Mysterious Fire Balls seen in Laurens, Otsego Co., NY
Otsego Journal, January 4, 1894
Several responsible persons say they can see a bright light shining from the ruins where George Brown's house burned last summer, nearly every night from 7 to 11 o'clock. Sometimes it looks like two balls of fire a jumping up and down and sparks fly from them, and then it will shine on the barn, and follow the fence down the road and disappear, and then it will go off across the lots to the woods, and go up and disappear. The neighbors and people from the village have tried to go where it was and it would disappear before they got there. Others have watched in the barn with guns, but it don't come out when they are on the premises. D. Hopkins says he has seen it several nights across the hills from his house. Several loads have been up to Harvey Hands to watch them and all tell the same story and they don't leave any tracks in the snow is the greatest query of the writer. Hope they will solve the mystery soon, for it takes away all of the setters, makes dull evenings in town.
