I know I posted this a long time ago but can't find it now. Anyway, maybe it got lost when Caese was doing some changes.
The Brown Mountain Lights are a series of ghost lights reported near Brown Mountain in North Carolina. Some of the earliest reports came from Cherokee and Catawba Indians, and settlers. The earliest documented account of the lights dates from September 13, 1913, in the Charlotte Daily Observer. A fisherman claimed to have seen “mysterious lights seen just above the horizon every night” red in color, with a pronounced circular shape. Attempts to debunk the lights involve train lights and automobile lights as an explanation, in addition to other phenomena, such a swamp gas. The United States Forest Service has even marked the area with a sign.
The lights have become famous and have been featured on Coast to Coast AM.

In the region where Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas come together witnesses have been encountering a "spook light" phenomenon since at least 1936, but locals claim the sightings go back to 1866. The light looks like a ball of fire, or in some cases an orange ball of light, floating above a gravel road, sometimes moving at high speed. The source of the light or lights is thought to be either swamp gas, ball lightning, ghosts or even a bizarre electrostatic event caused by seismic activity deep in the earth called the piezoelectric effect.
Local lore says that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers investigated the source of the light, which they deny. Most sightings have occurred between 10:00pm and Midnight.
The light is known by many names: Joplin Spook Light, Hornet Spook Light, Devil's Promenade, just to name a few.
