Ep 22 | Will-o-the-wisps & Peg-A’-Lanterns
Kimmy Hammons • Aloreing Podcast Episode • 4/27/2022
Hey Campers, we got a delightful tale for you this week that will explain the mysterious orbs floating around the campgrounds. Both Kimmy and Ryan will be discussing the mischievous will-o-the-wisp. This paranormal phenomenon has found its way in many different legends and lore around the world. We will be discussing how wishy washy their personalities are, literature’s love for these mysterious entities, and how the Tim Allen Santa Clause movie sneaks its way into this episode. Oh and remember campers, peg-a-lanterns with consent and if a will–o-the-wisp has a 5th leg, don’t follow it.
