Things that might glow in the dark

I jog on the beach in front of my apartment. Sometimes my footprints glow in the dark, though only briefly. I haven't found anyone knowledgeable enough to explain what's going on. And Marvin Gaye's dead.

Bilby, visit this page and find the "My husband told me" question.

Thanks Pro! That's exactly the conditions here, i.e. damp sand, receding tide. Yep yep, all makes sense.

I'm relieved that I haven't been imagining it. I do enough of that already :-(((((((((

Hey! Duct tape?? I clicked Pro's link and found this:

Did you know that duct tape also causes light? It is caused by the breaking of the glue bonds, and you can see it if you pull a piece off the roll in a dark room. (The light is pretty dim). Look right where the tape joins the roll, on the sticky side.

Cats' eyes! And dogs', I guess. :-)
