In the Netherlands, there is a little weird folkslore that is called: Dwaallichtjes/ Wanderlights.
The Wanderlights are the souls of the children whom drowned in the swamps. You are said to be able to see their little souls wander through the night air. You’ll get the urge to reach out to them, but you’ll never catch them. They will try to lure you into the swamps where you’ll be lost forever.
As children, we are told to never try and reach out to them. Instead we have to tell them to go to the light, where they’ll have peace. Since they are not evil, but lost.
