Ridge in North Carolina, United States
Brown Mountain[1] is a low-lying ridge, approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) long, in the Pisgah National Forest near Morganton, in western North Carolina,[2] on the border of Burke and Caldwell Counties.[3][4]
Since at least the early 20th century, mysterious illuminations known as the Brown Mountain lights have been seen there.[5]
