"Police investigators in Luxor are at a loss to explain how three houses suddenly caught on fire and burned to the ground. Forensic scientists have intensified efforts to unravel the mystery surrounding a number of night fires that started last week in a cluster of small houses in the village of Al Zeinya Qibli local press have been reporting recently. And the stories are sowing the imaginations and usual conspiracy theories of Egyptians. The fact that most of these houses are generally not equipped with electrical power due to their remoteness from any metropolitan center helps investigators rule out the possibility of an electric short circuit or overload as the cause of the fires. . . . That has left the villagers with the belief that the fires are the workings of jinn, especially when no evidence of sabotage or foul play could be determined. . . . A few years ago the residents of a village in Suhag, a major Upper Egypt province, were shocked to see fires raging on the roofs of their houses, which are usually used to store woods for country ovens or serve as a place for their pigeons’ nesting towers. In this case too, the cause of the fire had remained a riddle that was never resolved, but the only clue to the fires was an eyewitness who had spotted with the naked eye the tail of what he believed to be a meteor which he said darted its way through the sky and landed on one of the roofs. Could meteors then be the ‘jinn’ everyone fears? A discovery in 2004 of the world’s largest crater field in one corner of the Western Desert is likely to shed light on the occurrence of such phenomena that the villagers tend to associate with the supernatural."
