Those who choose to hike there are often looking for secrets – and they just might find them. But one of the Barrens’ greatest secrets has nothing to do with the supernatural. The famous Brooksbrae Brick Factory – an old terracotta brick factory – once stood there, but it’s long since fallen into disrepair. And since then, something eerie and remarkable has happened to it.
