True Stories



July 1985
At approximately 1 am, Craig, and two others were traveling on Traphill Road and as their car made a right turn onto Billings Hill Ch. Rd., Craig notices an odd fog formation drifting north basically in the highway on Traphill Rd. He stopped the car and pointed out the fact that the fog had taken on the shape of three horses with at least one rider slumped over. Instead of laughing at his perception, the others indeed saw the same thing that was quite apparent. Fear gripped everyone and it was decided to drive away. Quickly.
Determination: Natural anomaly

Documentation: None
Summer 1992 Around 10 pm Jamie, Daniel, Craig and Shane are driving south on the Blue Ridge Parkway and notice a light about tree level. They stopped the car and watched the light for several minutes. It was perfectly silent and orange in color. It slowly rose and as it did, it grew in size. It lasted about 3-4 minutes. Though we waited to see another, one did not appear. We began driving again and about 5 miles down the road, we saw another light very similar which behaved the same way, but was not observed as long.
Determination: Signal flare?
Documentation: None
Fall 1997 Daniel, Michelle, Rodney and Sabrina are driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway in the vicinity of mile marker 300. A sudden, brief, but bright blueish-white light illuminated the entire interior of the car for just a split second. The astonished occupants were totally at a loss to explain what had happened. There were no other vehicles or light sources apparent in the area.
Determination: Unknown
