When I first started on a new world, there was a giant cliff-wall type thing, and torches were scatter on it.  What does it mean?  They weren't in a cave either just in random spots. 
Does it mean spawer?
I am asking for me and my friend because it happened to him to.  Please reply.

No, Singlepalyer.  My old one

No, Singlepalyer.  My old one got deleted.  And I know they're not from my old file  because I have never been in a valley before.

Sometimes, when a save file

Sometimes, when a save file is deleted and a new world started in that same slot, the level generator goes a bit pear-shaped. I'm guessing that a bunch of torches carried over for some weird reason, and the level generator placed them on that cliff face.

I'm guessing that it is related to the way computers delete data. When something is 'deleted', it isn't actually gone. The computer just allows that section of the disk to be rewritten. If part of a deleted level reads as though it was not deleted, the level generator- being a computer program and, thus, dumb as dirt- just tacks it on.

If he's starting a world up

If he's starting a world up on a machine that has never, ever, had Minecraft on it, then I don't know.

My Save was deleted randomly

My save was deleted randomly and when I started a game on the same world, I found my stuff. All of the stuff I built was there. Everything.
