Where I grew up in Western PA we had the Green Man. He was a real person who as a young child suffered severe electrical burns to his upper body including face. Ray, if I remember his name correctly, was in his 60's at the time and used to walk on local roadways at night near Koppel. As smart assed high school kids we would bring him beer and the chicks in the car would be petrified of the encounter. A few years ago I saw one of those "America's 10 most scary places" shows and they listed the Green Man as being on the list. The host was standing on an old railroad bed with a tunnel and his "paranormal expert" could sense vibes of Green Man's truly evil presence. That was nowhere close to the real story.
