Scream near White Bluff, Tennessee (1700)
Account
An old tale tells of a settler who heard blood-curdling screams from the woods for several nights and set out with a lantern and gun to investigate. The screams stayed ahead of him until he heard terrible screams from his own home and rushed back. He found his family killed and reportedly saw a white ape-like shape with footprints burned into the grass.
