The Green Eyes Festival is a cryptid and fall festival that honors the folklore and culture of Northwest Georgia/Southeast Tennessee located in Chickamauga, a beautiful small town in Northwest Georgia famed for its southern charm, friendly locals, and scenic sights.
who is ole green eyes?
Ole Green Eyes is a mysterious local legend rooted in the lore of Chickamauga, Georgia. Unlike many cryptids with established backstories, Green Eyes exists in a space shaped by oral tradition and personal encounters.
Some say it's a ghostly soldier wandering the battlefield, others describe a heartbroken woman or even an elemental fey. The legend’s ambiguity is part of what makes it so compelling—each sighting adds a new layer to the myth.
In short, Ole Green Eyes is more than just a spooky figure. It’s a symbol of Chickamauga’s storytelling tradition, creative spirit, and cultural revival.
