A remote Kentucky well east of Crab Orchard draws hundreds as locals describe a flaming, drinkable water that sprang to life when a match was dropped into poured water. The well, about fifteen feet deep, shows no mineral odor yet burns like gunpowder when exposed to flame. Excursionists reported the phenomenon after a bystander lit a cigarette near the water, and officials note its peculiar, combustible nature without nearby mineral deposits.
