Pittsburgh has the urban legend of "The Green Man". Depending on which version you heard, he was either: 1) A kid who climbed an electrical pole, got shocked and horribly disfigured so he lived in an abandoned house or the sewers. He glowed green due to the electricity that surged through him. 2) That same kid, except he died and his glowing green ghost haunted the area where he was killed 3) A steel worker who died from an electrical shock in the plant and whose green ghost wandered the streets he used to walk to work every day In reality, he was a real dude named Raymond Robinson. He really had been shocked as a kid, climbing a pole to try and grab a bird's nest. He miraculously survived, but lost his eyes, nose, and right arm. He lived a quiet life with relatives who helped take care of him and liked to stay out of the public eye, so he started walking at night to avoid people. That's where the legend sprung up, since people would catch glimpses of him in their headlights and jump to the conclusion that he must be a ghost. He also seemed pretty cool because he'd BS with people who brought him beer or cigarettes.
