Something Helped Us In The Swamp
I was 12 at the time and my family has a camp on the Tangipahoa River in Louisiana.
The only way you can get to it is by boat.
So it was just my uncle, my cousin, and myself and we were heading back to the boat launch on a Sunday night.
Now the boat we were in didn't have any working lights, so to see where we were going my uncle would occasionally shoot a flare.
We quickly ran out of the flares to shoot as it is around a 2 hour boat ride back to the landing.
So I ended up on the front of the boat holding a regular flare as we were now on a much narrower stretch of river.
To our left in the swamp, 2 large glowing balls appeared.
Then there was another one to the right.
I was just trying to keep the flare from burning me, and my little cousin was freaking out.
After around 10 minutes of them navigating through the swamp, they formed a triangle above us on the river.
It is hard to gauge how far up they were, but it was very visible.
They continued to follow us for the rest of the journey back to the landing, and as soon as we arrived they disappeared.
This all happened around 18 years ago but it is something I will never forget.
I don't talk about this stuff really and usually just keep it to myself.
