One of the local and obscure types of Ignis Fatuus, and, though she has lately been publicized as one of the Cornish piskies, we owe our knowledge of her to Jonathan Couch's History of Polperro. She has, however, the distinction of being invoked in a rhyme: 'Jacky Lantern, Joan the Wad...'. From her tickling habits it seems likely, as Couch claimed, that she was a pisky, and the probability is that, if properly invoked, she and Jacky Lantern would lead travellers aright instead of misleading them.
