In a dinner conversation with my brother & parents the other night, they mentioned being witness to "dlaab ntaws tsaus" back in Laos. (I believe that's how you spell it.) I was curious to what it was, because it was the first I've ever heard of it.
From what my mom was explaining, it was a series of unexplained lights / torches that was usually seen in the near distance on the surrounding mountain sides. My mother was saying that it usually begins with one light appearing, then more and more will flicker on across the spectrum of the mountain side, and then return to the original location where the first light was spotted.
My brother (mid 30's) claims to have seen and remember it as well. Both my parents confirm it exists, and confirm that their parents before them have seen it.
It's probably something that hasn't been documented by western society (I haven't researched it, but did come accross the "mekong lights"), but it's pretty intriguing.
Have you guys ever seen or discussed such a thing with your parents, or those who lived in Laos?
