Chickamauga battlefield ghosts |
One of the most brutal battles in the American Civil War was fought for
the control of Chattanooga, Tennessee. The main bloodbath of this
battle took place in the Chickamauga battlefield. To make things worse,
the site also witnessed the annihilation of the Georgia Cherokees by
smallpox.
Today an unassuming National Park, the area still carries a trace of these brutal
tragedies: Legend says it is one of the most haunted places in America.
The field is often encompassed by a mysterious fog that disappears as
soon as the visitor exits the area. Eerie lights and ghostly figures
have been seen moving about, and sounds of ancient combat have been
heard.
Perhaps the most frightening entity said to haunt the
area is “Old Green Eyes,” a monstrous figure that stalks a particular
hill. It’s a hairy creature with razor-sharp fangs and piercing eyes
(that are indeed green). No one really knows what Old Green Eyes is.
Some claim it’s a half-man, half-beast that is drawn to the site because
of its murderous history. Others maintain that it’s a tortured specter
whose twin brother was slain in the battle whereas some believe Green
eyes was a soldier whose head was blown off during the battle and now he
wanders looking for his body.
