More on Canneto di Caronia’s mystery fires
Some of you asked me to let you know if I found any more info on the weird happenings in Sicily. Today, girlWolf
left a comment with the following link. Apparently, in the weeks
since I googled for more info a lot of it has surfaced. I was
depending on published news sources instead of searching the web, silly
me.I have not read all of it, yet. There are five pages plus links
to other sites. The author at first seems to have thought the
fires were caused by electrical discharges. Now the prevalent
idea is that this activity is a precursor to volcanic activity.
That last thing makes sense and was my first thought when I read the
Earthweek article in January, since Mt. Etna is very near
Canneto. I’m still not clear on how and why seismic activity
would cause appliances to burst into flame or explode, but I’ll be
reading that site to see if anyone writing there has any ideas.
At the very least, this site is not declaring that it is the work of
the devil or of some human hoaxter, two hypotheses I rejected at the
start.

Supposedly the rocks grinding together create electrical currents which can do weird things for magnetism and lights in the sky. Plus the heating of the rocks.
Considering I’m currently computerless and have to come to Purdue mainly to get online, plus being tired from long job hours, amazing I’m on here as much as I have been. Thanks for stopping by.
This is interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Sounds like they’ve yet to sacrifice the black goat eh?
