If you're a fan of the TV series Lost, then you're probably familiar with "the smoke monster," the strange power that manifests itself in odd sounds heard moving through the jungle; is seen moving through the woods knocking down trees along the way; and experienced in close encounters as a weird polymorphic black smoke, capable of lifting people up in the air and smashing them to their deaths. People walking through the jungle are often surrounded by the sounds of whispering voices, or experience mysterious encounters with persons living and dead, as well as insects and animals.

Although the TV series ended recently, leaving many unexplained threads dangling for fans to debate for years to come, the mysteries left behind by the writers of Lost are an odd mixture of weirdness from science fiction and speculative physics, with core elements of the supernatural.

All in all, it sounds not too far removed from reports of the strange phenomena alleged to take place at Bob Bigelow's haunted ranch in Utah.
