Old Green Eyes is the name of the demon who hides in the bushes of the park. The humanoid creature has glowing green-orange eyes with fang-like teeth. It wears a cape, which is partially hidden by it's waist length hair. The ghoul was first seen prowling among the corpses after Civil War battles. Since then, the phantom has been reported by both park rangers and visitors, and in the 1970's it caused two seperate automobile accidents when it was spotted alongside a road. Old Green Eyes is most often encountered on Snodgrass Hill, site of a bloody Civil War battle. In September 1863, over 35,000 men died in three days of fighting.

The ghost of a lady in white is also seen roaming the grounds. She is said to be searching for her sweetheart, who died in the carnage.
