Summerville, South Carolina , has been haunted by mysterious "ghost lanterns" for decades .

The floating orbs are small, glowing spheres, often in blue or green, seen floating above an old railway line.

Seismic activity would also explain many other "paranormal" activities reported in the area.

A seismologist for the U.S. Geological Survey has concluded the phenomenon may be linked to earthquakes.
