A John Brown is when you go to Harpers Ferry and jump in the water were the Shenendoah and the Potomic rivers meet each other. Swim out to the center of this intersection and take off all your clothes. Next, you jump out of the water and yell, "JOHN BROWN!" thus exposing yourself to the three states of Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia all at the same time.
