Echoes of Terror: The White Bluff Screamer

Hello again, everyone!

Today, I will be talking about a legendary apparition that has been terrorizing Middle Tennessee since the turn of the 20th century. The White Bluff Screamer, A.K.A. the Screamer, as it is referred to locally, is said to inhabit the area around White Bluff, Tennessee. White Bluff is about 30 miles west of Nashville, and it will take you anywhere between 30-45 mins of drive time from there if you want to check out this local haunt.

The White Bluff Screamer is known for its deafening screams that can be heard echoing throughout the woods at night. How would you feel if you were camping or hiking, better yet, alone, and you were suddenly accosted by the sound of blood-curdling screams in the middle of the night? I would personally be quite alarmed, to say the least! Talk about your jump scares!

The Screamer has become a local legend and subject of numerous investigations from cryptozoologists and paranormal enthusiasts alike in an effort to better understand the encounters this entity has had with the people in and around the surrounding communities. Sightings date back all the way to the early 1900s, when a group of loggers first reported hearing unearthly screams from the deep woods in the dead of night. They described the sounds as “bone-chilling” and “inhuman.” Run! Go! Faster! Leave right now!

If the eerie and terrifying sounds aren’t enough for you, hold on tight, because it gets even spookier with the eyewitness depictions of the creature/apparition. The Screamer is described as a ghostly pale figure that is typically feminine in appearance. However, my favorite description is that of a large, white-furred animal. This creature is said to be around 7 feet tall with long flowing hair or fur, and it has eyes that glow with an intense brightness straight from your worst nightmares. Of course, the White Bluff Screamer’s most distinct feature remains the same. This would be the crazy high-pitched screams, which are often reported to be a mix between a human wail and some kind of animal howl. No thanks!

Dating back to some of the first sightings, and even today, the Screamer is blamed for the disappearances of animals and sometimes people, with most folks believing that it is a malevolent spirit or some sort of guardian of the forest. There is no denying the fact that the White Bluff Screamer has become a staple of the rich folklore here in Tennessee. It has often been featured in stories, books, and even on podcasts and paranormal shows. The Screamer’s haunting cries are a stark reminder that there are still plenty of mysteries to be solved in this modern world.
