History & Paranormal Activity

Cherokee legend and documented reports since 1771 describe glowing orbs that rise above Brown Mountain in the Blue Ridge foothills. The lights have been investigated by the US Geological Survey twice (1913 and 1922), both studies concluding the lights were real but unexplained. Witnesses describe orbs that split, merge, change color, and respond to sound.
