Brown Mountain Lights

Located in the Pisgah National Forest (North Carolina), Brown Mountain, has become a LEGENDARY site for Ufologists, as well as UFO enthusiast. With thousands of witnesses over the years, reporting similar stories of strange lights hovering over Brown Mountain, it’s no wonder the location has gained world wide attention.


Witnesses all seem to report a very similar experience - seeing ultra bright lights floating in, out, and around the mountian, before ascending off into the skies above.


Accounts of the mystery even date back as early as a 1906 novel by Jules Verne, “Master of the World”, and has made its way into culturally iconic sci-fi. In an episode of X-Files, “Field Trip”, hikers went missing on Brown Mountain, and Mulder (main character) believed it was a ufo abduction.

The only government opinion was In 1913, when US geological reports stated that the lights were “a combination of automobile and locomotive headlights...” As the official explanation, but then the theory was quickly criticized after a hurricane flooded the area - (killing around 50 people), the flood halted all transportation in the area, and without any working electricity anywhere, the mystery lights continued to shine brigh.


Native Americans in the region have told stories of the lights as part of tribal traditions. They believe the lights are the spirits of maidens, of Cherokee and Catawba warriors, still searching for their men, who died in the great battle between the two indigenous tribes.
