Oct. 17th, 2017 07:43 amI have never seen the lights but Larry has. I asked him if they were really just car headlights and he said no and they are quite eerie to see.

Where to go to see the lights
Brown Mountain is located in the Pisgah National Forest, and there a few nearby overlooks commonly used to observe the lights.
Brown Mountain Overlook, located 20 miles north of Morganton on NC highway 181, 1 mile south of the Barkhouse Picnic Area.
Wiseman's View Overlook can be found 5 miles south of Linville Falls on Kistler Memorial Highway, which is also Old NC 105 and State Road 1238.
Lost Cove Cliffs Overlook, which is found on the Blue Ridge Parkway, at mile-post 310, 2 miles north of the NC highway 181 junction.
The lights are most commonly seen on clear, dry nights in the autumn. Moonless nights can be a boon to visibility. The lights are a relatively rare occurrence, and many people have sat on a car hood late into the evening staring into the darkness and seeing nothing. But it's definitely worth a look.
