GREEN MAN

ORIGIN: Pennsylvania.

The legend of the Green Man, also known as Charlie No-Face, is a haunting urban tale that has been in western Pennsylvania for decades.

At night, a ghost like figure appears on lonely roads, particularly along State Route 351 near Koppel. 

He is described as a man with a horribly disfigured face and glowing green skin. 

Locals say that encountering him on a dark road brings misfortune, and some believe he haunts the area as a vengeful spirit.

But the truth behind the legend is both sad and pitiable. 

The Green Man was actually a man named Raymond Robinson.

In 1919, at the age of eight, he suffered an accident when he climbed a power line and was electrocuted. 

He survived but was left severely disfigured— losing both of his eyes, nose, and most of his facial features. 

Due to his new appearance, he was shunned by society.

Because of this, Raymond would take long walks at night along quiet roads to avoid the public eye. 

His coping nocturnal habits and disfigured appearance made many afraid of him and thus gave birth to the legend.

Despite his real-life struggles, Raymond was known to be kind to those who approached him respectfully. 

His story remains a blend of folklore, tragedy, and human resilience and perseverance.
