Aleya, Ghost Lights of Bangladesh.

 




                      🔥India's Ghost light's 🔥


Chir batti (ghost-light), also spelled "chhir batti" or "cheer batti", is a dancing light phenomenon occurring on dark nights reported from the Banni grasslands, its seasonal marshy wetlands and the adjoining desert of the marshy salt flats of the Rann of Kutch.

Other sources of ghost-lights appear in folklore across India, including the Kollivay Pey of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, the Kuliyande Choote of Kerala, and many variants from different tribes in Northeast India.

Another  name for the lights is Aleya or marsh ghost-light (they are very similar to a will o the wisp) this phenomena mostly occurres over the marshes of Bengalis, often witnessed by  the fishermen of Bangladesh and West Bengal. 


These lights are usually attributed to some kind of marsh/swamp gas.


Though local legend claim its some kind of apparition that confuse fishermen and makes them lose their bearings, and may even lead to drowning if one decided to follow them moving over the marshes. 


Local communities in the region believe that these strange hovering lights are in fact Ghost-lights representing the ghosts of fisherman who died fishing. Sometimes they confuse the fishermen, and sometimes they help them avoid future dangers.
