In Missouri they call it a Gallywampus; in Arkansas it’s the Whistling Wampus; in Appalachia it’s the just a plain old Wampus (or Wampas) cat. A half-dog, half-cat creature that can run erect or on all fours, it’s rumored to be seen just after dark or right before dawn all throughout the Appalachians. But that’s about all everyone agrees on. In non-Native American cultures it’s a howling, evil creature, with yellow eyes that can supposedly pierce the hearts and souls of those unfortunate enough to cross its path, driving them to the edge of sanity.

In the 1930s, the Greenbrier Lodge in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, catered exclusively to wealthy travelers—hunters and tourists alike—from all over the southeast. The legend goes that, back in the day, a young woman named Lydia was staying at the Greenbrier Lodge for an extended visit. A beautiful young girl, Lydia was absolutely head over heels in love with a young gentleman from nearby, and they were engaged to be wed one fine day in the mountains. When her wedding day came, the beautiful Lydia went to the church, resplendent in her beautiful white gown, and waited at the altar for her betrothed. She was so excited—ah, to be young and totally in love and about to be wed to the one with which you are prepared to spend the rest of your life!

One of the oldest legends of the Smoky Mountains is the legend of Spearfinger. Spearfinger is a Cherokee legend that lived along the eastern side of Tennessee and western North Carolina in the Great Smoky Mountains. Her Cherokee name, U’tlun’ta, translate to ‘she had it sharp’. It's talking about her sharp finger on her right hand, which give her the name Spearfinger. Sometimes she was referred to by her other Cherokee name Nûñ'yunu'ï . This means ‘Stone dress’, a name taken from her stone-like skin.

The history surrounding Tennessee’s haunted plantations and Antebellum homes is soaked in blood and mistreatment. The shadow this time left behind on the United States will never truly fade away. Hundreds of years of suffering, heartbreak, and pain envelop these plantations, as thousands of individuals were forcibly removed from their homes and forced to work the lands and farms here. At one point in time, a single person in Tennessee owned over 300 slaves, with 42 more people owning 100 or more. With such dark pasts, it would be almost impossible for these places to have come out unscathed. Read on below to find out who (or what) still wanders the acres of the haunted Wheatlands Plantation.

The Samuel Cleage House dates back to around 1826. Local residents know it colloquially as “The Clegg House.”

Locals gave accounts of noises and voices that have caused the inability to hold tennants in the past. Now, the building is gutted and going thru possible restoration. Summary of events: Plenty of EVPs, Mist, Unexplained lights, heavy EMF readings and partial possessions. Multiple witnesses can attest to every claim.

In Michigan folklore, the Michigan Dogman was allegedly witnessed in 1887 in Wexford County, Michigan. The creature is described as a seven-foot tall, blue-eyed, or amber-eyed bipedal canine-like animal with the torso of a man and a fearsome howl that sounds like a human scream. According to legends, the Michigan Dogman appears in a ten-year cycle that falls on years ending in 7.[1] Sightings have been reported in several locations throughout Michigan, primarily in the northwestern quadrant of the Lower Peninsula. In 1987, the legend of the Michigan Dogman gained popularity when disc jockey Steve Cook at WTCM-FM recorded a song about the creature and its reported sightings.

Located just off Big Elm Road in Kingsport, Tennessee, in USA, rumors of murder, death and satanic rituals surround the tunnel. The locals feel that it is a place of evil, that should be avoided at all costs.

Some speculate that the White Screamer is an exotic animal that escaped when a traveling circus was passing through town. Scared of the repercussions, when they could not quickly restrain the beast they opted to leave it and hurried to the next town. Others say there is no early creature that could cause the damage of the White Screamer and instead suggest that it is an unearthly apparition that wanders aimlessly. Others say it is a banshee that emits the horrible cries.

The White Screamer haunts the White Bluff area, often terrifying hikers and hunters who stumble upon it. Even drivers and walkers have had experiences with the strange creature. They all describe the same type of beast. It is usually hunched over, but can stand completely erect. Often it is found hunting or discovered after the deaths of dogs or calves.
