    I’m from TN and a fun fact - not far from where the White Bluff Screamer story happened is a place nicknamed Werewolf Springs located in Montgomery Bell State Park. There are stories about the place that go back to the 1800’s. Also a county or two over is Adams where the famous Bell Witch haunting allegedly took place. Very peculiar place in my opinion.

    It's very interesting to me that you mention the Alabama white thing. I grew up in east central Alabama and stories about the "white thing" were told to me many times by my father, grandfather and many others in our small town. What I was told though differs a little from your description in that the white thing described to me was not like a sasquatch but was actually a beast with the head of a mountain lion the body of a bear and of course solid white. It terrorized our little town with screams at night and coming up onto peoples' porches and scratching on the doors. Many a dog and cat disappeared when it was around. The other part of the story about it is that it didn't linger in one place too long but had a multi-year cycle travelling north into Tennessee, back down the east coast and then back through Alabama. I could go on and on but I won't bore you. Great video that brings back good memories of campfire tales. Thanks!

      @@lizetholguin1623 There’s really not much more to tell. A group of 4 silly teenagers went down to the Chickamauga Battlefield around dusk & headed towards “Green Eye’s Tower” (I honestly have no clue what the tower’s actually named) & we sat there talking crap & waiting hoping to see the spectral green eyes everyone’s heard so much about. After about an hour of waiting, my now husband but then boyfriend spotted something he said would “have to be that damn ghost’s eyes” & so we all look over to the edge of the wood line where he’d pointed & sure enough, there were 2 glowing green spots that were the distance apart a set of eyes’d be. After we stood there staring in silence, the “eyes” (idk what they are, maybe they’re ghost eyes, maybe there’s some other explanation, idk) rose up from where they were until they were up towards the tops of some pretty tall trees. I always have to tell this part bc so many times I’ve been told that what we witnessed was the reflection from what few “street lights” they’ve got dotted round the park bouncing off of deer’s eyes. Deer aren’t capable of climbing in a way that’d make how & where we watched those green spots elevate up to the tree tops. Not to mention, I’ve been an avid deer hunter before & I still get out there a few times each season so I’ve seen how light reflects off a deer’s eyes in the otherwise darkness of night multiple times & not once did it look similar enough to the glowing green orbs of light we saw down there in N. Georgia that summer night in my later teen yrs.

    I was born in Baton Rouge and have lived most of my life here but grew up on my dad’s family farm in Amite County Mississippi just a few miles over the MS/LA state line. The official name of the community is called Street but we always called it Ducktown as some of the earliest settlers in the area had the last name of Duck. I was always told to watch out for the “Ducktown Booger”! He will get you if you ain’t careful! I think it may come from the scream of a panther or technically the mountain lion. When I was in my twenties back around 1992-1993, I was driving on highway 67 just north of Clinton, LA and saw a mountain lion sniffing at a dead armadillo on the shoulder of the road. It was one huge cat tan in color with a tail just as long as its body. It was quite magnificent. I’ll never forget it.

    Probably my favorite piece of non-compliant lore for the skunk-ape is that both in the years and time of year when the sightings increased greatly was the time when my grandfather would say that he'd take a vacation to the Florida wilderness and camp out in un-owned forest property and going full wild-man mode, smelling like unwashed and dirty man and hollering at any hikers and chasing them around.
    Which basically means!!! There is a non-zero chance A sighting was actually just my gramps!😂

    Ran to my parents room, my dad ran outside with a gun and swore he saw something jump the fence (6 feet, higher than what a regular wolf could jump).
    He swore it was just a large wolf and the men went hunting for months in the area.

    These stories remind me of a book i read many years ago supposedly of all true stories. One happened during the war between the States. After a battle and the wounded and dead were on the battlefield a crawling disheveled figure with glowing green eyes crawled among the fallen bodies and was seen crawling on top of a body (presumably wounded but alive). It was assumed to be drinking the blood of the Soldier. This creature was never caught but was seen on various battlefield s all over the South. Has anyone else heard of this or read that book? It was decades ago but i still recall that horrible creature.

    Top tier as always! A good mix of different phenomena and types of stories. I wasn't aware of Old Green Eyes or the White Bluff Screamer; I'll definitely need to look further into those ones. And I live in Georgia, close to the Chickamauga Battlefield, so I should actually visit and look for Old Green Eyes myself. And, y'know, learn about the history and all.
    The Screamer... if there's any truth to the story, it's always possible that the witnesses were hearing an owl. There are owls that sound bizarrely close to human screams and probably have inspired ghost stories all over the world. Did an owl kill a whole family? That's a bit more on the debatable side.

      About the screamer, this really happened to me - I live in Massachusetts, I was out in my garage smoking a cigarette. I heard my cat outside, figured he was killing a chipmunk or something (this was at night btw) like he usually does. Then I hear a scream. Not a fox or owl or anything, this sounded like a man yelling "Raaaaahhh!" Like the most primal warcry you can imagine. It was LOUD. So I ran the fuck inside (the garage was being redone and didnt have a man door at the time, just a hole in the wall) and figured that was it. A while later I was calmed down and went out for a smoke again and something SLAMMED on the side of my garage, it was a HUGE bang. I just kinda put my butt out and walked back inside, I did not feel the need to go out and find what it was lol.
      Im not saying this was a paranormal encounter, but something that screams like a man was in my front yard getting pestered by my cat and screamed, then slammed on my garage when I went back out. It was probably looking at my through the window, thats why it slammed when I was out there, I have never thought about that until writing this right now and shit that is creepy lmao. I actually got a bit of a chill just now

    I’m a 52 yr old who’s lived in the Chattanooga area all my life and have been to Chickamauga Battlefield Park countless times. When my brother-in-law (a pretty serious fellow) was in his late teens, he and a friend were illegally in the park very late at night, hanging around the tower, and they both saw & heard what he swore “had to be” Old Green Eyes and it scared the absolute living 💩 out of them both.
    Personally, I strongly suspect there’s been so much blood spilled on the land, so much death, violence and suffering there, that it possible tore a hole in the veil between dimensions, and some extremely dark entities sometimes enter there to feed upon the loosh that stains the land to this very day.
    Also, we shouldn’t overlook the fact that the Trail Of Tears also went through this region, and there are stories about some very scary sightings in and around Red Clay State Park…

      @@lorchid23 I live in Birchwood myself, very close to the Cherokee Removal Memorial Park which has a gorgeous view from atop a very high bluff of where the Hiawassee River meets the Tennessee River. The entrance to that is just a few seconds before you get to the boat ramp that used to be our only way across the river to Dayton via Blythe’s Ferry. It was a major camp through there during the Trail of Tears & they were transported across the river via ferry there (ran by the Blythes even back then up until they built the bridge on Hwy 60 that opened in 93 or 94 when I was in my early teens) & there’s a lot of crazy things ppl have reported seeing, hearing, feeling up there. I myself go there several times a week sometimes but I’ve never had any odd experiences myself.
      That boat ramp the ferry used to use is also where that Meigs Co sheriff’s deputy recently drove into the river w a woman (who I knew pretty well) handcuffed in the backseat and both of them drowned. That entire story is very suspicious to me bc the area is not complicated to learn at all. There aren’t very many roads up this way. He arrested her on the Hwy 60 bridge between Birchwood & Dayton. To get to the Meigs Co jail which is about a 45-an hr drive from there, the quickest & easiest route would be 60 all the way to Hwy 58 where he’d make a left onto 58 headed north, stay on that for the 40ish min drive to Decatur & then it’s one turn onto the rd the jail is on then turn into the jail parking lot.
      Where he drove straight into the water w a handcuffed passenger stuck in the back of a police cruiser w no way to roll her windows down or open the door since neither can be done from the back (I understand why that is) was so close to the bridge & makes absolutely zero sense. Bc instead of going straight to 58, instead only about .25 mile after being off the bridge, he’d have to take a left onto a side road & about a mile down it, he could’ve went right which would’ve taken him down a very curvy backroad that would’ve got him to 58 hwy further north than the 58/60 junction so had he intended to do that, it makes no sense either bc it’s nowhere near to being faster due to how slow you have to drive bc of how the road is. He went left instead which leads me to believe he was going to that boat ramp which is always empty late at night, likely for some nefarious reason but that’s speculation on my part. That left should’ve set off alarm bells that he was heading right back to the river that he’d just left when leaving the bridge. It’s about a mile or just a bit less to the boat ramp which is fairly well lit up w street lights & some lights on the pier they’ve built there, not to mention his own headlights so how he couldn’t see that he was about to drive wide open straight into the river, I can not comprehend at all.
      I really don’t even have a point other than just wanting to discuss how crazy that horrible incident was for both of them I imagine. I do wonder every now & then if the area’s negative energy from all that’s occurred there might have had something to do with their tragic deaths. Obviously I have no way of figuring it out but it doesn’t prevent me from wondering.

    Funny thing about the Skunk Ape is that it seems to follow Bergmann's Rule, being smaller than the more northern Sasquatch. The alleged range of the animal has also been pushed south as population growth in the state applied pressure on the supposed creature. A good example of another (verified) animal that follows these same rules and trends is the Florida Panther. Whether real or not, it's funny how the S.A. follows rules concerning large mammals in general.

    Great video, I'm pretty sure the marfa lights are a refraction of headlights so in other words a mirage. It's just the perfect geography for this, it can't be Will-o-the-wisps because those only spawn from marshy conditions (caused by two byproducts created by anaerobic bacteria in the swamp muck) they're always a dull blueish color too. The only other ghost lights are caused by electricity in some way, shape or form.

      ❤ I live just a few miles away, and yes, most of the lights are a refraction of headlights as vehicles drive on the highway toward Presidio, Texas. The real Marfa Lights are seen, however. These are orbs that change color and separate I to smaller orbs. There have also been many recorded sightings from before the highway was built and way before vehicles were in the area. There are also stories that were told by the local Native Tribes of these sightings. That said, we are located in a dry desert, the Chihuahuan Desert. There are minerals and mining activity. In any case, these are a real phenomenon.
