Bell Witch
Posted: Sun Dec 24, 2006 2:08 pm
Hello,
How many of you have heard of the Bell Witch? This haunting is the only American haunting that has killed a man. Here is a description on the story from Wikipedia:
to have been experienced between 1817 and 1821 by the family of settler John Bell of Red River, Tennessee (Robertson County) .
It is commonly claimed[] that many of these events were witnessed and documented by hundreds of people — among them future President of the United States Andrew Jackson — and that consequently the episode represents one of the most famous and heavily documented instances of a haunting in history. However, a 2004 skeptical analysis concluded that there is in fact only one primary source for the legend, calling such claims into question.[citation needed]
The legend of the Bell Witch is thought[] to have been an influence on the film The Blair Witch Project
I myself have gone to this area; to the John Bell house and the Bell Witch cave. I must say I had my first paranormal encounter in the bell witch cave. It was very freaky...
Let's discuss,
Jesse
