The Will o' the Wisp and the Snake by Hermann Hendrich (1854–1931). In folklore, a will-o'-the-wisp, will-o'-wisp, or ignis fatuus (Latin for 'foolish flame'; [1] pl. ignes fatui), is an atmospheric ghost light seen by travellers at night, especially over bogs, swamps or marshes.
The series was written and directed by Nick Spargo and produced by Nicholas Cartoon Films, in association with the BBC and Tellytales Enterprises. The character of Willo the Wisp originated in an award-winning [3] educational animation created by Spargo for British Gas in 1975 [4] and the stories were set in Doyley Woods, a small beech wood in Oxfordshire, near the director's home.
Examples include the onibi, hitodama and will-o'-wisp. They are often seen in humid climates. [1] According to legend, some lights are wandering spirits of the dead, the work of devils or yōkai, or the pranks of fairies. They are feared by some people as a portent of death.
