 * 7) Merge to ghost but add a sentence there to explain that although some thought St. Elmo's Fire were spirits or supernatural omens, it's only a weather phenomenon . Also insert mandatory 1980s Brat Pack joke. Never mind, I did it, so merge away. Leuders (talk) 23:00, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

 * 1) It's a physical phenomen, not a paranormal one.

I've merged the article into the ghost one. Buggered if I know why. There doesn't appear to be any truth in the claim that used to be on the top of the page that St. Elmo's Fire is responsible for more ghost stories than anything else. And a Google search for "St. Elmo's Fire and ghosts" only returned a couple of sites that said that St. Elmo's Fire looked a bit ghostly but didn't say there was any real connection. Oh, well. It's what the mob wants. Spud (talk) 08:36, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
