One branch of quirky folklore that most other places don’t have is booger lights. In Florida folk culture, and in some of parts of the rural south, a booger, or a haint, is something unexplained that spooks you, most in the deepest, darkest part of the night. Similar to ghosts, they’re even more amorphous.
And, like ghosts, boogers are associated with often gruesome stories of car and train accidents, suicides or murders. Even though they seem tied to particular places, boogers tend to appear at very irregular intervals.
A booger light is what people in other parts of the country call ghost lights or witch lights.
