 In the early 1800s, the Bell family moved from North Carolina to the Red River in Tennessee and built themselves a farm on over 1,000 acres of land. It was 1817 when a string of bizarre occurrences gave birth to the infamous urban legend known as the Bell Witch. John Bell, the patriarch of the family, first spotted supernatural signs in the shape of a strange dog-like creature in his cornfield. Some in the local community stated that the spirit was that of the Bell Witch, a woman who'd been buried on the Bell farm, it had been disturbed when they moved there. In December of 1820, John Bell mysteriously passed away, supposedly at the hand of the Bell Witch. His cause of death was never determined and he simply dropped dead. Then, just as mysteriously as the Bell Witch had appeared, she disappeared and only paranormal stories remained in her place. The family were finally freed of the curse and some still say the scary urban legends are mostly true.
