Once when exchanging "creepy" stories with a friend, he related this story:

"I was in my room watching the movie Terminator on my tv in my room. When the movie was over, I turned the tv off and sat on my bed and began to read. Moments later, the television started making a very loud crackling sound. The screen was glowing red and tendrils of what looked like electricity were jumping out and then returning to the screen. A blue body of electricity was beginning to form in front of the screen. A short amount of time passed and the ball moved outwards from the screen to the center of the room where it stood still for about 2 seconds, and then disbursed to all four corners of the room."

When I heard this I thought this sounded a lot like ball lightning, but I have never seen it and there is very little written about it. Does anybody know anything about ball lightning, or has anyone had a similar experience?
