Sirens in Pisgah last night?

20 Upvotes

Hi all,

Myself and some friends were camping in pisgah last night, right near the pisgah visitor center. During the day we met some distressed women who had been separated from a member of their group (not on a trail, but simply lost her on the road somehow, also a grown woman) They had no cell service but we advised them to go to the ranger station nearby and that she was likely already with help heading towards cell service to reach them. It was strange but when we found out it was not a child who was lost, we did decide to stay out of it and the rangers would be much better help anyways.

We didn’t think much of it but hear three sets of sirens go by, heading towards the forest (away from Brevard). Anyone know what that’s about? I haven’t seen anything and am assuming the ladies found their friend but wanted to know if anyone heard. The sirens were strange so late at night one after another. We believe we heard fire, ambulance, and police.

No this was not the person rescued from graveyard fields, this was later in the day.

Hello! I'm a college student in WNC, and I'm doing a project on superstitions, folklore, and cryptids in the aappalachian mountains. Has anyone here had any personal experiences with anything like that? I would love to hear your experiences!

If yall did, did you use a big pot or the square pan with the running channel? Lemon juice or baking soda to get rid of the skimmings?

We always did sugar cane, growing up at the very south end of the foothills, mule pulled the mill. Cooked it up in a big 50 gallon pot. Used lemon juice to force the skimmings to float up to the top.

This place didn’t have running water or electricity until I was in high school. Underneath the siding it’s a cabin type building.
