According to legend, after a tragic childhood accident, Charlie No-Face -- aka the Glowing Green Man -- lost his face and turned radioactive, literally glowing a toxic green as he stalks Western Pennsylvanian highways at night. His main haunt is Piney Fork Tunnel, an abandoned freight tunnel in Hillsville. But if you seek him out, keep your foot on the accelerator: If he even manages to touch your car, it might stall out. Then you'll be hanging out with Charlie No-Face for the rest of your (probably short) life. Ray Robinson was a real man. As a child in 1919, he was severely electrocuted by a trolly wire while peering into a bird's nest, which practically melted and disfigured his entire face. As an adult, Robinson walked Western Pennsylvanian highways (Route 351 to be exact), but only at night, as his shocking visage garnered unwanted attention. His "glowing" appearance is likely due to the petroleum jelly he needed to coat his damaged skin. Those who know him claim he was incredibly sweet, though profoundly isolated. And no, he has nothing to do with Pennsylvania's OTHER "Green Man."
