Keraunography : ウィキペディア英語版 | Keraunography
Keraunography or keranography refers to the belief that lightning, when striking an object (generally a human body), can leave behind markings which constitute a photographic image of surrounding objects. At present, it is generally believed to be a myth. ==Origins== Like most folklore, it is impossible to trace keraunography to any absolute beginning. However, it seems to have attracted scientific and media attention in England in the early 19th century, and by Victorian times the term "keraunography" had been coined to describe the numerous unconnected events. With increasing scientific understanding of electricity, and the popularity of photography, the time was right in the 19th century for keraunography, which seems to combine both concepts, to enter into the public consciousness. However, it is likely that anecdotal accounts of keraunography had existed long before there was a word for it.
