The Bell Witch Anthology: The Essential Texts of America's Most Famous Ghost Story

(2 customer reviews)

"Bell Witch: To the north was the farm of John Bell, an early, prominent settler from North Carolina. According to legend, his family was harried during the early 19th century by the famous Bell Witch. She kept the household in turmoil, assaulted Bell and drove off Betsy Bell's suitor. Even Andrew Jackson, who came to investigate, retreated to Nashville after his coach wheels stopped mysteriously. Many visitors to the house saw the furniture crash about them and heard her shriek, sing and curse." Although these words on Historical Marker 3C 38 call the Bell Witch a legend, many hundreds of visitors to the Bell homestead in Robertson County, Tennessee, witnessed the incredible feats of this spirit called "Kate" over the course of three years. For the first time, the three original texts that chronicle her reign have been brought together in one comprehensive story.

The Bell Hauntingly Tolls Nov 01, 2008
By Bicycle Day
Editor Nick Moretti collects the works of several researchers/writers in the mysterious and chilling tale of a poltergeist that allegedly terrorized a family in Robertson County, near Adams, Tennessee....and may still be leaving some very haunting reminders today of its power.

From 1817-1820, John Bell, Sr., and his family had their lives slowly ripped apart by this "witch," which started when Bell shot at - but failed to hit - an "animal" that had a head of a rabbit and a body of a dog. This led to sightings of an apparition, bizarre assaults on family members by an invisible force and a voice which became more defiant, seemingly feeding off of fear.

In December 1820 Bell, Sr., died after ingesting a liquid from a strange vial. It was a poison and - during the funeral - it was reported that the Bell Witch could be heard taunting the pastor. The spirit - based on a threat it gave - returned to the property in 1935 and continues to have a ghostly presence.

The anthology is an excellent overview that covers a number of topics concerning this bell that eerily tolls in mysterious ways.

I loved it! Jul 01, 2008
By Gwen Ellison "Stacey"
I really enjoyed this book because it gave a lot of information from several different authors. Where one author may have been vague about something , another would fill in the blanks. I would recommend this book if you want a full account of the happenings of the " Bell Witch."
