Crackling Bonfire

The sparkling spirit of a fire dancing in the dark of night is a hypnotizing and often thrilling experience. Taking in the beauty and warmth of man's truest best friend is a holy and ancient pastime regardless of where in the world you come from. Don't waste a minute chatting away about some nonsense that lingers in the air like puff of thin smoke. Realize the depth of your experience and history as a human being and pay homage to the power and gift that is fire. The English term bonfire is attested from the 15th century, as banefire "bone-fire", originally of fires in which the bones of slaughtered animals were burned, allegedly a Gaelic tradition of the celebration of the end of summer. In Great Britain and some Commonwealth countries, bonfires are lit on Guy Fawkes Night a yearly celebration held on the evening of 5 November to mark the failure of the Gunpowder Plot of 5 November 1605, in which a number of Catholic conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, attempted to destroy the House of Lords in London. In Northern Ireland, bonfires are lit on Halloween, October 31. This sound uses the following file from Freesound: http://www.freesound.org/samplesViewSingle.php?id=113510
