I grew up next to this battlefield, I played here as a child, and the sounds you hear after dark will make your skin crawl, and yes Ole Green Eyes is a legend here, . you have to understand the history of this area, in addition to this battle to truly understand how sad this place can be, the numbers of fathers and sons who fought for each side and often fought against each other, is to many to count. there are plenty of unexplained things have been photographed here, and many sounds have been recorded as well. I don't know of not one ranger working here who will not share the legends of Green Eyes, they are all taught the legends and share them with anyone who ask. Mr Laws if you really want to see the real battle field I invite you to come tour it with me. come with lots of film or memory cards good shoes and any recording gear you want, it will open your eyes to the true battle of Chickamauga
Great story my friend. I bet you could tell some really scary stories from your time there. Thanks so much for sharing this. It's a sad, but beautiful place. I have have been there about 5 times over the years. I love the history. I did ask a ranger at the visitor center in the 80's and he denied very bit of it. Thanks again.
Mr. Walker thank you for sharing your experiences. I have been interested in old green eyes for years! I would love to tour the battlefield! God bless,,,, Patricia Gambino Harrington(sorry for the different name, but I post on my hubby Frank's acct
My parents built a cabin in the Sierra Nevada mountains when I was a child, so we spent a lot of time there. I only remember hearing one story about the are, which was about Johnny Appleseed. There happened to be a small grove of apples in the small valley that oucabin overlooked. I would love to visit the Appalachians and I love the stories handed down from the original pioneers of the area. I am now 70 yrs old & my fixed income will probably never allow me to do so.

They say apples originate from the region of the world known as khazakstan and were spread across the world and imported here but I would have to say that they were more then likely here for much longer
My Grandpa lives in Mount Vernon, Ohio and Johnny Appleseed actually lived there briefly and planted some apple groves there. 1 still exists today. Contrary to popular belief, Johnny Appleseed was an actual person.
@@andrewstravels2096 , pretty much every story I've ever read or heard portrays Johnny Appleseed as a real person. I was not aware of any knuckle heads that denied his existence. Of course nowadays with so many trying to rewrite history to suit they're agenda, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
I live in Chattanooga, Tennessee and I have heard these stories from my elders when I was a kid. I was mesmerized by them. I used to sit and listen to my elders rather than go outside and play. I just love listening to Donnie Laws. Reminds me of my childhood. I love visiting the park. Haven't been lately but I will, with all the fall colors.
My office was 4.5 miles north of the battlefield. Ole Green Eyes is a popular story among the locals. I agree about the tower if you tune in you will feel a presents. There are stories of people hearing battle drums in the woods but not seeing anyone. Anybody interested in Civil War history should go to the Visitor Center. I would love to take my metal detector there but that's strictly prohibited. I really like your legend stories especially at Halloween. Some folks will say "there's no such thing". Then explain why there's a Holy Spirit if there's not an unholy spirit.
My mother bought a shop next the the food city near the battlefield. 90% of green eyes sighting will be deer eyes reflecting light. But I did catch a photo of a dark shadow figure and multiple family members all smelled gun smoke.Also we are planning to spent the night there.
@@brandoncoins8246 My niece took a very good photo of Green Eyes during sunset. There were no deer. Just disembodied eyes floating above the field by the visitor's center. I've seen my headlights reflection off a monument suddenly morph into floating green eyes and dart towards my car.
Thank you Donnie great story. Being from West Virginia we had Soldiers on both sides. In the beginning, April 1861, of the Civil War West Virginia was part of Virginia and the Confederacy. By June 1863, we split away from Virginia and became part of Union. We had Brothers, Father and Sons fighting against one another. By the way Stonewall Jackson was from Clarksburg, Virginia, present day Clarksburg, West Virginia. I had family members on both sides. Semper Fi
My husband at the time and I took our son here when he was about 2ish years old, as soon as we entered the park and stopped to look at the first monument, my son pointed to the woods and had a very scared/ worried look on his face and told us the man was hurt (his words was "man ouch hurt") my son is almost 11yrs old now and to this day he still talks about the man who he now tells us came out of the woods and was in the tree line, moving towards us, wanting help, but my son said there was something about his face that was very scary.
Chickamauga must be one of the most haunted places in America. Certainly a site of one of the bloodiest battles. Thank you for sharing this old legend, Donnie!💖
It is scary at night. I know ways to get in without being seen. I lived in the area for a short time. Use to go ghost hunting. Made me quit that stuff.
I've been to a few Civil War battlefields, including Chickamauga, and they're all haunted. My mom and I had a personal experience at the Antietem battlefield in Maryland. The hair still stands up on the back of my neck just remembering it. Thanks for another great video, Donnie! I remember there is a monument on the battlefield that looks like cannonballs stacked and it's for the two relatives of Mary Todd Lincoln who were Confederates from Kentucky.
I remember when I was younger, about 20, in 2001, when I was sitting on a bench, near a creek by Wilder Tower, reading my textbook. It wasn't windy, but the pages of the book seem to flip on their own. Suddenly, I heard a moaning sound coming from the ground to the right of me. I got spooked, grabbed my textbook and left the area.
Donnie, thank you so much for sharing this story . id love to meet you someday and just sit on the porch and have coffee and just conversation and stories you could tell. You're such a beautiful soul .
You said it right. What a dream it be to actually get to sit across from Donnie n listen him telling wonderfully interesting stories. I could sit there all day for as long as he has stories to tell. That voice makes the stories come to life!!!
Great video Sir. I could listen to your beautiful Southern Accent all day and night. My husband & I went to the battlefield. There was a moment when I felt overwhelmed and could not move. I told my husband " something terrible happened right here. I can feel it. It is such a soul-stabbing sadness that overcame me. I couldn't move. It was late afternoon, in summer. As sunset was beginning, we finally found the battlefield. He said "no baby, it is here. On this field, there are monuments to the battle. Come over here and look." He stood in the humid, hot air, in the tall grass of the battlefield. I had been overcome by grief at the dividing plot of land and tall pines between the lanes of the road leading to and away from that exact site. There, between the roads, I could feel the sadness wash over me like an ocean wave. I couldn't explain it, but I felt them...all watching me, and telling me ' it happened here". I have never forgotten that afternoon, nor will I ever.
Mr.Laws I was born and raised near Chickamauga Battlefield and still today live a few miles west of it in Ringgold, Ga. Everything you said and described in this video is true about the sights, sounds and feelings that can come over you while in the park. Its a beautiful place that needs to be protected and remembered for those who lost everything during that awful time. Thank you and God Bless You for keeping these memories alive.
Thanks for sharing its amazing and very sad the lost of so many lives. I never heard about this green eye thanks for sharing. Keep up your good work looking forward for more stories that are amazing.
👍🏼👍🏼💯💯💯⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Donnie my wife found your channel and shared with me because she knows I love learning new things . We are both Trail of Tears Descendants. My family settled in Bladenboro , NC and her family ended up on the West Coast in Northern California California. Thank you for Sharing your research for all to learn , because we have been lied to about History.
Grew up around Chattanooga and Chickamauga. Local legends through the years still persist. When I was a child I was told “Green Eyes” was a woman looking for a lost lover on the battlefield. However I’m also told that the Native American legends predate Civil War so very much as you told it could be something from well before America. I greatly enjoy your accent and story telling style. It reminds me of my grandfather and great grandmother. I have spent many years around the battlefield and have had friends I trust tell if strange things. Even toured it nearly all my life and felt some strange presence at points. Some may claim it’s untrue or deer but man don’t know it all and never will. If you ever find yourself in Chattanooga. Stay at the Reed House and take their ghost tour.
Great video!!! I am a huge Civil War buff and I have been to Chickamauga before!!! Its one of my favorite battlefields and I've been to quite a few of them!!! I'm also into the paranormal so this is a great combination!!! I read an aritcle once about the paranormal and the Civil War, and it talked about Old Green Eyes. It said that one night in between the fighting, a soldier on picket duty ( I don't remember if Union or Confederate) actually saw it in the corner of his eye and it dissapeared. When you talked about orbs on the battlefield, it reminded me of something that happened to me. I actually saw an orb one night with a friend one, IN MY BACKYARD THAT BUTS UP TO WOODS!!! We were out in the back yard talking about different things. I don't remember if he saw it first or I did, but we saw a blueish white orb hovering above a few trees, just in the tree light. I got a little nervous and started to walk down the small hill towards the parking lot of my apartment complex. Shortly after I saw what I would describe as a visible but invisible box thing move about 2 feet in front of me. I don't know what it was, but it came from the direction of the ord so I assume that it was the orb that transformed into something else. I think that it was a ghost. After that I got scared and went into the apartment and talked about it with my friend. Before that I didn't believe in ghosts, but now I'm a true believer. I've gone out many times to the exact spot, wondering if I would ever see anything again, but I never have. People can have their own opinions about that if they wont to, but God is my witness and I know what I saw. I'm Catholic, and I believe that you have to be truthful with everything that you see and do, and that event was the God honest truth!!!
Great coverage on the Green eyes legend. I was born and raised in Chickamauga, GA. I've heard this story my whole life! I won't go through the battlefield at night. I always take the bypass. Lots of spooky stuff in that park!
@@donnielaws7020 You are welcome! Thank you for keeping our Appalachian heritage alive through your stories. And you're right about Snodgrass hill. There's something about that land.
Thank you for sharing this. Up here in VA we have so many battlefields and lots of spooky places near them, but nothing remotely like this. Green Eyes is really a unique critter, glad there's just one of them (I hope).
I read about old green eyes in a scary tales book back in the 90s. It was an old book back then and you told it just like in the book. Thank you for keeping these legends alive!
My husband and I do 18th century re-enacting and I have been to a lot of forts and battlefields but I have never been there. Although the battle is 100 years after what we re-enact I plan on making a trip there. I live in Cheroke n.c. and it's not so far. So hopfully we can go inthe spring next year. If the good Lords willing and the creek don't rise.
Watched ole green eyes today. I really enjoy researching civil war history. The battle of Buffington Island was fought only five miles from where I live. The confederate general John Hunt Morgan led the raid against union forces. Thanks for the interesting content you post.
Sir sad & bitter story, sad and tumultuous times! May whenever see them again! Been there also it will make take a deep breath, a tightness in your throat & a tear roll down your cheek! ...ATB & thank you!
That was really good, Donnie. I am such a Civil War nut. It's funny what is considered a victory. More Confederate soldiers were killed (a few more than 2200. Compared to the roughly 1600 and some change for the Federals ) . More Confederate soldiers were wounded but more Federal soldiers were captured by a wide margin. But it is considered a victory for the South. Sounds like a push to me. But I wasn't there. It is on my bucket list to visit Chickamauga. I only hope to see Ole green eyes. I think it's Stonewall.
@@donnielaws7020 Donnie I don't think you are aware of just how many people whose days are brightened by your channel. Yours is a learned it first hand type of wisdom and we appreciate. I can imagine this UA-cam business takes up a good bit of your time. Thank you for doing what you do.
There are so many orbs. So many. I have lots of pictures with them. I'm pretty sure it's just moisture in the air, but I've seen some that are huge and look like they're moving left to right in multiple pictures.The battlefield has a fog that comes out at night too, at all times of the year. I've take a picture at night where at man showed up in the picture who wasn't there when we took it. He also seemed to be in the air. He was wearing an old hat and looked old, but he's looking at the camera. The ONE THING that, hands down, is the scariest thing I've ever seen was at the battlefield. I've heard stories of "lights/comets" going through the fields night. I actually saw one bigger than a car in the woods near my truck, seeming to follow my truck as we drove down the main road. It was moving between trees. Then it turned and seemed to pass through my truck, which caused me to lose control and drive off the road. Once I got composure (my friend was in shock) I got out to look and I never saw a thing around us. Another car came up a minute later to check on us. I'll never forget that moment the rest of my life.
Great video! We live in Oregon, but our daughter, her husband, and their 3 kids, our grandkids live in Chickamauga just a couple miles from the Battlefield. Every time we go out there, I go watch that cool movie in the Visitors Center about the Battle of Chickamauga. That's where I found our the Battle started exactly 100 years before I was born, September 18, 1963. I have driven through the Battlefield at dusk and at night. I haven't seen Green Eyes, but I have seen lots of deer and lightning bugs, which might look like green eyes bouncing around. We might go again in 2023. Love your videos of the area! We might retire there.
We just got back to Oregon from Chickamauga. We didn't see old green eyes, but one evening at dusk, driving through, I counted 28 deer, and numerous lightning bugs!
As someone who is familiar with the supernatural/paranormal, I would suggest that the story of Old Green Eyes is describing a Windigo from Native American lore. Windigos are considered to be mysterious night creatures that thrive on the death of humans. In this particular case, I would guess that the Windigo was already present much prior to the Battle of Chickamauga, recalling Dragging Canoes declaration that the land was cursed and a dark cloud hung over the area. The description of Old Green Eyes matches closely to descriptions of a Windigo. This particular version seems more interested in the death surrounding the area, rather than possessing and tormenting humans, as the northern version is said to do.
Donnie, thanks for the video. My daughter's house is between Reed's bridge and Peavine Creek very close to the area where Col Minty's Cavalry first spotted Gen Bushrod Johnson's infantry marching from Ringgold toward Chickamauga. Last year I did a little metal detecting on September 18, 157 years to the day the first shots were fired there. It was an eerie and somber feeling that day.
Great story. Got me thinking about The Kings Mountain Battleground and wondering if any scary stories exist about it. I don't live too far from it. Been quite awhile since I've been there.
Mr Laws, thank you so much for sharing this story of the battle, battlefield & ol green eyes. I just love to hear you tell stories! Blessings always! ❤️✝️
Thank you agin sir portraying the appilacha people history spook stories the thing is that are all manors of things hear in theas woods can't be explained like orbs and lights. Sounds and evidence of things can not be explained. Thank you agin sir for the respect you give us and thanks fer the stories
Darrell raley great one as always you would have been a great history teacher you are the best story teller a have ever known God bless and keep safe in your travels
Donnie. My dad was raised in Chickamauga and when young him and his buddies would visit an old slave man who had buried a lot of soldiers in the battlefield. He lived near bloody pond.
I used to live in chickamauga the little town just past the battlefield a friend was there late one evening he was mowing a field he saw a group of soldiers coming out of the woods in formation he hasn't gone back in fact he left the tractor running
I grew up here i heard of ol green eyes and at night if you go out you can hear noise that Will make your skin crawl and you can hear Like Someone is following you IT is scary.... thank you for shairing god bless you
I bet It just isn't in the evenings that the mind can play tricks there. When you showed the picture of the cabin and cannon at Snodgrass Hill, I had a shiver and a little queezie come across me. It looked pretty and peaceful, but something in me...said nope. Let's hope if ol Green Eyes searching for spirits to feed off of, fades into oblivion by a history like ours never repeating itself. Sleeping with one eye 👁 open tonite! Hope your doing well my friend. Blessings
Oh my....I know what I would be doing, and that's running like crazy 🤪 😜 😳 and getting the heck outta there, I believe it, I grew up with to many stories out of Lee County Virginia
I always wanted to hunt there we hunted AEDC there in Tn several times great video sir I really enjoy watching your videos be safe and GOD BLESS y’all Amen 🙏
My great-great-great grandpa was a Confederate sergeant of the 39th North Carolina Infantry who was wounded at the Battle of Chickamauga, and he passed down to his son (my great-great grandpa), and he to his daughter (my great grandma), and she to me, the story of a man who came seemingly from nowhere to rally and rile up the Confederates and spur them on to victory in that battle; it's said he had eyes greener than the leaves on the trees and that, when the battle had ended, no one could find him nor had any idea where he went.
Enjoyed this immensely. Loved the revisitation of the battle of Chickamauga. We should never forget the sad past. Green Eyes is new to me. I never want to run into it.
Mr. Laws - I have come across this channel called "celebrating Appalachia" and they do alot with expressions and words that mountain folk used or use as opposed to what's in the dictionary. I would love to hear your take on some words or phrases - because I have been writing them down for an archive to create a charectar in my work. These expressions and let's say this playful language is pretty darn different from anything anywhere else in the US and totally specific to your region and varies from region to region. Please do a video on this - you make great videos. I would love to hear your take on it and I'm sure you have some good plays on words and different phrases specific to Appalachia that people would find darned interesting. Your friends from Chicago 🔥
I too discovered this channel as well as celebrating Appalachia, when I looked up on search for Appalachia language. My grandmother and family came from Virginia. And used some of the old wording and phrases. Wonderful to see your videos.
Wow, this is scary! I once visited Appomattox Courthouse, Civil War Sight. Certain parts of that sight, gave me the Feeling of Being Watched. I was about nine years old. I was glad to leave.
@@donnielaws7020 You're Welcome 👍 Also at Appomattox Courthouse they had some of the original cots, from the Civil War displayed. There were blood stains on some. It looked sorta like a rusty color. My grandpa and I stopped at the Appomattox Courthouse Site. On the way back from Richmond, Va. He used to bid on retired state police cars. If he got a car we rode the Greyhound Bus to Richmond bus terminal and took a cab. Out to Midlothian Turnpike to pay for and pick up the car. They were Fury 1, Fury 2 and Fury 3. 440 police interceptor engines. I learned to drive on one. They were fast. Some registered 180. on the speedometer. We sold lots of them. He got 16 on the first bid. The bid sheets said good, fair or poor condition. Once he towed one all the way from Richmond to Groseclose, Va. It unhooked when he turned in the driveway, It was hooked wrong. That was lucky. I was sitting in the Greyhound bus on the James River Bridge when the floods happened in 68 (I think that's the year) Oil tanks were floating down the James River. We got the police car, went through water up to the wheel well, at one spot called Sprouse's Corner on the way home. Them days is all gone. Memories Remain.
Thank you Mr. Laws for covering this story! I have been interested in Ole Green Eyes since I was a little girl. And that boy that jumped from the tower I wonder what he seen! Patricia Gambino Harrington( I post on my hubby Frank's acct)
Thank you so much for telling your stories! I ran across your channel one day on accident. I had recently moved to Dunlap TN and wanted to know more about the area. I lived my whole life in California and could not wait to get out! The beauty here and the amazing people is amazing!! I have no regrets on moving other than not doing it years earlier! I now look forward to EVERY video you do. I have learned so much history from you and places to go explore and visit. I LOVE the creepy legends and stories, I also enjoy the metal detecting videos alot! I used to go with my grandmother as a child and metal detect. I recently went and got a nice one and a pointer to start up again at 51yrs old now😁😁. I just really want to thank you SO VERY much for making your videos! 🥰
I grew up near Chickamauga. The talk among us in the 1970's was that if you went to Snodgrass Cabin in the dark of the moon and called for Ol' Green Eyes it would come up out of the woods.
Thank you Don for the stories, I've been to this battlefield twice and many others through Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia. I really appreciate what you do for us.
I grew up on property adjacent to the chickamuga battlefield. I’d walk a barb wire fence until it met the railroad tracks and then follow them to wilders tower. It was no more than a mile away from my house. I never dared go exploring the battlefield at night back then. Snodgrass hill was thought to be the most haunted place with green eyes living possibly in the cabin that sits on top. Many, many, many people died there. Horrific, painful deaths… our neighbor did see a ghost when she was just a little girl. She said she was playing outside and a man on a horse slowly walked by her. She said he kept his head down, never giving eye contact and that he looked exhausted. She told me she believed it was a former civil war solider. She definitely believed in hauntings. She also had a cave with 2 entrances on her property. It was believed to be a sort of storage bunker back during the war. Folks wanted to do a lot of exploring in it but she raked all her leaves and sticks into it and turned it into a burn pile. Eventually it closed the entrances sadly. As for me and my stories I couldn’t say I experienced to much out of the ordinary. But I never went looking either.
Sounds like me. You telling the details of walking that fence line brought back so many memories I want to cry. Damn. But yea, a lot of family and friends claim they've seen things and had experiences. I've never come close. L This all brings back memories, though. Makes me sad
My Inlaws were from Missouri, they'd tell a story when we were camping, with all the young children around the camp fire, about how "where ever the Brown's go, the Hookman follows" 😳After we put the kids to bed in their tent, their Uncle Mike Brown, would scratch the outside of the tent. Scared the daylights out of them.😭 After that they slept with the parents, great times. Love hearing your stories, "God Bless You and Yours"✝
As an elderly civil war buff, thanks for posting this. We are losing perspective of how terrible this war was.
I just hope history don't repeat it's self my friend. They don't seem to learn it do they?
@@donnielaws7020 you've got that right, people have no idea what they are asking for.

I've been to a few Civil War battlefields, including Chickamauga, and they're all haunted.
My mom and I had a personal experience at the Antietem battlefield in Maryland. The hair still stands up on the back of my neck just remembering it.
Thanks for another great video, Donnie! I remember there is a monument on the battlefield that looks like cannonballs stacked and it's for the two relatives of Mary Todd Lincoln who were Confederates from Kentucky.
I grew up in Chickamauga. We use to go into the battlefield a lot when I was younger at like 1AM but sadly we never experienced anything.
I remember when I was younger, about 20, in 2001, when I was sitting on a bench, near a creek by Wilder Tower, reading my textbook. It wasn't windy, but the pages of the book seem to flip on their own. Suddenly, I heard a moaning sound coming from the ground to the right of me. I got spooked, grabbed my textbook and left the area.
Heard about green eyes my whole life. I grew up near Chickamauga battlefield.
I bet you know some great stories. Thanks for sharing my friend.
I remember mothman and dogman stories growing up in WV. Another good video Donnie.
Thank you. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Donnie, thank you so much for sharing this story . id love to meet you someday and just sit on the porch and have coffee and just conversation and stories you could tell. You're such a beautiful soul .
Thank you for them kind words friend.
You said it right. What a dream it be to actually get to sit across from Donnie n listen him telling wonderfully interesting stories. I could sit there all day for as long as he has stories to tell. That voice makes the stories come to life!!!
@@marywegrzyn506 , yes just so soothing . love donnie's .
Great video Sir. I could listen to your beautiful Southern Accent all day and night. My husband & I went to the battlefield. There was a moment when I felt overwhelmed and could not move. I told my husband " something terrible happened right here. I can feel it. It is such a soul-stabbing sadness that overcame me. I couldn't move. It was late afternoon, in summer. As sunset was beginning, we finally found the battlefield. He said "no baby, it is here. On this field, there are monuments to the battle. Come over here and look." He stood in the humid, hot air, in the tall grass of the battlefield. I had been overcome by grief at the dividing plot of land and tall pines between the lanes of the road leading to and away from that exact site. There, between the roads, I could feel the sadness wash over me like an ocean wave. I couldn't explain it, but I felt them...all watching me, and telling me ' it happened here". I have never forgotten that afternoon, nor will I ever.
WOW Thanks for sharing this story my friend. A lot of sad times there.
Thank you, thank you, thank you so very much for this wonderful scary true story. I love you dearly Sir...
You are most welcome. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Mr.Laws I was born and raised near Chickamauga Battlefield and still today live a few miles west of it in Ringgold, Ga. Everything you said and described in this video is true about the sights, sounds and feelings that can come over you while in the park. Its a beautiful place that needs to be protected and remembered for those who lost everything during that awful time. Thank you and God Bless You for keeping these memories alive.
WOW Thanks for sharing this my friend. God bless you my friend.
Thanks for sharing its amazing and very sad the lost of so many lives. I never heard about this green eye thanks for sharing. Keep up your good work looking forward for more stories that are amazing.
Thank you friend. Your very welcome.
👍🏼👍🏼💯💯💯⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Donnie my wife found your channel and shared with me because she knows I love learning new things . We are both Trail of Tears Descendants. My family settled in Bladenboro , NC and her family ended up on the West Coast in Northern California California. Thank you for Sharing your research for all to learn , because we have been lied to about History.
WOW that's amazing my friend. God bless you. Thanks so much for sharing this. Glad you enjoy them.
Great telling of Old Green Eyes.
Thanks for sharing my friend.
Fantastic story. Love listening to you. Thank you.👌😊
Awesome! Your very welcome. Thanks for sharing that my friend.
Grew up around Chattanooga and Chickamauga. Local legends through the years still persist. When I was a child I was told “Green Eyes” was a woman looking for a lost lover on the battlefield. However I’m also told that the Native American legends predate Civil War so very much as you told it could be something from well before America.
I greatly enjoy your accent and story telling style. It reminds me of my grandfather and great grandmother.
I have spent many years around the battlefield and have had friends I trust tell if strange things. Even toured it nearly all my life and felt some strange presence at points.
Some may claim it’s untrue or deer but man don’t know it all and never will.
If you ever find yourself in Chattanooga. Stay at the Reed House and take their ghost tour.
Wow. Thanks for sharing this my friend.
Thank you, Donnie. I'm taking my wife to Chickamauga next week. She will love this story. Please tell us more spooky stories!
your welcome. Thanks for sharing my friend.
That was Great Sir . Thank you , I love your show . 🤠🖖
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you. Thanks for sharing my friend.
I lived in Lookout Valley near the park...we use to drive thur the park at night looking for Green Eyes!
WOW Thanks for sharing this my friend.
Love your stories!
Thanks so much my friend.
Great video!!! I am a huge Civil War buff and I have been to Chickamauga before!!! Its one of my favorite battlefields and I've been to quite a few of them!!! I'm also into the paranormal so this is a great combination!!! I read an aritcle once about the paranormal and the Civil War, and it talked about Old Green Eyes. It said that one night in between the fighting, a soldier on picket duty ( I don't remember if Union or Confederate) actually saw it in the corner of his eye and it dissapeared. When you talked about orbs on the battlefield, it reminded me of something that happened to me. I actually saw an orb one night with a friend one, IN MY BACKYARD THAT BUTS UP TO WOODS!!! We were out in the back yard talking about different things. I don't remember if he saw it first or I did, but we saw a blueish white orb hovering above a few trees, just in the tree light. I got a little nervous and started to walk down the small hill towards the parking lot of my apartment complex. Shortly after I saw what I would describe as a visible but invisible box thing move about 2 feet in front of me. I don't know what it was, but it came from the direction of the ord so I assume that it was the orb that transformed into something else. I think that it was a ghost. After that I got scared and went into the apartment and talked about it with my friend. Before that I didn't believe in ghosts, but now I'm a true believer. I've gone out many times to the exact spot, wondering if I would ever see anything again, but I never have. People can have their own opinions about that if they wont to, but God is my witness and I know what I saw. I'm Catholic, and I believe that you have to be truthful with everything that you see and do, and that event was the God honest truth!!!
Thank you. I know my friend I have seen a few my self. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Thank you so much for sharing.... I could just listen to you talk forever. God Bless.
Wow, thank you. Your very welcome. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Wow, interesting about Green Eyes. Thanks Mr Donnie 😊
Your very welcome my friend.
Thanks for sharing these local stories.

Thanks Donnie for a great Story ❤😊
Your very welcome my friend.
Thankyou awesome story from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Your welcome.
Enjoyed again
Another great interesting video Mr Donnie. Appreciate ya again my friend
Thanks again my friend.
Great coverage on the Green eyes legend. I was born and raised in Chickamauga, GA. I've heard this story my whole life! I won't go through the battlefield at night. I always take the bypass. Lots of spooky stuff in that park!
WOW Thanks for sharing this my friend.
@@donnielaws7020 You are welcome! Thank you for keeping our Appalachian heritage alive through your stories. And you're right about Snodgrass hill. There's something about that land.
@@lisaarnold8178 WOW, I could feel something at that place. Your very welcome.
Thank you for sharing this. Up here in VA we have so many battlefields and lots of spooky places near them, but nothing remotely like this. Green Eyes is really a unique critter, glad there's just one of them (I hope).
I hope so to my friend. Thanks for sharing this. Your most very welcome. According to Native American legion he was here long before the war.
Donnie thank for another great story!!!
Thank you Bill.
I read about old green eyes in a scary tales book back in the 90s. It was an old book back then and you told it just like in the book.
Thank you for keeping these legends alive!
Awesome! Your very welcome my friend.
I like the story so very much!!!!!
Thank you friend. Glad you enjoyed it.
Another home run my friend. Thanks for sharing Donnie. 👍👍👍
Thanks 👍Bobby. Thank you so much my friend.
My husband and I do 18th century re-enacting and I have been to a lot of forts and battlefields but I have never been there. Although the battle is 100 years after what we re-enact I plan on making a trip there. I live in Cheroke n.c. and it's not so far. So hopfully we can go inthe spring next year. If the good Lords willing and the creek don't rise.
That is awesome! Lot of sad history here. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Watched ole green eyes today. I really enjoy researching civil war history. The battle of Buffington Island was fought only five miles from where I live. The confederate general John Hunt Morgan led the raid against union forces. Thanks for the interesting content you post.
WOW Thanks for sharing this my friend. Your very welcome.
Sir sad & bitter story, sad and tumultuous times! May whenever see them again! Been there also it will make take a deep breath, a tightness in your throat & a tear roll down your cheek! ...ATB & thank you!
So sad to know the history there. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Wow! Loved this! Loved the story and the scenery. Thanks Donnie. ~Jodi
Your very welcome. Thanks for sharing that my friend.
That Place is Definitely Hainted even in the Daytime, Riding thru there at Night is Spooky too, Thanks for the Tour Donny and have a good one
It sure is. Thanks for sharing my friend.
That was really good, Donnie. I am such a Civil War nut. It's funny what is considered a victory. More Confederate soldiers were killed (a few more than 2200. Compared to the roughly 1600 and some change for the Federals ) . More Confederate soldiers were wounded but more Federal soldiers were captured by a wide margin. But it is considered a victory for the South. Sounds like a push to me. But I wasn't there. It is on my bucket list to visit Chickamauga. I only hope to see Ole green eyes. I think it's Stonewall.
WOW Thanks for sharing this my friend. God bless you. Thank you. Your very welcome.
@@donnielaws7020 Donnie I don't think you are aware of just how many people whose days are brightened by your channel. Yours is a learned it first hand type of wisdom and we appreciate. I can imagine this UA-cam business takes up a good bit of your time. Thank you for doing what you do.
God bless you my friend. Thank you.
There are so many orbs. So many. I have lots of pictures with them. I'm pretty sure it's just moisture in the air, but I've seen some that are huge and look like they're moving left to right in multiple pictures.The battlefield has a fog that comes out at night too, at all times of the year. I've take a picture at night where at man showed up in the picture who wasn't there when we took it. He also seemed to be in the air. He was wearing an old hat and looked old, but he's looking at the camera. The ONE THING that, hands down, is the scariest thing I've ever seen was at the battlefield. I've heard stories of "lights/comets" going through the fields night. I actually saw one bigger than a car in the woods near my truck, seeming to follow my truck as we drove down the main road. It was moving between trees. Then it turned and seemed to pass through my truck, which caused me to lose control and drive off the road. Once I got composure (my friend was in shock) I got out to look and I never saw a thing around us. Another car came up a minute later to check on us. I'll never forget that moment the rest of my life.
WOW Thanks for sharing this my friend.
Great video! We live in Oregon, but our daughter, her husband, and their 3 kids, our grandkids live in Chickamauga just a couple miles from the Battlefield. Every time we go out there, I go watch that cool movie in the Visitors Center about the Battle of Chickamauga. That's where I found our the Battle started exactly 100 years before I was born, September 18, 1963. I have driven through the Battlefield at dusk and at night. I haven't seen Green Eyes, but I have seen lots of deer and lightning bugs, which might look like green eyes bouncing around. We might go again in 2023. Love your videos of the area! We might retire there.
Awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing this.
We just got back to Oregon from Chickamauga. We didn't see old green eyes, but one evening at dusk, driving through, I counted 28 deer, and numerous lightning bugs!
As someone who is familiar with the supernatural/paranormal, I would suggest that the story of Old Green Eyes is describing a Windigo from Native American lore. Windigos are considered to be mysterious night creatures that thrive on the death of humans. In this particular case, I would guess that the Windigo was already present much prior to the Battle of Chickamauga, recalling Dragging Canoes declaration that the land was cursed and a dark cloud hung over the area. The description of Old Green Eyes matches closely to descriptions of a Windigo. This particular version seems more interested in the death surrounding the area, rather than possessing and tormenting humans, as the northern version is said to do.
WOW Thanks for sharing this my friend. It very well could be. Some say old green eyes as always been there.
I really enjoyed this. I am from Georgia.
Thanks my friend. Thanks for sharing.
Donnie, thanks for the video. My daughter's house is between Reed's bridge and Peavine Creek very close to the area where Col Minty's Cavalry first spotted Gen Bushrod Johnson's infantry marching from Ringgold toward Chickamauga. Last year I did a little metal detecting on September 18, 157 years to the day the first shots were fired there. It was an eerie and somber feeling that day.
WOW I bet. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Good story Donnie I enjoyed it, catch you on the next one. 🇺🇸
Thanks 👍 Friend.

Great story. Got me thinking about The Kings Mountain Battleground and wondering if any scary stories exist about it. I don't live too far from it. Been quite awhile since I've been there.
I would say there is. There always are around these battlefields. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Mr Laws, thank you so much for sharing this story of the battle, battlefield & ol green eyes. I just love to hear you tell stories! Blessings always! ❤️✝️

Thank you friend for sharing this.
Donnie. My dad was raised in Chickamauga and when young him and his buddies would visit an old slave man who had buried a lot of soldiers in the battlefield. He lived near bloody pond.
Awesome. Thanks.
Love this story and civil war info. Thank you!
Your so welcome friend.
We love the stories and your voice
Thank you so much for saying my friend.
I used to live in chickamauga the little town just past the battlefield a friend was there late one evening he was mowing a field he saw a group of soldiers coming out of the woods in formation he hasn't gone back in fact he left the tractor running
WOW, Thanks for sharing friend.
I like hearing the civil war stories. Thank you for sharing.
Your very welcome my friend.

Your very welcome. Thanks for sharing my friend.
A really good video. Never realized the amount of casualties from this battle. I really enjoyed listening an watching your video. Thankyou.
Your welcome my friend.
Great video thank you...
Your welcome.
Great story Donnie I guess every state has the monster
It's a old story my friend. Thanks for sharing.
I bet It just isn't in the evenings that the mind can play tricks there. When you showed the picture of the cabin and cannon at Snodgrass Hill, I had a shiver and a little queezie come across me. It looked pretty and peaceful, but something in me...said nope. Let's hope if ol Green Eyes searching for spirits to feed off of, fades into oblivion by a history like ours never repeating itself. Sleeping with one eye 👁 open tonite! Hope your doing well my friend. Blessings
Thank you my friend for the comment. It is a different place after dark. Thanks for sharing.
Howdy Donnie- thank you for the history lesson and an interesting story. Take care and God bless y’all

My great-great-great grandpa was a Confederate sergeant of the 39th North Carolina Infantry who was wounded at the Battle of Chickamauga, and he passed down to his son (my great-great grandpa), and he to his daughter (my great grandma), and she to me, the story of a man who came seemingly from nowhere to rally and rile up the Confederates and spur them on to victory in that battle; it's said he had eyes greener than the leaves on the trees and that, when the battle had ended, no one could find him nor had any idea where he went.
WOW, Thanks for sharing my friend.
@@donnielaws7020 You are most welcome, good sir!
Enjoyed this immensely. Loved the revisitation of the battle of Chickamauga. We should never forget the sad past. Green Eyes is new to me. I never want to run into it.
Me nether my friend. Thank you.
Very interesting Donnie. I enjoyed your store very much and have good day
Thank you.
Mr. Laws - I have come across this channel called "celebrating Appalachia" and they do alot with expressions and words that mountain folk used or use as opposed to what's in the dictionary. I would love to hear your take on some words or phrases - because I have been writing them down for an archive to create a charectar in my work. These expressions and let's say this playful language is pretty darn different from anything anywhere else in the US and totally specific to your region and varies from region to region. Please do a video on this - you make great videos. I would love to hear your take on it and I'm sure you have some good plays on words and different phrases specific to Appalachia that people would find darned interesting. Your friends from Chicago 🔥
Thank you friend. Great ideal. Thanks for sharing.
I too discovered this channel as well as celebrating Appalachia, when I looked up on search for Appalachia language. My grandmother and family came from Virginia. And used some of the old wording and phrases. Wonderful to see your videos.
@@d.g.n9392 Thank you friend. Welcome to the channel.
Wow, this is scary!
I once visited Appomattox Courthouse,
Civil War Sight.
Certain parts of that sight, gave me the
Feeling of Being Watched.
I was about nine years old.
I was glad to leave.
WOW Thanks for sharing this my friend.
@@donnielaws7020
You're Welcome 👍
Also at Appomattox Courthouse
they had some of the original cots,
from the Civil War displayed.
There were blood stains on some.
It looked sorta like a rusty color.
My grandpa and I stopped at the
Appomattox Courthouse Site.
On the way back from Richmond, Va.
He used to bid on retired state police cars.
If he got a car we rode the Greyhound Bus
to Richmond bus terminal and took a cab.
Out to Midlothian Turnpike to pay for and
pick up the car.
They were Fury 1, Fury 2 and Fury 3.
440 police interceptor engines.
I learned to drive on one. They were fast.
Some registered 180. on the speedometer.
We sold lots of them. He got 16 on the first bid. The bid sheets said good, fair or poor
condition. Once he towed one all the way from Richmond to Groseclose, Va.
It unhooked when he turned in the driveway,
It was hooked wrong. That was lucky.
I was sitting in the Greyhound bus on the
James River Bridge when the floods happened in 68 (I think that's the year)
Oil tanks were floating down the James River. We got the police car, went through water up to the wheel well, at one spot called Sprouse's Corner on the way home.
Them days is all gone. Memories Remain.
Thank you Mr. Laws for covering this story! I have been interested in Ole Green Eyes since I was a little girl. And that boy that jumped from the tower I wonder what he seen! Patricia Gambino Harrington( I post on my hubby Frank's acct)
I wish we knew. Thanks for sharing this my friend.
@@donnielaws7020 you are welcome, !! Patricia Gambino Harrington
Thanks for sharing. Sad about all of the deaths and so many buried like that.
It is sad. Your welcome my friend.
Thank you so much for telling your stories! I ran across your channel one day on accident. I had recently moved to Dunlap TN and wanted to know more about the area. I lived my whole life in California and could not wait to get out! The beauty here and the amazing people is amazing!! I have no regrets on moving other than not doing it years earlier! I now look forward to EVERY video you do. I have learned so much history from you and places to go explore and visit. I LOVE the creepy legends and stories, I also enjoy the metal detecting videos alot! I used to go with my grandmother as a child and metal detect. I recently went and got a nice one and a pointer to start up again at 51yrs old now😁😁. I just really want to thank you SO VERY much for making your videos! 🥰
Welcome to Tennessee and to the channel my friend. Glad to here you like the videos Thank you .
I grew up near Chickamauga. The talk among us in the 1970's was that if you went to Snodgrass Cabin in the dark of the moon and called for Ol' Green Eyes it would come up out of the woods.
WOW Thanks for sharing my friend.
Thanks Donnie, I have been to this battlefield before, but only in the daylight.
Your welcome. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Thank you Don for the stories, I've been to this battlefield twice and many others through Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia. I really appreciate what you do for us.
Very welcome. Thanks for sharing my friend.
I grew up on property adjacent to the chickamuga battlefield. I’d walk a barb wire fence until it met the railroad tracks and then follow them to wilders tower. It was no more than a mile away from my house. I never dared go exploring the battlefield at night back then. Snodgrass hill was thought to be the most haunted place with green eyes living possibly in the cabin that sits on top. Many, many, many people died there. Horrific, painful deaths… our neighbor did see a ghost when she was just a little girl. She said she was playing outside and a man on a horse slowly walked by her. She said he kept his head down, never giving eye contact and that he looked exhausted. She told me she believed it was a former civil war solider. She definitely believed in hauntings. She also had a cave with 2 entrances on her property. It was believed to be a sort of storage bunker back during the war. Folks wanted to do a lot of exploring in it but she raked all her leaves and sticks into it and turned it into a burn pile. Eventually it closed the entrances sadly. As for me and my stories I couldn’t say I experienced to much out of the ordinary. But I never went looking either.
WOW, Great story my friend. Thanks so much for sharing it.
Sounds like me. You telling the details of walking that fence line brought back so many memories I want to cry. Damn.
But yea, a lot of family and friends claim they've seen things and had experiences. I've never come close. L
This all brings back memories, though. Makes me sad
Love your videos.
Thank you.
Awesome story, so many brave souls met the death angel in that battlefield, some to glory, some to eternal despair. Thank you
God bless
I lived right out of side of the battlefield as the place heard alot seen stuff
Thanks for sharing my friend.
Thank you Donnie, liked hearing about Old Green Eyes, surely is a very mysterious character !
Your welcome friend.
My Inlaws were from Missouri, they'd tell a story when we were camping, with all the young children around the camp fire, about how "where ever the Brown's go, the Hookman follows" 😳After we put the kids to bed in their tent, their Uncle Mike Brown, would scratch the outside of the tent. Scared the daylights out of them.😭 After that they slept with the parents, great times. Love hearing your stories, "God Bless You and Yours"✝
