Brown Mountain Lights
Once there was a girl who lived on the Brown Mountain with her father. Every night her sweetheart came from the village below to see her, tramping through a forest of snakes and vicious animals. After a time, the two decided that they would soon be married, and set a date for when the two of them would go away together. On the evening when he was to take her away to be married, she lit a pine torch and went out to wait for him. He never came. But still, evening after evening, at sunset, the girl continued to light her torch and roam the mountain looking for him, still waiting for him to come.
Now, many years after the girl's death, people say that the light of her torch can still be seen at night roaming the mountain looking for her lost love.
