Deep in the Smoky Mountains, high along the Blue Ridge Parkway, there's a place where the night sky flickers with lights no one can explain. Welcome to the Thomas Divide—an ancient ridgeline steeped in Appalachian beauty and wrapped in paranormal mystery.

For generations, locals and travelers alike have reported strange orbs floating over the treetops, weaving through the valley, and even responding to headlights or voices. Are they spirits of the departed, Cherokee guardians, or something stranger still?

In this episode of Ghosts in the Mountains, we trace the glowing trails of the Thomas Divide ghost lights. We'll dive into eyewitness accounts, explore Cherokee legends that echo through the region, and consider the scientific—and supernatural—explanations for one of the South's lesser-known but most mesmerizing phenomena.
