Subject: Re: Brown Mtn lights and Brandy's Grandma
My Grandmother told me that at Brown Mountain, North Carolina one can see a "ghost city". Basically, it's a city where the outlines of structures are visible, but the lights are very very clearly "manifested". For example, one sees, in her words, the headlights of the cars as they travel, the stop lights changing, the lights in the office buildings being turned on and off....overall, it's a city!
If I recall correctly, she did describe the area that the city is viewed in as a valley...or a depression in the ground. Cars of people interested to see the city park all around and shut off their lights to view this spectacle....
Some speculate that it's the curvature of the earth that causes this city to be seen. Some think it is a reflection of a city that is somehow manifest in that particular area.
HOpe that helps!
Pax.
