Great article and with sources provided (I am taking notes). Just one clarification - the Brown Mountain Lights are not caused by ghosts, but by alien spacecraft. :)
Thank you! I was inspired by the video sent to me and figured it would make a fun article with Halloween right around the corner. There are a lot of sources that state different theories for the brown mountain lights, I've always heard it was lost souls wandering the ridge with lanterns. I am intrigued by all of the theories, and will definitely look into the alien spacecraft! Thank you for another theory :)
Well stated, except for Roy Cooper. I see him as a wolf in sheep's clothing. The " Democratic Socialists " are attempting to high jack the Democratic Party. They have used an established political party to promote an agenda that would have never been accepted on it's own.
Thank you sir. I do respect our disagreement on Roy Cooper. :) Even if I did not want to vote for Mr. Cooper (which I did yesterday - great job Lincoln County Board of Elections!) , I would have felt obligated to do so. My son got a selfie with Roy Cooper when Mr. Cooper visited his college earlier this year. Have a great day Randy! Thanks for reading. E
I wrote an earlier column here on the ghost that was quite interesting who made her presence known quite often; in the house I grew up in. The footsteps of Miss Howard. I believe they do exist.
This isn't just an abstract policy failure for me; it is a painful reality I witness firsthand. I watch a close family member struggle daily, courageously raising two grandkids completely by themselves because of this exact judicial insanity. The system's inability to break the cycle leaves families to pick up the shattered pieces. Short-term jail sentences act as a temporary stop sign, but they completely fail to build a roadmap for long-term behavioral change. When the justice system relies exclusively on the blunt instrument of time-served punishment, it treats the symptom while leaving the root cause entirely untouched. True public safety demands that we replace the revolving door with a framework that pairs swift accountability with mandatory structural correction, such as intensive work programs. Continuing to cycle individuals through the same broken pipeline while expecting communities and families to be safe is not working, period.
