The Legend of the Bell Witch

In the heart of Appalachia, a chilling tale emerges from the early 1800s—one that intertwines the lives of the Bell family with a mysterious and malevolent spirit.

Join us as we tell the haunting tale of the Bell Witch, a supernatural entity that tormented John Bell and his family after they settled in Adams, Tennessee. From strange apparitions and eerie sounds to physical afflictions and ghostly encounters, the Bells faced a relentless onslaught of terror that left them desperate for answers.
