Black Fish Bay in Washington State, spewing water that looked like
blue fire and filling the air with a horrible noise. Organized
alphabetically by state, this volume presents this tale and accounts
of many other bizarre happenings such as ghost trains and alien
visitations. Entries include the original eyewitness and journalistic
accounts whenever possible. In the introduction, independent scholar
Clark discusses the folkloric components of the stories and considers
what they reveal about American society.
