The Sawmill Specter originated from a tragic accident at an old Beacon Hill sawmill, where a worker was consumed by the machinery during a violent storm. Now, its restless spirit haunts the course, drawn to the disc golf activity that disturbs its solitary mountain domain.

The specter is intangible and can phase through trees and structures, emitting a low hum mimicking saw blades. It manifests as a cold mist that chills the air and can briefly solidify to move discs or create wind gusts. Its presence causes electronic devices to malfunction and amplifies the sound of chainsaws in the distance.

It serves as an environmental manipulator, disorienting players by shifting fog patterns and altering disc flight paths near abandoned sawmill sites, thereby increasing the psychological tension without direct physical confrontation.
