revival' movement at the time. The lights supposedly were 'manifested' or at least attributed to Mary Jones while she conducted her revivals. By many accounts the phenomena was quite ambiguous, as the 'lights' were not always visible to everyone. Yet an aura of mystery still lingers as to their origin and meaning.

Loonboy Posted April 19, 2003 Author #5 Share Posted April 19, 2003 Thanks Magik. A considerably longer report on the phenomenon. However, my knighthood speech has now reached saturation point. I'll have to put you on my christmas card list instead. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
