Ok, I haven't been here long, so maybe this one was already discussed and I missed it when I was surfing the topics. Apparently there's a tunnel in Western Pennsylvania (I can't remember the name though, which is sad because I think I live very near it) where a man was struck by lightning. Apparently he died, and something about the lightning made his ghostly form green. I've never seen it, or know anyone who's seen it, but I hear some people talk about it. My Reading teacher a few years back actually took up a whole class period talking about it once, so I've decided to see I anyone else knows about it/believes it.

well , l never heard that legend before but l found a Webpage on it.

I actually heard about this, supossed to be damn creeoy overthere.
Anybody from that erea on the board?

Yeah, I am. My friend lives rather close in West Mifflin (which is close to Green Man's tunnel), and I'm probably going out there this weekend. We're definantly gonna try to go see it, and I'll report anything I find out back to you guys on the boards.

never heard of it but cthulu is awsome

I think everyone in western PA has heard this legend....and everyone has said their dad/brother/uncle/baby's daddy has drank with the dude

I grew up hearing about this guy, and I will admit, I never met him

Interesting story but I haven't heard about it on the internet or the tv.

"It is said that if someone goes to the tunnel at night, turn off the car headlights, and call for him -- he will appear and come toward your car. His face may appear in the car window or he try to place his hands on your car window"

WOW, if i lived near there, I would be down there with friends every night looking for him! Thats a cool urban legend.

eh...it's ok..

dude, i would drive there and bring my friends,,,,,,,,you know how freakin scary that would be, a green man just coming up and putting his hand on your windshield,,,,and probably less painful than Bloody Mary

I've heard of something like that, but instead of just making him green he'd come out at night with a long scythe of some kind and kidnap innocent people, tie them up, and decapitate them. It could be another legend, though... lol

To be honest, I don't think he's alive anymore

Here is a link. A women took a video of the outside of the tunnel and of another one (Corvette Tunnel, also haunted) right next too it. Sadly there was no nudity, nor Green Man: http://www.personal.psu.edu/users/n/a/nad1...;s%20tunnel.htm

I always heard that the green man was actually a man that lived around here, not a ghost........gawd, who knows

*doesn't care*

the green man is just a freakish vegetarian with some pigment disease due to lack of meat lol

Hello, I am Jay and I know all about the Green Man. First of all, I live right by his tunnel so I've heard the true version of the story. Supposedly, the "Green Man" (before he was green) worked at a power plant. I believe it was Allegheny Power. Anyhow, one day, he was working at the plant and fell. He fell down onto something that was of high voltage. Before anybody could get down to him, he vanished. He escaped to a tunnel in which salt for salting the roads is stored. Supposedly, he was "super charged" with electricity that his body turned green, but somehow all of that electricity made it so he never dies. They say when you are right by his (salt storage)tunnel, the defroster on your car won't work Also, right before you get to the Green Man's Tunnel, you go under a concrete tunnel, which is called Corvette Tunnel. It is called that because one night, a woman was driving her Corvette through there and recked into another car. She died, but they say at midnight, if you are by the concrete tunnel, you will hear her ghost scream just before she racked. But wait! There is still yet another story about that very tunnel. There is (or maybe used to be, I haven't been down there lately) a little creek that ran by the concrete tunnel (Corvette tunnel). And one night, a guy killed his wife, chopped her up, and dumped her in that creek. They say if you walk through that tunnel, you may feel her ghost hands grab you legs, but you can't see her. I will ask my father next time I see him because he knew somebody who worked with the Green Man in the power plant before the accident. Also, I think he knows the name of the Green Man. I will keep you updated. P.S. Remember, if you go there, the concrete tunnel is Corvette Tunnel, the tunnel that (I believe had doors on it) you cant drive through, that is the Green Man's Tunnel.

Apparently he smokes through a hole in his face!

its green mans tunnel.. im trying to find his house.. my grandma used to take him food n sh** do you know where it is by any chance.. im not to worried abotu the tunnel now that will be easy to find.. if you could let me know before this friday id be very happy.. if you have aim you can try contacting me on x iiScArMySelF x .. hope to hear from you soon.. we really would liek to find his place.. me n my friends are ghost hunters n were trying to find new places n this is a new little obcession of mine..

Maybe it's just a bum in a leprechaun outfit

You know the green man in mythology is actually Dionysus(Bacchus), the god of festivals, fertillity, and wine.

the green man story is actually based in fact. the mans real name was ray robinson and he lived in northern beaver county pa. he died in the 80's i believe. but he was indeed the victim of some type of electrocution. and his face was horribly disfigured he also lost some of his arm. he would walk along the road at night and people would stop by and chat with him. he was a very nice man, we used to bring him cans of beer as a teenager. and he would make this sucking sound when he drank because he had no lips. i drank with him many times along that dark road and he knew why people came to see him. it was kind of sad. but at the same time it was his only contact with the ouside world.

I've heard about this story. And it was even on "Most Scary Stories" or something like that. The story itself is extremely interesting.

Thanks GreatJay & dirty whiteboy for the info! Sounds kinda cool?

We did an article on the Green Man in our first issue, check it out for the full scoop.

The above poster is correct- His name was Ray Robinson, and disfigurement due to an electrical accident led to his penchant for night time walks.

Our first isue also has the first ever published photo of the Green Man, which always elicits a 'Holy ****' when someone turns to that page.

Can you post the picture of him? I'd be interested in seeing that.

Ok, so... I've heard of this it was on the show real scary stories on ABC family.


Yeah its pretty creepy that story definately freaks me out x10.

If you go out there I want to know what happens... I had a dream about "green man" the other day.. it was creepy as hell.

Unfortunately I cannot. One of the conditions of us using it was that we only put it in print, and not spread it around electronically. They don't want the image and memory of this very real, and very kind, man to be exploited.

I'm not trying to get you to buy my magazine, but that is the only way you will see it for now.

Hi guys, Where I live in Ohio there is also an urban legend about a green man. The OP's story and the local one I know are very similar, with the difference is that the legend I know is that he was struck by lightning. He is suppose to live out on a road in the country kind of a hermit. I've been down this road hundreds of times, since it is maybe ten minutes from where I live, but I have never seen him. All I know of him is what I have heard from some my friends and relatives. Don't know if it is true or not.

Can someone post any photos? Like maybe of the creepy tunnel at night!
Or something

Okay, so I'm sorry for bringing back an old topic. I live less than a minute walk away from this tunnel, and there really isn't anything special about it. There are several run down tunnels around this area of South Park, so this one really is nothing different. And to clear things up, Corvette's Curb (aslo known as Corvette Tunnel) is the one you drive through. Green Man's Tunnel is now used for salt storage. If you'd like to view a picture of Green Man's, please visit http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/350483...me+-in%3Ascraps . If you have any questions about this tunnel or it's surrounding, want some South Park history, or even want to chat, feel free to email me at threeheadedteddy@yahoo.com .

Cheers!

Okay folks, believe it or not, I actually have the TRUE story. I'm originally from Ellwood City, PA (which is a neighboring city to where "the green man" lived). My uncle found this article posted by the Beaver County Times and here is the web address for it (just copy and paste it into where you type web addresses, and it will take you right there):

"The Green Man" was infact real, and his name was Raymond Robinson. He has been said to be a very kind man, who was unfortunately disfigured AS A CHILD due to being electricuted by an old Trolley system in Beaver Falls, PA. Read the story. It's good and factual, and also shows a picture of Raymond after being electrecuted. Hopefully this clears up all those myths everybody has been believing...
