All right, I need to clear the air on something.

Just because I live and breathe true crime docks does not mean your girl can't let loose.

In fact, I actually might need to blow off steam more than your average working mom.

Mostly because of all the heavy stuff that I research on a day-to-day basis.

So, all to say,

I love a good party, food, music, dancing, drinks, getting dressed up. I live for it,

especially when it's celebrating some old tradition, especially if that tradition is supernatural.

Like you guys, I love Halloween.

So when I heard about this festival in Thailand,

I was like, Rasha, Yvette, pack your bags,

we need to book tickets immediately.

It's called the Naga Fireball Festival.

It happens every year in October along the banks of the Mekong River.

There's costumes, dance performances, boat parades.

But it all culminates in one baffling event.

Hundreds of glowing red fireballs rise from the river and drift off into the skies.

The best part is, and this is the part I'm obsessed with, no one knows what the heck causes them.

Some say it's a bizarre fluke of nature, one we have yet to fully understand,

but others say there is something more supernatural going on, like it might be evidence of a giant serpent living in the waters. I'm Ashley Flowers, and we're back again for another episode of So Supernatural.

Music When you cover enough stories about the supernatural, you start to notice some patterns,

like how a lot of the time the strange event will happen behind closed doors with very few witnesses, and nobody ever manages to get a photo or a video

making the story impossible to verify. But today's case is the exact opposite of that.
