1) http://inamidst.com/wisp/archives - Will-o'-the-Wisp Archives Seventeen transcriptions of old ignis fatuus reports from various sources, mostly 19th century journals. At nearly 20,000 words and growing, there's a great deal of interesting information here. 2) http://inamidst.com/lights/taurus - Lights in the Taurus Mountains Basically just a couple of reports from the Monthly Weather Review of 1900 by Ellsworth Huntington about mountains exchanging balls of lights in modern day Turkey, along with a bit of investigative work to track down the present day location and see how the landscape has changed. 3) http://inamidst.com/lights/hornet - The Hornet Spooklight A brief write-up of the Hornet spooklight, with a decent map of the area, and some other general observations. 4) http://inamidst.com/lights/spooklights - Spooklight Sites in America Quick start to what will most likely turn out to be a bottomless time sink: attempting to enumerate all of the spooklight sites in the United States and Canada, providing information as to whereabouts, names, and links to other information that can be garnered on the web. 5) http://inamidst.com/lights/images - Anomalous Lightform Images All of the images that I use in one place, with a list of licensing information for those who wish to reuse some of the images. Quite nice to be able to see the whole panoply of images all at once. I've also made plenty of minor changes to the site: the style has been completely updated, there are some new images to illustrate these new articles, the navigation has been improved, and I've changed some of the text of the existing articles; the St. Elmo's Fire page has a couple of significantly large transcriptions on it, for example. I've also put up some better group archives at http://inamidst.com/lights/group/ with a nice Javascript-filterable list of messages for easy searching. Hopefully that should make posts easier to find on Google &c. You can check out http://inamidst.com/changes/ for a list of the diffs and so forth. If you have any comments on the new layout or content, I'd love to hear it. Thanks, -- Sean B. Palmer http://inamidst.com/lights/
