White Screamer
In this small town of White Bluff there’s a famous hollow where the White Screamer dwells. No one knows exactly what it is or its origin. It’s said to be a white mysty form that wails and cries and screams enough to make any person go insane, thus gaining its title of “The White Screamer”. It has also been noted that if one ventures to the spot where they might’ve seen the White Screamer, the grass will be burned away. Alledgedly, around the 1920’s a young man built his family of a wife and seven children a home and farm down in the hollow, and every single night they’d wake up to the sound of this awful crying and screaming. So, finally, after this young man has had enough, he grabs his shotgun and runs out into the night off to find whatever beast is making this awful noise. He climbs to the top of one of the surrounding hills to see if he can spot it, and then hears the sound of screaming… only it’s the voices of his family and children. By the time he can climb down this hill and get back to his house, he finds his whole family dead.. and pieces of their body thrown around on the ground and the floors of the house. You can still drive down into the hollow and see the foundation of the house and graves of the members.

I’ve lived in White Bluff all my life and since I was little I’ve heard the story of the White Screamer, but I’ve never heard of it killing anybody either…I don’t know the exact place that it is seen but I do know that it was mostly seen around turn bull creek. I would like to know the truth in the story, but I’m not sure i want to ever encounter it myself…too big of a chicken for that…they’re a few ghost stories around this area that have been around for years..suppose on trace creek there’s a ghost that goes up and down the road screaming or something, but i’ve never seen it either, and in Burns, Tn, there’s a grave yard off buddy road that we call werewolf springs …that place is haunted and i know it first hand…there’s more places around dickson that’s haunted..you can go on the r.center’s website and they have a speical of haunted places in dickson that they go to and investigate paranormal activities..check it out.

I’m not sure if this is true or just something like the movie “The village” but if it’s true that’s crazy…if not then someone has too much time on his or her hands. Good Luck with that.

I have lived in Kingston Springs my whole life. I now live in White Bluff and have for 2 years now. I have never heard of this story. I haven’t asked anyone about it though. It’s interesting and I would like to hear people’s stories. Anyways, For those of you who have never heard of White Bluff, it is west of Nashville. Just two counties over.

This story is so true. My dad lives in White Bluff,where we spend our weekends with him. He lives in a narrow valley, where a creek runs behind & in front of his house. He had just moved into the house,from a house down the street. My sister and I encountered this creature while taking a stroll down the street, it was very tall that stood near 6 foot. It had wierd looking eyes that gazed and stared threw you. It was standing on two feet and it was a whiteish gray. We had been hearing foot steps behind us,but everytime we looked back nothing was there. Then, this thing comes running out of the woods toward My sister & I and we were in shock and couldnt move until my sister yelled run. Then we started running as fast as we could. We ran until we got to our house. It had disapeared when we got to mailbox. About a couple hours later, my sister and I were in our room. She had started to raise the window when the creature started grabbing at her threw the opened part of the window. She started screaming thats when it started screaming .So, I could’t hear her. Then, I pulled at her and kicked and screamed. Until, our dad came into our room. Right, when he was turning the door knob the creature fled. While, it was tugging and pulling at her,It felt like he was staring threw me and I knew it wasnt going to be the last time we would see it.Until, this day We havent encountered it,yet. But, we are heistant to take long walks down the street now!

This legend is soooo cool! Like a Big Foot type of story. They should do a documentation on it on Discovery Channel or A & E. Awesome story!

It’s a bigfoot. No kidding. It’s a bigfoot. Bigfoot has been spotted just on the other side of the river from there.

My name is Tammy. I am 34 years old. I do have to say that this is the first time that I have ever heard this story. I and alot of friends use to swim down at Turnbull Creek, Slater Bottom and Leatherwood, when we were younger. Never have I seen or heard anything like this. My grandparents live on Joslin Branch and has lived there all their lives. My grandmother is one to tell alot of folk tales but this one I’ve never heard. I’ll make it a point to ask her.

well, just like the majority of the people that have commented here i too am from White Bluff. i hear this story every year and it just cracks me up how much the tale changes. even so, this our town tale and ever place has one. i just hope that one day this story will actually have a scream of evidence to prove that it is true.

True or not, I find this story interesting. But I don’t like the bigfoot/other monstrous creature angle. I’ve never found those types of things scary in movies. I much prefer the demonic or ghostly. I’ve recently started writing scripts and would like to build a story around the legend of the White Screamer, so I’d really appreciate it if anyone who actually lives in White Bluff, TN would email me with any stories and/or experiences they’ve been told by grandparents, etc. I’m also interested in knowing which areas of White Bluff are somewhat isolated from the communities and are also said to be haunted by the White Screamer.

The story that was printed out. Makes it more of a Hollywood movie. I always heard that a panther scream sounds like a human woman screaming for help.

I’ve lived in White Bluff for 39 years and in this time i’ve seen the screamer 3 times, face to face and it does not look like a camal. My first encounter was in 1975 when it grabbed my younger brother walking to my cousins house, which was only a couple of yards down our old dirt road. We were the only houses on this road. He just begin the walk when i heard him holler and scream. Me and my friend came running towards him only to see this creature that was a whiteish gray about 6 feet tall holding my brother on the side of the road. We were scared to death. This thing had reddish pink eyes and a solemn stern look with a roundish head and wide shoulders and standing on 2 legs. We try to pull my brother from it then it started screaming and let my brother go. While we were running home it circled us 3 or 4 times screaming. We made to our yard where the light from our porch was on, it stopped and ran across our hog lot. We told our parents but they didn’t believe us till my uncle called a few minutes later saying something big ran across his porch. The next morning we were missing 2 sows. About 7 years later it came again and killed our dog and tore our screen door off. My dad shot it with a 30-06 but did not hurt it. We tracked blood for half mile then it just stopped. The 3rd and last time i saw it was 10 years ago. When me and my brother was working on his chicken house, just about dark when we heard something coming down the creek. My brother said there it is it’s back. We had electricity out there and fliped the security lights on. This thing ran behind the chicken house screaming. We both had pistols with us but we knew thet were useless, it just started to run back up the creek and was gone. But the next morning the chicken house door was tore down and all his chickens were dead. I can’t say that it won’t hurt people because it attacked my grandmother. While she fed her dogs she said it didn’t hurt her because of her dogs which attacked it. She had 10 dogs all big dogs. My brother passed 2 years ago but he still said he could hear the screamer from time to time. Don’t count on it not hurting you. THE END!!!!
