The American political leader, military general, statesman known as George Washington perhaps needs no introduction. As a Founding Father and the first president of the United States and major player in the victory of the Patriots during the War for Independence, as well as instrumental in the creation of the U.S. Constitution, he is one of the most instantly recognizable figures in history, called the Father of His Country, and considered to be one of the greatest American presidents who ever lived. Yet, despite his legendary status, Washington was not above having some very weird paranormal experiences.
A lot of the weird incidents we will look at here supposedly occurred at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, during the Revolutionary War, where in 1777 Washington was serving as a commander of a weary and worn army of addled, battle beaten troops during a frigid winter. During this time Washington allegedly dictated to one of his officers about how he sometimes consorted with what he called the “Greenskins,” which who were described as somewhat short warriors with green skin that would come to him from the trees some evenings to speak with him. Washington related that these green skinned warriors lived in the wilderness within a great glowing orb that would move from place to place or even hover at times. These mysterious strangers would apparently give Washington all manner of tactical information on the enemy and advice on how to approach battles, and he purportedly credited them with being very insightful and instrumental to victory.
