What was going on at the Ninigret bonfire?

Yesterday I posted an article about the Ninigret Park New Year's Eve Bonfire that included a spooky-looking photo by Laura Knudsen.

This morning I was going through my still photos, taken in burst mode, and found the one at the left.

Some additional dramatic photos of the flames in the wind can be found below the break.

Frank "Frankie Pallets" Glista should be congratulated for the fantastic job he did assembling the bonfire structure this year. He must have found some sort of "secret sauce" to add to the pile to get the ghostly image we were able to capture. Frank serves the town as Chair of the Economic Improvement Commission, EIC Liaison to the Ad Hoc Beach Structure Committee and Treasurer of the Democratic Town Committee
