It goes to show that story's need to be written or documented even if they sound far fetched thease story's existed for a reason. My grandmother tells me story's about how her family was rich and was similar to the great Gatsby but on a smaller scale. How they built a town that slowly became a location to envy. How there were times that the family has problems and the downfall of their miniature empire built on the coast of California. That town exists to this day and is a beautiful location. Apparently it was even more beautiful back in the 1940s. Tho no one else would know thease story's other then me. Because she doesn't trust anyone else in our family. I've documented our conversations because family history is important no matter how bad or boring it may be. We all effected each other in some small way. Its good to build a family history book. That way when your on your way out and you have grandkids that allready have their own kids they can have somthing to look back on and see how far they have come as a generation. Wether it was build on an unstable foundation and is now a successful stable foundation or if its just beginning and the foundation is being built up. Its good for the next generation of that line to see what they can look back on. The old knowledge within family's that may be lost forever if not documented or told. My grandpa was a trucker a real deisel mechanic knew his way around an engine and could tell you why it works and how without having to look anything up. I wished I could pic his brain for his knowledge he holds. I only got one chance to ask him how an engine works. And when he started talking about an engine I cod feel his compasion for what he loves to do. Its because of my grandparents that I enjoy working on cars and want to become a civil engineer. Due to my grandpa and my grandma. They both ended up helping figure out what I want to do. This is why it's nessesary for us to connect with old knowledge that our family's hold. If your unfortunate and don't know or have anyone. Then it's clear that you need to be the one to set up that foundation. Or not its up to you. Our foundation has since deteriorated. My family's generation needs to rebuild that foundation. I've dedicated my life to maintaining it and makeing sure it doesn't go into disrepair. I feel like documenting my life and what I've accomplished along with my family's lives in the library will help aid in future generations and ensure that they have somthing to remember and give their lives more meaning then just being born and knowing there immediate family only.

As another North Carolina native- I'm not from Appalachia proper, but I'm from nearby, and I spent many many nights walking the AT or driving on the blue ridge parkway with my dad- I'd LOVE to see you talk about some of the odd stories about deer that aren't quite right in the area. Since chronic wasting disease is a problem in the area, I've always heard stories from other hikers or locals about unnatural deer that stumble on two legs or stare at you and click, just, weird weird stuff! It's something I've seen a lot of anecdotal attributions to potentially historically influencing native culture and, specifically, perceptions of the Wendigo, but I've not really seen any big time discussion from it! Seems like a great topic for a local with the name "Wendigoon" hehe. chronic wasting disease is so scary, so the phenomenon of creepy unnatural deer in the appalachian area is really frightening even to total skeptics who dont believe in an inch of the paranormal. Creepiest thing I ever saw hiking in Appalachia was deep in the woods once, hiking down a mountain spiral, so I could see the lower part of the trail below me through the trees. It was pretty late in autumn so there weren't too many leaves left, and down on the path a bit of a ways away i saw a deer just standing there staring into the middle distance, and I was like oh, cool! a deer! so I stood waiting for my dad to catch up, but it was standing so still for so long it started to feel... off. prickles on the back of your neck, you know? when my dad catches up with me he asks what I'm looking at and looks down at it, and my dad IS from appalachia proper, so he looks alarmed and hes like oh no, absolutely not, so he puffs up his chest and YELLS at it, to scare it off. instead of bolting, it swivels its head straight back at us and screams back. it was a really unsettling noise to hear from a deer, not one I thought they could make, and then it did, thank god, take off into the woods. freaky as hell though!

The next morning everyone was laughing at me and my dad pointed out the newborn pony off in the distance with the herd and was like "look what you missed."

One thing that often goes unmentioned about the lights is that they aren’t strictly limited to Brown Mountain. It’s a long story, but I myself became interested in the lights when I lived in Asheville. My half-Cherokee girlfriend at the time told me about a lesser known spot that also featured these lights. One night we made a trip together to the spot, and I’ll be damned if we didn’t get lucky and see them. As anyone else that’s seen them can attest, you can’t possibly confuse them for headlights, campfire lights, or anything else. They float, and bob, and move. They change color, grow dimmer or grow brighter, disappear, and can re-appear. For about thirty minutes we watched this before they disappeared, but it was mesmerizing to say the least. I can’t remember the exact spot, but it was a roadside overlook right around the southern border of the Cherokee reservation, facing Pisgah National Forest.

I used to live around Asheville too! It's weird because I never heard of the lights while I lived there, but I'm a night owl who likes wandering around at night. Hearing how others describe the lights made me realize I've seen them too. I didn't think much of them at the time, figuring they were probably from something manmade, but I always found it odd how they bobbed around, changed colors, and got brighter and dimmer the longer I watched. I always spotted them around a certain area over the mountains. It weren't very far from Pisgah National Forest, though.

Bless him! *For these three are one.* As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him. Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding.

I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God! Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.

I'm Scottish and have never left the UK but they remind me of stories my granny used to tell me about wisps and spirits. I know wisps have a scientific explanation but as a child they were the most incredible thing. I didn't see my granny much, problly 5 maybe 6 times in my entire life (she really didn't get along with my mum) but she used to call me and I'd sit and listen to her stories on the phone for hours. Stories of wisps and sea monsters and our history. I love the way you tell stories it really does remind me of sitting round the campfire telling ghost stories

This reminds me of when I was around 10 years old me and group of my friends saw this small, golf ball sized, dim, blue orb only like 30 feet ahead of us in the woods in my old backyard in Elkton, MD. It drifted around randomly at around a walking pace for a few seconds and then flickered out. I remember desperately trying to see a person the light was attached to, but there was no one. We all stood stunned for a moment, then we all heard this crazy shriek echo through the woods. Still have never seen or heard anything like this since, and when I reconnected with them recently I asked them about this to see if it was just a dream I had or something, but they all remembered it and still don't have an idea. Still easily the strangest thing I have ever experienced.

I was lucky enough to witness this phenomenon in person. My dad and I hiked up table rock with the intention to camp overnight. My father was a very open minded man, yielding popular facts and data for that of the unknown and unexplained. He’s partially the reason I’m into these crazy happenings. We brought a telescope with us, it was so cool to be able to look down into the valleys and see roads. At night, our telescope was put to its real purpose. The brown mountain lights are nothing like I’ve ever seen before, these slowly pulsating globes, appearing to be made up of tiny little green/ yellow radioactive particles. They floated upwards very leisurely, before slowly descending and evaporating, almost. It was an amazing experience, braving the cold and windy heights of table rock, choking down cold packs of tuna for dinner. They were heated on the campfire, but turned cold before it even touched your tongue. I hope this memory sticks with me forever. Shout out to my WNC locals, btw. This place is ripe with ancient stories of cryptids and unexplained happenings.

Personal story here. Went camping with a group of friends for a long weekend and took Pinch-In-Trail down to the bottom. On our first night there I had sleep paralysis. An experience I have never had - nor had ever since almost 20 years ago. Had all of the hall marks of the being holding me down (as a former paratrooper in the 82nd this was extremely scary as I could not "fight back" as much as I wanted to), hulking brooding "presence" etc. When I woke up in the morning more appropriatly move again everyone in our group had the same experience. Just sticks out as one of those weird things that I will never forget. My father-in-law used to go camping and hiking down there all of the time and has loads of stories from finding a human skeleton of a hiker who had climbed up a tree and died there, to meeting some real odd ball people hiking in the valley with no food or water, or the time a cougar came into there camp at night an tried to run them off or just the all the "ghosts" he met down there. Its a weird place for sure.

I've been sorta going on a wendigoon binge watching spree and holy shit these videos have absolutely changed my life. I have never had a KZitemr make me cry as often as you. These videos are so near and dear to my heart, it feels like more than informational videos, it feels like genuine story sharing. I started balling my eyes out when wendigoon started talking about these stories becoming a part of a person's soul because it really touched me. Every story wendigoon shares really does become a part of my soul, especially when it comes to the nature related ones. Whether it's this video or "the man who stepped off the earth" these videos have truly changed the way I view life as a whole. I feel as though they've helped me connect with a deeper part of myself and find "home" so to speak. I've started to realize how much comfort and calm nature brings me. Seeing the beauty of the Appalachian mountains, the way nobody has explained these lights and the story of a man who left society to survive out in the wild has left me in awe. I've come to realize just how beautiful life and nature as a whole is and everytime I think about it all, I tear up. You've inspired me to want to spend time in nature more and shared stories with me I never would've heard otherwise. Thank you so much wendigoon, thank you for sharing these stories and allowing them to become a part of my soul as well and helping me find a part of myself I've been searching for my whole life. I have never had a KZitemr make such a massive impact on my life until the past few months I've been watching and you've easily become one of my favorite KZitemrs. I think story telling is one of the most important and beautiful things in all of humanity, you're making a bigger impact than you could possibly ever know. ❤

I'm from the Appalachian Moutains (in TN, not NC though), and I absolutely loved hearing some folklore from the mountains again. It reminded me of my grandparents telling me stories about the local ghost train, exploring places like a cliff area called Lover's Leap as a kid, and the camping stories about shadow people in the forest. I have hope that these stories will be preserved after this video. Thank you. Oh, also, Rugby, Tennessee... haunted. Absolutely an interesting haunted place that isn't talked about really.

A bit late now, but I would absolutely adore another investigatory documentary type video like this, where you consult people in-person. You should consider one day maybe shooting for lore-buffs for Mothman, in WV. If I may say, I would love being able to see these towns, so maybe consider adding a slight Vlog element to it? It would most definitely contribute to the atmosphere, I feel.

Being a North Carolina native my whole life I was always amazed by the Brown Mountain Lights. Me and my GF always take a trip there every year to see the lights. Though it can be eerie up there it is also really calm; the beautiful view is also worth it. I will never forget showing my gf the lights for the first time and her disbelief when we stepped out on the overlook late at night, and sure enough those flashing lights hovered and danced around us. They move at different speeds and some can even just 'float' for periods of time and then zip away rapidly, they even seem to play almost?.. like they chase each other and move about in the trees. All I know is they can sometimes flash red or orange but mostly white, and your odds are better seeing them in the summer (imo). You have no idea how happy I am seeing Wendigoon covering the Brown Mountain Lights as most people don't really know about them. Usually these stories are passed from person to person who have experienced them before.

I really enjoyed this well done program about the mystical Brown Mountain Lights! My late father, who was born 120 years ago in Spartanburg, SC, was a frequent visitor to the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC. He told us children a story about having experienced a close call with the lights. Sometime around 1914 or thereabouts, he was with a relative at their cabin near the gorge. Just at dusk, he was standing near the cabin’s porch when a giant ball of light rolled right past him. I wish I could remember his reaction, but it’s been so long ago the details have faded away. I just know it left me with a feeling of mystery and magic. I’ve subscribed and hope to see more of your stories. Thank you!

The way you spoke about the people you met with being happy to let someone else share their stories, and how meaningful it is to be given a piece of someone in the form of their life experience... that honestly made me a bit emotional. That's really the core of what makes local legends like this so powerful. It's the accumulation of everyday people's experiences and how they inspire awe in the people they get passed down to.

I come from a long line of North Carolinians. I'm well aware of the lights but I've never known much of the folklore. My family simply does not entertain any supernatural phenomena that isn't in the bible, so I didn't grow up hearing this stuff. But now that I can do whatever the hell I want, I love learning about this stuff. These aren't just stories, they are the cultural make-up of this part of the US.

As a Christian who believes in the super natural power of Heaven and the stories in the Bible, I believe that this gorge, specifically Tabletop mountain I believe it's called, may very well be a portal of Heaven. There's a part in the Bible where Jacob is watching Angels go up and down a ladder and it scared him because they were bringing judgements from Heaven, both good and bad. It may very well be that this mountain range might be something similar and those lights may actually be Angelic beings going about their business. There's a lot of stories, myths, and legends that can be explained by the Bible and when one does the research it can explain a lot of the unbelievable stories that man alone has no answer to.

It’s so cool seeing a video on my home. I grew up and remain in Lenoir/Morganton. I pass by Brown Mountain Lookout frequently, and if I happen to pass at night, I always stop to check. I will say, the sun rises directly in front of the overlook and it’s definitely worth viewing. I’ve actually seen the Brown Mountain Lights in one of my social studies textbooks in elementary school, and always thought it was the coolest thing. This is the most accepted (local) story of the Lights that I’ve grown up listening to: When the Natives were gathered and forced to give up their lands on the trail of tears, no one knew these mountains like the Cherokee. This was their land, after all. Many of the Cherokee hid in caves within the mountains of Appalachia, including Brown Mountain, Grandfather Mountain, Table Rock, Black Mountain, and more (all these are peaks of adjoining mountaintops). When the White Men came, some of the Cherokee befriended the “settlers” (or as we often call our ancestors, “thieves”), and thus accepted the foreign cultures and married and joined the new society. Because of this, the vast majority of the people in this area are descended from the Cherokee, and quite proud of it. However, some of the Cherokee were not so fortunate. Many hid in caves within the mountains, and were never able to leave. With more than half the tribe off to Oklahoma, the ones that managed to stay behind were separated from many of their loved ones, leaders, and culture. Many of the Cherokee ended up dying in the caves. It is said that the lights are the lost souls of the Cherokee, still searching for their tribe. Never able to rest because of the destruction of their home. The Cherokee are one of the tribes that believe the Earth holds souls/spirits. With the chopping of trees, creation of roads and towns, and more industrialization, many of the spirits can never rest because of the despair for their people, land, and livelihoods. It is also mostly accepted that the is the believed folklore, but the lights are some gas phenomenon that we simply don’t have an explanation for. But like many things in life, some things are simply meant to remain mysteries. Thanks Wendigoon for covering something so close to home and a beautiful piece of history and scenery🩷
