Places Haunted in Burke County
Brown Mountain is one of the most famous mountains in NC. Located in the Pisgah National Forest in Burke County, it is not the size of the mountain that makes it famous but rather the strange things that happen there at night.
Occasionally, lights can be seen on the mountain shooting up into the air and slowly falling back down until they fade from site. Sometimes they appear so fast and in so many numbers that it's nearly impossible to count them. While sometimes they appear red or blueish in color, the most common color is brown giving them the name of The Brown Mountain Lights.
