Episode description
The Bell Witch is a long time legend of the American South. From 1817 to 1821 a supernatural entity is said to have hounded the family of John Bell, a local farmer, leading to his death. The tale became so famous that Andrew Jackson is said to have stayed in the Bell home for a night in order to investigate. Was the witch a supernatural phenomenon or the culmination of tensions and abuse in the family? Take a listen and see what you think.
