The Brown Mountain Lights

Something strange has been happening on Brown Mountain and it’s been going on for centuries now. In the 1770s, surveyors of the area noted ‘some kind of luminous vapor’ was seen rising from the mountains frequently.

This phenomenon, whatever its source, is seen so consistently that, naturally, a variety of Urban legends have formed around them and the mountains they hover over.

While a few strange reports continued on into the 1800s (one of which we will examine in a moment) in the early 1900s it became a fairly common subject of discussions for newspapers of the area.

A prime example of this comes from a US Forestry officer, who spent several decades deployed on the mountain and the surrounding area. His account is extremely credible as he knows the trails, roads, and structures around the mountain by heart, and wouldn’t be deceived by the simple light phenomena that are often attributed as explanations. Of his experience he had this to say:
