dan and phil doing a video ghost hunting the lantern men of wicken fen was a jumpscare because last year at uni my best friend co-wrote and made a short film about the lantern men except they were androgynous and hated their jobs -- one (zorgorb the terrible) fancied another one (geff), and the third (tarquin bartholomew III) attempted to play wonderwall against a tree

they were the lantern them

LANTERN MEN

A lantern man is an atmospheric ghost light or will-o'-the-wisp, in the folklore of The Fens of East Anglia, seen around Wicken Fen and other areas. According to the stories, the lights, believed to be evil spirits trying to draw victims to their death in the reed beds, were drawn to the sound of whistling and could be evaded by laying face down on the ground with your mouth in the mud. The phenomenon is now dismissed as the result of combustible marsh gas.
