Fire on the mountain

♫ Fire on the mountain run boys run ♫

Perhaps there should be a sign posted reading “paranormal sites are flammable” as yet another paranormal location burns. In this case, Linville Gorge of North Carolina, the location for the “Brown Mountain Lights”, lost over 2,000 acres. It is believed that a careless camper left his campfire unattended.

Should they find the camper, I propose as punishment that he wear a Smokey the Bear costume while replanting those 2,000 acres. Just an idea.

What are the lights? I don’t know, but I believe that it is a natural phenomena. BTW you can read Joshua P. Warren’s research of the lights at http://www.brownmountainlights.com/. I highly recommend it. You can also check out more on Warren’s work at http://www.joshuapwarren.com/
