Origins of the Dead Marshes

[Ophelia]

I haven't heard of any bodys in marshes in the folk tales of my country but there is a legend of little lights - if you follow them they take you deep into a bog and there you find you'r doom . I could say that that is exactly what the dead candles do . They are called vadātājs in my native language but in English something like the misguider . So , if you follow the lights you lighten up you'r own light ... For hundreds of years people of old have been afraid of going trough a forest or field at nights for not to fall into the temptation of the lights . I can do a research on this one if you like but so far that is the main I could say .
