2024 SpOnsors


Old Green Eyes is a legendary figure said to haunt the Chickamauga and Chattanooga Military Park (locally called the Chickamauga Battlefield). While the descriptions of Green Eyes vary, the one characteristic that defines this cryptid is its bone-chilling bright green eyes that many claim to have seen peeking through the trees. Have you seen Old Green Eyes?
