Chestnut Hill is a desirable neighborhood in the deliciously weird city of Philadelphia. But there’s very, very old American history there, too – so is it all that big a surprise that a mansion there is haunted?

In Dickson County, Tennessee, there have long been rumors surrounding a certain area of what is now part of Montgomery Bell State Park—a place where it’s rumored werewolves once stalked 19th-century settlers. Could those tales have any connection to another Tennessee legend, of the White Bluff Screamer?
