Bell Witch - True Ghost Story
Copyright 2006 DeWayne Strickland
The Bell Witch is based on true events that will send a cold
chill down your spine and make the hair on the back of your neck
stand up. When you try to sleep tonight, just remember that I
warned you about the Bell Witch.
Just like in the movie "The Ring", once you look into the
darkness, it looks back at you. Your life will never be the same
once you know about the Bell Witch and your thirst to know more
is never quenched. Are you ready for a "True Ghost Story"?
According to the Legend, John Bell was the only person
recognized by any state to have been killed by a spirit. The
Legend dates back to the time of General Andrew Jackson, in the
early 1800s. The story has a special interest for me, because I
live in Tennessee. Nice to know the Bell Witch is not too far
away!
How would you like to visit the Bell Witch location in
Tennessee? Bring your camera, because you never know what you
will see. You can even visit the hidden Bell Witch cave, which
lies on the property of the ill-fated Bell family.
Imagine being home alone at night and the lights have been
dimmed. Your relaxing and all of a sudden you hear a rapping
noise. Next, you hear knocks and scratching sounds, and no one
is there. Have you ever heard unusual noises while you where
sleeping? Maybe some breathing in the corner of your room and no
one was there?
You look into the darkness and see what you think is a human
figure, or is it? It gets very cold and you feel this dark
forceful presence upon you. You know your not alone; You begin
to think your mind is playing tricks on you. Is it all in your
head?
You see a shadow out of the corner of your eye, and you know not
to be so curious. It realizes you are afraid and it can smell
your fear. You want to run, but there is no where to run. You
want to scream, but it is too late.
The Bell family knew what terror was and even Mr. Bell tried to
keep it a secret. It was to be exposed by the Bell Witch! She
had to make her voice heard and physically attacked a family to
make her point!
According to the Bell Witch Legend, The spirit of Kate Batts
terrorized the Bell family. Sticking the daughter with pins and
pulling her hair. There were physical manifestations and bed
sheets flying off the beds. Again, whats makes this chilling, is
that it is not some fictional story or one of Stephen Kings best
sellers, it is a "True Ghost Story".
The Bell Witch legend is a part of history and if you are as
curious as I am, you will seek more answers to this "True Ghost
Story". Perhaps a visit to Adams, Tennessee, why not see if you
can touch the presence of the Bell Witch's eerie past, and if
fate allows maybe more.
The new owners have reported strange ghostly shapes and have
heard unexplained sounds. Imagine taking a tour and hearing
eerie sounds coming from the hidden corners of the cave. Picture
yourself with a camera taking pictures and you just happen to
capture a shadowy figure on your camera.
Just think, you could experience the past of this "True Ghost
Story". Imagine the look on your friends' faces, when you tell
this story around a camp fire.
There is a road sign about the hauntings located on Highway 41.
