show moreOld Green Eyes is a strange, otherworldly creature, half-man and half-beast. This mysterious entity wanders Chickamauga Battlefield on two legs and has long, stringy hair down to his waist. He's known for his glowing green eyes and huge jaws with two sharp fangs sticking out. The legend comes from a Native American legend from long before the Civil War. There were reports of Green Eyes wandering among the dead at Snodgrass Hill shortly after the Battle of Chickamauga. Some say he was eating the corpses of the fallen soldiers.
Greg Smith grew up in the backwoods of the small Northwestern Georgia town of Chickamauga. He was raised on hunting and fishing, so he was always out in the woods. Greg developed an interest in cryptids thanks to the old TV show Unsolved Mysteries which would show the segments about unknown creatures like Bigfoot, Mothman, and other creatures which got him hooked on cryptozoology. He would watch and read anything he could find on the subject. Upon gaining access to the internet, he was opened to the world of Cryptids and by this time, there were many more shows on the subject. The show Mountain Monsters inspired Greg to begin doing his own boots-on-the-ground field research. He figured that if those men were in the woods looking for cryptids, then he could do it, too.
After some years he was weaponed up and mobile and Backwoods Cryptids began. Greg gave his research team its name because he’s “a backwoods son of a b**** and is out there in the woods looking for cryptid creatures.” For Greg, it has been a great and fun ride ever since he met and became friends with some amazing people with similar interests. You can find Greg’s adventures and research on his YouTube channel, Backwoods Cryptids, where he shares his field research, investigations, the creatures he’s hunting, and his many interviews with witnesses.
