These ghost lights—variously called jack-o'-lanterns, hinkypunks, hobby lanterns, corpse candles, fairy lights, will-o'-the-wisps, and fool's fire—are created when gases from decomposing plant matter ignite as they come into contact with electricity or heat or as they oxidize.

这些幽灵灯— — 各种称为南瓜灯、 兴基朋克、 爱好灯笼、童话灯、 鬼火和愚人之火— — 是当分解植物物质的气体在进入时点燃时产生的与电或热接触或氧化。
