Along the quiet dunes of Cape Henlopen State Park, witnesses have reported a strange glow, low to the ground, pale in color, and appearing where no light should exist.

It doesn’t flicker like a lantern.

It doesn’t guide like a lighthouse.

And those who see it say it feels less like something lost… and more like something waiting.

In this episode of Enigmatic Echoez, we explore the coastal folklore of the Corpse Light—a death-omen legend tied to shipwrecks, unmarked graves, and burials claimed by shifting sand and sea. Through historical context, eyewitness-style accounts, and cross-cultural folklore, we uncover why this light continues to appear and why locals warn against following it.

This isn’t a story about jump scares or haunted houses.

It’s about land that remembers.

And the dead who were never properly laid to rest.
