Episode 76: The Brown Mountain Lights

Sometimes strange glowing orbs appear around Brown Mountain in North Carolina. Locals call them the Brown Mountain Lights, and no one really knows what they are. Some say they’re spirits or ghosts, some aliens, and others think they’re a quirk of nature. We'll share our ideas and those of the experts on this episode of Unspookable.
