Scotts Bluff National Monument is described as a haunted location where a female apparition in white is said to appear at the base of the bluffs around midnight at the end of July or early August. Some visitors report hearing faint gunshots and a general feeling of unease or creepiness when visiting the site, which is open to the public. The stories are linked to the monument's name, which comes from fur trapper Hiram Scott, who died there in 1828 after being deserted by his companions. A woman in white is said to wander the base of the bluff late at night, especially near the end of July and early August. Visitors have reported hearing faint gunshots and experiencing strange feelings or a sense of being unsettled after parking their cars there. Some visitors have a heightened sense of creepiness after reading about the reported hauntings, according to one reviewer.
