Deep in the woods of the Chickamauga-Chattanooga National Military Park, a pair of glowing green eyes watches from the darkness. In this episode, we explore the terrifying legend of "Old Green Eyes," a creature that has haunted the Georgia battlefield since the smoke cleared in 1863. From Civil War burial parties to modern-day park ranger sightings, discover why this spectral figure remains one of the most feared hauntings in the American South.
