On the podcast, we have covered the Salem Witch Trials and other witch hunts in America and Europe. When we originally produced the Witches in America episode, we touched on a couple of the witch hunts that took place before the Salem outbreak, some Native American witches and then a couple of infamous witches, the River Witch of Marietta and the Bell Witch. We are still going to include some of that here, but the witch hunt material got a more thorough treatment in Episode 307, so we pulled that out. This Redux will explore some other witch narratives from America that we didn't cover before and update the material on the Bell Witch. Most of the people accused of witchcraft in the past, weren't actually witches, but that does not mean that there were not or are not really witches in America. Witchcraft has long been practiced in America and Wicca is an accepted religious practice in our modern era. Join us as we explore witches in America.

Set in 1817 Adams, Tennessee, sinister events plagued the Bell family on their Red River farm. From sightings of bizarre creatures—like a dog with a rabbit's head—to violent knocks, whispers, and physical attacks by an entity claiming to be “Old Kate,” the Bell Witch terrorized the family, targeting patriarch John Bell Sr. and young Betsy. The episode explores the entity's malevolent powers, including shapeshifting, voice mimicry, and even a mysterious vial linked to John's death in 1820. But the mystery didn't end there as the enduring mystery of the Bell Witch Cave continues, a modern hotspot for paranormal activity, and debate theories ranging from a vengeful spirit to a poltergeist born of trauma. Join Gary & GoldieAnn as they venture Within the Mists of Tennessee to dive into the haunting legend of the Bell Witch, one of America's most infamous paranormal tales.

Two hundred years ago, a quiet Tennessee farm became the center of one of America's most terrifying hauntings. The Bell family was stalked, tormented, and ultimately broken by a voice in the dark that claimed to want one thing, the death of their patriarch. What followed remains the only time in U.S. history that a ghost was blamed for murder.

Just off the old Natchez Trace, in the quiet woods of Tennessee, stands a broken marble column marking the grave of Meriwether Lewis. The monument was meant to honor one of America's greatest explorers, but its shattered form also reflects a life cut short under circumstances that remain unsolved more than two centuries later. In 1804, Lewis and Clark led the Corps of Discovery across thousands of miles of uncharted wilderness. They mapped rivers, documented new species, and forged fragile relationships with Native Nations, returning home as national heroes. Yet only a few years later, while traveling east on government business, Lewis stopped at a frontier inn called Grinder's Stand. Before dawn, gunfire rang out. By morning, the celebrated explorer was dead. From the start, the explanation was contested. Some, including Thomas Jefferson and William Clark, believed Lewis had taken his own life after years of depression, financial trouble, and lingering illness. Others pointed to inconsistencies in the testimonies, the absence of eyewitnesses, and the violence of the scene to argue that he was murdered. Over the years, theories have ranged from robbery on a lawless road to political assassination, while modern scholars have even suggested his death may have been linked to malaria or another untreated disease. In this episode, we retrace Lewis's final journey along the Natchez Trace and examine the testimonies left behind. We look at the evidence for suicide, the motives for murder, and the generations of speculation that have kept this mystery alive. We also consider the more recent efforts by Lewis's descendants to exhume his body, hoping that modern science might finally answer the question that has haunted his legacy: how did Meriwether Lewis really die?

Send us a textAt what point does “legend” become “fact”? Is there any evidence that the legend of the Bell Witch was concocted to cover for something more…nefarious? We don't know what strange girls in green dresses hanging about in trees showing off her ankles has to do with two headed dogs, but boy howdy there were some strange goings on in central Tennessee in the 19th century. Witch or no witch. And, by the eternals, what does Bekah's 2nd or maybe 3rd least favorite U.S. President have to do with any of this?!

In this episode of the Say What Again Billy Podcast, we're back and getting you ready for everything creepy and paranormal this October. From the terrifying legend of the Bell Witch to the haunted halls of the Winchester Mystery Mansion, we're setting the stage for what's to come.Plus, Bobby fills in for Joey with a personal story on how he first became intrigued — and fascinated — by the world of the paranormal.
The story of the Bell Witch stands as America's most vicious haunting—a tale so disturbing it's hard to believe it happened at all. Long before ghost hunting apps and night vision cameras, this malevolent spirit terrorized a frontier family with shocking physical power and psychological cruelty.When respected farmer John Bell spotted a strange creature in his Tennessee cornfield in 1817, he couldn't have imagined it would lead to years of torment. What began as mysterious knocking quickly escalated into something unprecedented—an entity that could speak, recite scripture, and physically attack both family members and visitors. The Bells' teenage daughter Betsy endured the worst—being pinched, slapped, and having her hair pulled until she broke off her engagement, seemingly the entity's goal all along.What makes this case extraordinary isn't just the physical phenomena but the intelligence behind it. "Kate," as the entity called herself, displayed preferences and vendettas. She tormented John Bell relentlessly while showing kindness only to his wife Lucy. She quoted Bible passages that stumped ministers and revealed private secrets that sent visitors fleeing. Even future President Andrew Jackson allegedly encountered her power when his wagon wheels mysteriously locked on approach to the Bell property. After witnessing his men being tormented, Jackson reportedly declared he'd "rather fight the British than the Bell Witch."The haunting culminated with John Bell's death in 1820, when a mysterious black liquid appeared in the medicine cabinet—liquid that killed a cat instantly when tested. As mourners gathered for Bell's funeral, Kate's mocking laughter echoed through the cemetery, a final act of cruelty that cemented this case as uniquely malevolent. Whether demonic entity, vengeful spirit, or something else entirely, the Bell Witch remains paranormal history's most compelling mystery. Next time you hear knocking at night, remember—it could be more than just the wind.Thank you for listening to the Paranormal Peeps Podcast.

In the early 1800s, a Tennessee family claimed their farm was under siege by a relentless spirit. Known as the Bell Witch, this entity tormented the Bell family with eerie voices, violent attacks, and chilling predictions—so infamous that even President Andrew Jackson is said to have taken notice. In this episode of The Dark Record, I'm joined by special guest Meghan Cunningham as we revisit one of America's most famous hauntings. Was it folklore exaggerated over time, a case of mass hysteria, or something genuinely supernatural? Join us as we dive deep into the legend of the Bell Witch and explore why her story continues to haunt Tennessee to this day.
This week on Eavesdroppin', Geordie & Michelle discuss witches, bitches, ghosts, aliens and UFOs...In a century long long ago, Geordie looks at the last witch burned alive in Ireland - the irrepressible Bridget Cleary. Young, smart and entrepreneurial, Bridget was a bit of a live wire in her small rural town. No harm, no foul, you'd think, except when she fell ill at the age of 26, her husband claimed she'd been overtaken by a fairy and burned her alive. Nasty. Listen now for the details! Geordie also examines the naughty Bell Witch from Tennessee, also known as Kate, who in the early 1800s, haunted, tormented and terrorised the John Bell family with tragic consequences. They did have slaves, so, you know. Listen now to hear the story!Michelle follows with two UFO stories, beginning with an Aussie sighting in Western Australia. In late 1991 at the Harold E Holt naval base in Exmouth, Annie Farinaccio had been partying at the base and stayed there too late to get home safely. Cadging a lift to Exmouth with two police officers, she made the 5km journey home with them, expecting an uneventful ride. Except the officers saw something weird in the sky - and it wasn't the first time! Listen now to hear what happened next! She follows with another UFO story - this time, in Varginha, Brazil, when three young girls spotted an oily alien with three lumps on its head in some weeds. Was it an alien? A stray dog? Or a homeless person? You decide!So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week's episode, plus chat about Terrence Stamp, Dirk Bogarde, Charlotte Rampline, telly recs and more, only on Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast.

From eerie knocks on the walls to a spirit claiming responsibility for the murder, this story blurs the lines between folklore and reality. Join us as we explore the Bell family's harrowing experiences, the paranormal events that terrified a future president, and the lingering mysteries tied to the Bell Witch Cave. With a balanced look at both supernatural accounts and scientific theories, Tony unpacks the eerie history of Adams, Tennessee, where the curse of the Bell Witch still echoes today. Could this be America's most documented haunting or just a tale spun out of fear and folklore?

The legend of the Bell Witch is one of the greatest ghost stories in American history. It has all the elements of what we have come to think of as a Hollywood-style haunting – a vengeful spirit, flying objects, sounds that can't be unexplained, a pretty young girl, and a violent death. It's also one of the only hauntings in history in which a spirit is responsible for the death of one of the protagonists in the case.Have a question or comment?

If you think you've heard all there is to know about Tennessee's haunted past, think again. While legends like the Bell Witch and Elvis's ghost at Graceland get most of the spotlight, the small towns scattered across Tennessee are brimming with chilling stories that aren't so well known. Eric Freeman Sims is a seasoned paranormal investigator, and he opens the door to those lesser-known haunts in his new book, Small Town Haunts and Legends of Tennessee. Eric shares eerie tales of forgotten spirits, long-buried secrets, and the restless echoes that refuse to fade. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience—and a lifetime of eerie encounters that began with a full-body apparition at age eight—Eric guides us deep into the heart of the Volunteer State, where folklore meets the unexplained, proving that sometimes the scariest stories come from the places you'd least expect.

Story One – Our Lady of Fatima In the Autumn of 1917, as the brutality and savagery of the First World War threatened to finally overwhelm Portugal's borders, seventy thousand people gathered near a rural township to witness an appearance by the Virgin Mary. What exactly happened during The Fatima Event? Story Two – The Legend of the Bell Witch Whether tales of cryptids or ghostly apparitions, every community has its own folklore. Here, we pay a visit to a small town in Tennessee, which was plagued by a spirit so vengeful that it was the first in US history to receive blame for an actual recorded death, the legendary Bell Witch.
