One time, I went camping with my classmates in the mountain which are located in a village.

We arrived in a nearby village. Then, we proceeded on foot to the mountains for approximately 8 hours to reach the camp point. During the climb, one of my friends felt that his body was weakening. We soon reached camp just before sundown. We immediately put up a tent to rest.

Two of my friends and I went outside looking for clean water. Then, we rushed to find the spring The atmosphere was getting dark, cold, and the area was quiet. Before we got to the tent, we saw a group of firefly like animals on top of our tent.

The phenomenon was beautiful. We immediately took photos for a moment. Oddly enough, my friend who wasn't feeling well had a high fever all night. He was shivering and sweating a lot. So, we took turns guarding him that night

The next day, my friend's condition began to recover a little. So, we went back to the village. When I arrived at the village, my friend looked fresh, healthy like nothing had happened. This certainly made us confused.

The villagers asked "Have you seen a bunch of fireflies?". I said yes. "Go back to the city and do not come back to the mountains," shouted the villagers. My friends and I was confused and decided to leave the village immediately.

On the way home, I checked my cell phone out of curiosity about what the villagers were saying. When I saw the photo, I was surprised because what I saw was a strange creature that was very bright. I told this to another friend and they were all shocked. After seeing this we promised not to return to that mountain.
