I enjoyed hearing you read this ghost story alot What other real ghost storys do you know of ? and do you have any ghost that have tried to speak to you ?
I stumbled across this quite by accident and while I don't know what to make of it you have a great voice for doing this. I enjoyed it very, very much!
This story has always fasinated me, and I am so glad people agree with how terrible An American Haunting is comparred with the actual story. And hearing about how poltergeists (sp?) feed off kids 11-25 has made me think back to some of my friends in the past that have had similar encounters to the story of the bell witch. And how they can be made up by the mind, one of my friends that had those experiances had very strong emotions and psycic connections to the spiritual world.
Really interesting, cant remember hearing this story before but the name sounds a bit familiar. anyway, you told it really well, hope from more. I always been interested in stuff like these, always wanted to go on a ghost "hunt" cuz i'm still really skeptical to everything i hear even if i kinda believe in these stuff.
Have to subscribe, really wanna see more from you :)
My guess is that the mother was creating all the disturbances thru her own pycho-kenetic energy...she may have had some kind of mental disturbance, which is one of the documented elements that is known to coincide with poltergeist activity. She may have had unconscience hostility toward her husband and betsy.
I loved the story! Thanks so much for sharing :) I am a spirit keeper, and have tons of experience with various types of spirits.. I really don't think it was a "poltergeist" haunting them.. But it's all history now I guess :)
I just watched the movie again, and wanted to see what real stories were out there of the truth behind the Bell Witch and ran across your video's.
I'm actually part of a Ghost hunting group here in Georgia, but I'm always interested in more historical facts behind the properties we investigate and piecing together some of the mysteries.
Thanks again, and your kitty totally stole the show for a few moments in Part 1 :)
Anyone experiencing paranormal activity should take it very seriously. Poltergeist, spirits, ghosts or whatever you want to call them are nothing to play with. They are not your friends and by not acting, their activities will generally increase. Seek someone within the church who operates in the power and authority of Jesus Christ to get rid of them. If they're dead, let them stay dead and leave the living alone. Don't tolerate their torment, but don't try to get rid of them on your own.
Do you think that poltergeists could maybe pay attention to what you watch on the computer or something, I mean, I know they can understand so it doesn't seem that unbelievable. I was just saying this because I've come to believe a spirit has followed me. I've had experiences like whispers, fingers touching my face, and a computer game flew off the wall once. I brought this up because my hair was lightly tugged as I was watching this and suddenly my rubber band in my hair just snapped as well...
@AlleswirdGut8907 yes they can pay attention to what you watch on the computer even cause your computer to crash. You should take this very seriously before things get out of control. You really need to find the source of the haunting. Could it be the history of the house, did someone send the spirit to you (as in a curse or revenge), did you do something to open the door like ouija boards or the occult, was it passed down from the family (as in a generational curse), Seek help from the church.
You almost lost me in the beginning but I'm glad I watched. A little far fetched at times (the book)but good enough to appreciate the bare bones of the legend. 5-stars
these videos have made me even more interested in the Bell Witch story, i am a strong believer of the paranormal and appreciate you passion for knowledge in the subject, im only 15, but completely fascinated with the supernatural so thank you for sharing this information.
That was fantastic!! I really enjoyed the way you told the story. Did you notice your cat entering on que in the part one? How cute. Thank you for the post.
As I understood it we are supposed to have spirit protectors that are there to shield us from dark entities or malicious ghosts ( thats what I heard a medium say anyway) And I hoped it was true-I wonder why the Bells didnt have any ?I find your narration very entertaining-Please post more?
You know the movie may not be true but it did serve to peak my interest in the story. If not for the movie I would have never heard of the Bell Witch and so I think all variations of the story can be quite interesting. That being said I would not like to have an experience of my own and anytime I think I see, hear or feel some strange entity I leave the lights on and pray until I feel safe again. I'm interested in the spirit world but don't want any part of it until it's my time to pass on.
Interesting story for halloween activities and parties =). But why I stil don't get is what does this it is mentioned in all websites cave have to do with all this???There's even a tour to the cave in the official website for the well witch for this Octoberfest...
To just show up and say "i'm gone, won't be back for 7 whole yrs tells you something about the spirit world. Kate may have been sent on an asignment or summoned elsewhere in the world. Which she knew who take 7 yrs of it's time to complete. It's not to hard to imagine when you understand their are rules they must obey. Some all powerful being keeps everything in check. Good and bad.
To be at a mans funeral and still make fun of him after he is dead tells you several things. Kate wad right. When man dies. He goes nowhere. Ecl. 9:5. And that Kate really disliked John's lifestyle. He may have been very abusive with his family,friends and slaves. Unlike the move ( not at all based on the true story).
I live in Nashville, Tn. Was raised in Springfield. My father grew up in Adams,tn. I know this story well. About Andrew Jackson. After some hrs of the carage wheels not moving but showing no sign of being stuck or pinned. Kate said "ok, you can go now. And i'll see you all tonight". They have stuff on this every fall in Adams.
@Sweetazzmomo, Blair Witch is a completely made up story and about as real as Godzilla. It has nothing at all to do with the true account of the Bell Witch.
Thank-you so much for this fascinating recounting of "The Bell Witch" story. I studied this particular story as well.
As you have mentioned the movie was really a BIG let down. It's as if the powers that be, just didn't care enough to research this amazing story, for example the account of President Andrew Jackson experiencing this phenomena. How could they possibly not have that in the story? On and on...
So, enjoy the paranormal, but always keep God close to your heart John 3:16
Nice story, you tell it well. I love to suspend disbelief and go 'ghost hunting' as it were, but in reality I'm highly skeptical of the existence of 'spirits' of any kind. There can be a million witnesses, but if they're all superstitious people, any of them could mistake a brick falling down their chimney for a vengeful spirit. Keep up the fine work!
i have been experiencing activities in my house where things will disappear and then reappear in a different place. would you consider this to be poltergeist activity?
@BlackCatMambo I have this sort of thing happen from time to time too. What's really maddening is when 'missing' objects later appear in places that have already been searched. I'm waaaay past the age for poltergeist activity, but do have a four year old granddaughter who spends a lot of time at my home. Any thoughts?
@dglshenry4 Witches everywhere are persecuted and it's wrong. I think it's going to be a long time before people evolve enough to stop being so ignorant. :(
Lucy's surname was actually Williams and there is no proof of an incestuous relationship, you're right. i don't know who said that but that was way off the wall.
Lucy came from a wealthy family of planters and although she and John Bell grew up in the same town, they had no known relation.
I thought it was instead of spending one night in the Bell House? Anyway this was awesome thank you sooooo much for the story I think I will sub. I cant believe this is the first time watching you.
@penbus492 sorry my comment is not clear in the beginning. In the end Andrew Jackson's quote I heard was he'd rather face the entire british army then to spend one night in the Bell House. However that came from the documentary that is on the actual Hollywood movie. Not in any way as good as the truth. I find it amazing she was almost like family or something sometimes pulling the boys in the snow and telling them to hold tight. Wow, it is truely amazing and frightening as well.
thankyou for telling that story, i found it very interesting and shall investigate further, i personally liked the way you told the story i have a good imagination! : )
In our culture we address poltergiests as "Prthas" which are known as spirits that experienced disturbing or unusual deaths. The fact goes as when a person dies either with some anger or desire or if they die thinking of some unfinished business they are reborn as Prethas.
Sometimes Prethas sort of fade away when some-other spirit appears. Sometimes the old Pretha(if its a stronger spirit than the new one) would sort of combine and form a stronger force. THAT is the stage where u get solid happenings like moving objects. The pulling of hair means that the spirits used to be so attached to the ones that gets disturbed. For an example I can remember a similar pulling of hair incident by her dead husband who died with angry with his wife.
I personally believe the Bell witch was created by Betsy as a subconsciouse way of getting back at her father for raping her. She too was attacked because of her shame and embarasment of the whole situation. I know a guy that had a poltergiest, and it seems to me it haunted him because of his shame that he worshiped the devil when he was a kid. I really believe poltergiests are just hormones doing funny things with the human mind, which is strong enough to move objects.
I know what the Bible says about a person's soul after death going to heaven or hell.....there is no mention of a spirit lounge. At the same time, I don't know why a demon would appear to me for several seconds, and then dissapear. What is the gain ? The Bible does speak of spirits and not all books made it in the Bible so I try to keep a partially open mind.
I enjoyed this documentary and for the record, I am a Christian. In fact, I am a Baptist. When I was about 12, my deceased grandmother materialized in front of me, smiled, & faded away.
hello, may i say excellent telling of the Bell Witch, i also study poltergiests, ghosts, ect. in Gettysburg PA, the Civil War Battle (i am a historian aswell) i was at Devils den and it was like 100 degrees out and i suddenly walked thru a reall cold spot. anyway i read that Lucy was prone to real bad ear aches and one was so bad at the Bell house, the Witch said "oh Lucy, you poor poor thing" then Lucy had a sharp pain in her ear, the next day the ear ache was gone and she never had ear aches.
that story is f*ckin cool my sister and i listened to it together(she said she felt like a lil kid again having some1 read a story to her) thx for that.
my house has always been haunted. sometimes dangerously. everyone else has seen them but i've only just started seeing things lately. why? i don't want to see them.
I agree, the answer is leave. I had to leave a house once. I was 19, I was living with two other girls. It started small, noises, things turning on and off, then it started getting really weird, everyone kept seeing, hearing, feeling this cat, so would visitors. And then things started getting a little mor violent. It locked my cousin in her room, we tried to break down the door, she was about to climb out the window when the door swung open and I saw her across the room trying to climb out.
Why do people who live in haunted houses continue to stay there? My family has had brushes with these experiences before and if doors ever started to slam unexpectedly while I'm staying somewhere, damn the cost, I'd be gone.
wait so the bell witch is the daughter of the family? or the witch is the spirit controlling the daughter? or the witch is the spirit screwing everyone around? help i'm lost
Very well done. I've always enjoyed this ghost story, ever since I was little.
Have you thought about doing something like this again, but with the story being about Carla Moran, the woman from California who was "raped" by ghosts?
Look up The Entity on Wikipedia to get what I'm talking about.
I just wanted you to know I enjoyed all 4 parts of your videos!Your very good at narrateing!I realize you posted these a while back but I see people are still watching them!
I don't think there were many excorcists at that time in that part of the world. No one was really casting out demons except a few catholics and even there I think that was rare.
It seemed that nothing or no one could cast our or quiet the Bell Witch... it did as it pleased and pretty much said that God had allowed it to be there doing and saying the things it was doing and saying.
You narrate the story very well. You have a good presence on film. You have a sharp mind. You have a good voice & enunciate words very well. I enjoyed listening to you.
With your talents, do you think you can read up on the Tibetan protector DORJE SHUGDEN and the controversies surrounding him and give a narration like you did on the Bell witch?
Many ppl are interested and suffering DUE TO THE BAN.
Plse search into his websites on google/youtube please. Thanks
great story but I think thats all it was is a story. either it somewhat happend and was egzadurated or it was entirely fabrecated. although I belive in the spirit world, some of the incidents here seem unreal a better word is fake, made up sounds like someone was trying hard to sell their book
The Bell Witch saga is a matter of historical fact. It was witnessed by many many people from all over the country. People would travel long distances to come witness the spirit and it's activities. If it's a fabrication then it's one of staggering planning and steadfast cooperation of hundreds of people.
@TheBasicAnyway1991 , that's where you're very wrong. A word can have many meanings and meanings can change over the decades and centuries. Being a "witch" in the most common sense is a religious practice that pre-dates Christianity. Saying there's no such thing as witches is like saying there's no such thing as Lutherans. Back in the Bell Witch era the word "witch" was used to mean an interactive spirit and it was certainly "real" and has nothing to do with "Halloween witches".
@tushygalore Sorry sweetie, you've made a mistake. Lutherans are actual people who were part of an existing group, and witches have always been fairytale characters. There were never any "ancient witches" and there is none of that cute stuff recorded in history. Paranoid schizophrenics often write books and articles "planting" imaginary evidence in the past, and publishers are obliged to publish them because they are fictional works. There were never any real witches, or any toothfairy either.
some rules of the universe in general if your doing something to make someones life better such as you bring life to a person and are being harrassed by a spirit how can the spirit hurt you when you have all that extra karma floating around.. unless that person you helped gets hurt..
Thanks for posting this. I take the skeptical position on this and other ghost stories, but that doesn't keep me from suspending my disbelief long enough to really enjoy them. I find folklore really fascinating, and this seems to be especially good. Thanks again for sharing.
I definitely found this interesting. :) I'm interested in the real stories behind the version that Hollywood or other sources decide to tell or fabricate.
Hi, I'm the woman behind this account. It's been so long since I made this video that I don't really remember where I got the images or what they were of. I would think that they were supposed to be of the Bell house etc but who knows. Sorry.
The drawing is supposed to be Betsy Bell and it appeared in M.V. Ingram's 1894 book titled *Authenticated History of the Bell Witch.* The drawing, however, does not fit the description of Betsy in the book as she is described as having blonde hair. While Ingrams book is not the first printed mention of the Bell Witch, it was the first detailed written account and was the first to publish the memoirs of Richad Williams Bell who allegedly wrote those memoirs in 1846.
While I enjoyed the presentation from BCM, no copy of a newspaper from the time can be produced that mentions the story nor did Andrew Jackson write anything about such an encounter. The oldest printed mention of the Bell Witch legend we have dates back to 1886 in Goodspeed's History of Tennessee.
I think it is one of the most robust ghostly tales to be found. I think it is utterly frightening if one thinks of what it would be like to be attacked by something invisible. Do I believe it happened as a historical fact? No.
You mean like a two headed dog turning Aberdeen the slave into a mule? The entire story stretches credulity past the breaking point. The question should be what evidence exists that the story is true? We have not one single word about it dating from the time it allegedly happened despite the tale's insistance that people came from all over the country every single day for three years. Elias Fort DeLoach was the clerk who wrote all minutes for the Red River Church from 1817-1821...
.. and while John Bell is mentioned 50 times in the minutes not once do the minutes mention anything strange at all happening at the Bell home or with members of the congregation. It mentions petty arguments had between spouses but no mention of the "greatest unexplained phenomenon of all time"? The story of Andrew Jackson is purely a fabrication because his itinerary for 1819 is accounted for. The whole story came to us filtered through one man (Ingram) and he was a man....
... who was in dire financial distress. He was also a member of a liars club and the details of that will be forthcoming in a book written by folklorist, Jesse Glass. Uhm, the reasons are many but the maxim is "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." The story is not in need of disproving but, rather, is still in need of proving since some (very few) claim it happened.
You have great points about what evidence points to the story.I didn't know the Andrew Jackson part was fabriacted. What about the other supernatural phenomenon in history do you think it was made up? Like Aliens @ Area 51 or the Amityville Horror.
wow.. this was so more intresting than the ones i found on the web.. thank u for taking the time to tell the real story.. soo much more diff. than the one from the movie one..
Loved your piece on the Bell Witch. I don't know if other's have said, but Betsy was often the shortened form of Elizabeth. Also members of my family have had copies of books about the Bell Witch and all of their houses have burned to the ground, this has happend at least 3 times that I know of and that book seems to be the only common element to each of the fires. Also having had family in TN many had gone to visit the site of the old farm. While there they've taken pics and none have developed
It's nice to have a mystery, but the incest therory works. IF the PG energy is Betsy projecting anger she can't express. There is no proof of the incest, but what proof do we have of the bell witch? No one is going to give a testimonial of incest in the 18th century. The activity coincides with sexual stages, puberty, engagement, and the death of her father. the activity begins in adolescence, as molesting often does, becomes more angry as John gets weaker until revenge when John dies.
thank you very much for telling this storey i find it so intresting. and i beleve its true a story its scary how the reality of the world is. that family must of went threw a lot thank you BLACK CAT MOMBA NICE WORK
My husband is so into haunted places. At my grandparents house, he said there are three ghosts in the basement. two adults and a child. one of the adults hates men. there is a guy ghost upstairs that might be associated with one of the females that only tries to harm women in the house. i never understood why i never felt comfortable at my grandma's.
I'm so sorry that I'm 6 months late with this but... I'm glad you enjoyed the series, thanks for commenting.
Max was a boy I went to High School with and my first love. He died when he was 17 (and I was 16) but still seems to be with me as my protector and a constant source of love in my life. :)
I believe the Bible, but also know for a fact that not all human and possibly animal spirits leave immediately following their demise. If you live in the South, these areas are ripe with spirits even from the Civil War era. Everyone in my immediate family has experienced "our" spirit since 1980s.
wow that was so cool do people still sell that book it sounded cool and how much would it cost yeah i saw the last hafe of the movie on the 26th of October so i wanted to know more thx alot by
That was very interesting & I'm glad someone has made it known that the movie is nowhere near the full truth. I'm a Bell & have been wanting to go to the Bell Witch cave for a year or so but just haven't.
I was looking up some references for the Bell Witch, and found out that Betsy and Elizabeth are both the same person. You brought the question up earlier when you said that there was a hyphen after Betsy and then the name Elizabeth; you didn't know if it was two people or the same person. You did go on to say that maybe Betsy had a sister of the same age and that was her name, but Elizabeth is actually Betsy's real name. Betsy is just her nickname.
I really enjoyed your videos on the Bell Witch! It's the best from the supernatural realm that I've heard on youtube! I hope you're making some more-perhaps on other (historic) supernatural "cases". :)
I watched all of your videos on the Bell Witch. It was really cool. I loved them. I am very interested in it now. And I am going to do some research of my own. I hope you make somemore videos.
I dunno know who you are but your far by the best story teller I've ever did hear about, your not like the others that like walk around screaming bout everything and such.
mail me about the ghost calling her mommy that sounds so cool, and maby not all bad. was there anything sad that happened in her house? There was a similar thing that happened to a girl in my town. guess what. the house burned and is waiting to be demolished, a reason for the fire was never found by the police, and a few weeks before, there 16 year old daughter and a few of her friends were playing with a ouija board, and she told me it said some realy bad stuff. i'm glad you like my post.
hi i am from the uk i like the way u tell the story in the town i come from we had a witch case but you cant find what happan to the witch most like she was killed
well i tried t set up an ouji board with some of my friends, and nothing happened. I know we were doing it right, because it worked at her house. more and more i've been hearing something that sounds like a sharp intake of breath.
I enjoyed hearing you read this ghost story alot What other real ghost storys do you know of ? and do you have any ghost that have tried to speak to you ?

Nice story, you tell it well. I love to suspend disbelief and go 'ghost hunting' as it were, but in reality I'm highly skeptical of the existence of 'spirits' of any kind. There can be a million witnesses, but if they're all superstitious people, any of them could mistake a brick falling down their chimney for a vengeful spirit. Keep up the fine work!

@konjeek , sounds like possible poltergeist activity... or maybe you have an animal in your house who's taking them off to play with.

@BlackCatMambo I have this sort of thing happen from time to time too. What's really maddening is when 'missing' objects later appear in places that have already been searched. I'm waaaay past the age for poltergeist activity, but do have a four year old granddaughter who spends a lot of time at my home. Any thoughts?

Lucy's surname was actually Williams and there is no proof of an incestuous relationship, you're right. i don't know who said that but that was way off the wall.
Lucy came from a wealthy family of planters and although she and John Bell grew up in the same town, they had no known relation.

@penbus492 sorry my comment is not clear in the beginning. In the end Andrew Jackson's quote I heard was he'd rather face the entire british army then to spend one night in the Bell House. However that came from the documentary that is on the actual Hollywood movie. Not in any way as good as the truth. I find it amazing she was almost like family or something sometimes pulling the boys in the snow and telling them to hold tight. Wow, it is truely amazing and frightening as well.

chamath1985 1 year ago
In our culture we address poltergiests as "Prthas" which are known as spirits that experienced disturbing or unusual deaths. The fact goes as when a person dies either with some anger or desire or if they die thinking of some unfinished business they are reborn as Prethas.
chamath1985 1 year ago
Sometimes Prethas sort of fade away when some-other spirit appears. Sometimes the old Pretha(if its a stronger spirit than the new one) would sort of combine and form a stronger force. THAT is the stage where u get solid happenings like moving objects. The pulling of hair means that the spirits used to be so attached to the ones that gets disturbed. For an example I can remember a similar pulling of hair incident by her dead husband who died with angry with his wife.

I personally believe the Bell witch was created by Betsy as a subconsciouse way of getting back at her father for raping her. She too was attacked because of her shame and embarasment of the whole situation. I know a guy that had a poltergiest, and it seems to me it haunted him because of his shame that he worshiped the devil when he was a kid. I really believe poltergiests are just hormones doing funny things with the human mind, which is strong enough to move objects.

I know what the Bible says about a person's soul after death going to heaven or hell.....there is no mention of a spirit lounge. At the same time, I don't know why a demon would appear to me for several seconds, and then dissapear. What is the gain ? The Bible does speak of spirits and not all books made it in the Bible so I try to keep a partially open mind.

hello, may i say excellent telling of the Bell Witch, i also study poltergiests, ghosts, ect. in Gettysburg PA, the Civil War Battle (i am a historian aswell) i was at Devils den and it was like 100 degrees out and i suddenly walked thru a reall cold spot. anyway i read that Lucy was prone to real bad ear aches and one was so bad at the Bell house, the Witch said "oh Lucy, you poor poor thing" then Lucy had a sharp pain in her ear, the next day the ear ache was gone and she never had ear aches.

Ros3anna 2 years ago
I agree, the answer is leave. I had to leave a house once. I was 19, I was living with two other girls. It started small, noises, things turning on and off, then it started getting really weird, everyone kept seeing, hearing, feeling this cat, so would visitors. And then things started getting a little mor violent. It locked my cousin in her room, we tried to break down the door, she was about to climb out the window when the door swung open and I saw her across the room trying to climb out.

I don't think there were many excorcists at that time in that part of the world. No one was really casting out demons except a few catholics and even there I think that was rare.
It seemed that nothing or no one could cast our or quiet the Bell Witch... it did as it pleased and pretty much said that God had allowed it to be there doing and saying the things it was doing and saying.

The Bell Witch saga is a matter of historical fact. It was witnessed by many many people from all over the country. People would travel long distances to come witness the spirit and it's activities. If it's a fabrication then it's one of staggering planning and steadfast cooperation of hundreds of people.

@tushygalore There is no such thing as witches, honey. They're just halloween monsters.
TheBasicAnyway1991 10 months ago
@TheBasicAnyway1991 , that's where you're very wrong. A word can have many meanings and meanings can change over the decades and centuries. Being a "witch" in the most common sense is a religious practice that pre-dates Christianity. Saying there's no such thing as witches is like saying there's no such thing as Lutherans. Back in the Bell Witch era the word "witch" was used to mean an interactive spirit and it was certainly "real" and has nothing to do with "Halloween witches".
tushygalore 9 months ago
@tushygalore Sorry sweetie, you've made a mistake. Lutherans are actual people who were part of an existing group, and witches have always been fairytale characters. There were never any "ancient witches" and there is none of that cute stuff recorded in history. Paranoid schizophrenics often write books and articles "planting" imaginary evidence in the past, and publishers are obliged to publish them because they are fictional works. There were never any real witches, or any toothfairy either.
TheBasicAnyway1991 9 months ago
some rules of the universe in general if your doing something to make someones life better such as you bring life to a person and are being harrassed by a spirit how can the spirit hurt you when you have all that extra karma floating around.. unless that person you helped gets hurt..

tushygalore 3 years ago
The drawing is supposed to be Betsy Bell and it appeared in M.V. Ingram's 1894 book titled *Authenticated History of the Bell Witch.* The drawing, however, does not fit the description of Betsy in the book as she is described as having blonde hair. While Ingrams book is not the first printed mention of the Bell Witch, it was the first detailed written account and was the first to publish the memoirs of Richad Williams Bell who allegedly wrote those memoirs in 1846.
TheGiggler1 3 years ago
While I enjoyed the presentation from BCM, no copy of a newspaper from the time can be produced that mentions the story nor did Andrew Jackson write anything about such an encounter. The oldest printed mention of the Bell Witch legend we have dates back to 1886 in Goodspeed's History of Tennessee.
TheGiggler1 3 years ago
Thanks for clarfiying what do you think of the story?
lshield1 3 years ago
I think it is one of the most robust ghostly tales to be found. I think it is utterly frightening if one thinks of what it would be like to be attacked by something invisible. Do I believe it happened as a historical fact? No.
TheGiggler1 3 years ago
Why don't you believe it happened as a historical fact? Do you think some of it was blown out of proportion?
lshield1 3 years ago
You mean like a two headed dog turning Aberdeen the slave into a mule? The entire story stretches credulity past the breaking point. The question should be what evidence exists that the story is true? We have not one single word about it dating from the time it allegedly happened despite the tale's insistance that people came from all over the country every single day for three years. Elias Fort DeLoach was the clerk who wrote all minutes for the Red River Church from 1817-1821...
TheGiggler1 3 years ago
.. and while John Bell is mentioned 50 times in the minutes not once do the minutes mention anything strange at all happening at the Bell home or with members of the congregation. It mentions petty arguments had between spouses but no mention of the "greatest unexplained phenomenon of all time"? The story of Andrew Jackson is purely a fabrication because his itinerary for 1819 is accounted for. The whole story came to us filtered through one man (Ingram) and he was a man....
TheGiggler1 3 years ago
... who was in dire financial distress. He was also a member of a liars club and the details of that will be forthcoming in a book written by folklorist, Jesse Glass. Uhm, the reasons are many but the maxim is "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." The story is not in need of disproving but, rather, is still in need of proving since some (very few) claim it happened.
TheGiggler1 3 years ago
You have great points about what evidence points to the story.I didn't know the Andrew Jackson part was fabriacted. What about the other supernatural phenomenon in history do you think it was made up? Like Aliens @ Area 51 or the Amityville Horror.

Also members of my family have had copies of books about the Bell Witch and all of their houses have burned to the ground, this has happend at least 3 times that I know of and that book seems to be the only common element to each of the fires. Also having had family in TN many had gone to visit the site of the old farm. While there they've taken pics and none have developed

It's nice to have a mystery, but the incest therory works. IF the PG energy is Betsy projecting anger she can't express. There is no proof of the incest, but what proof do we have of the bell witch? No one is going to give a testimonial of incest in the 18th century. The activity coincides with sexual stages, puberty, engagement, and the death of her father. the activity begins in adolescence, as molesting often does, becomes more angry as John gets weaker until revenge when John dies.

I was looking up some references for the Bell Witch, and found out that Betsy and Elizabeth are both the same person. You brought the question up earlier when you said that there was a hyphen after Betsy and then the name Elizabeth; you didn't know if it was two people or the same person. You did go on to say that maybe Betsy had a sister of the same age and that was her name, but Elizabeth is actually Betsy's real name. Betsy is just her nickname.
Just thought I'd clear that up. :)
