In this week's episode of the 222 Paranormal Podcast, we descend into the haunted hollows of Pennsylvania and Kentucky, where ghost stories aren't just legends — they're warnings etched into rock. In the coal-rich hills of Pennsylvania, mining towns were built on the backs of hardworking men, many of whom paid the ultimate price underground. Accidents, cave-ins, and explosions claimed lives without mercy. Now, decades later, locals and paranormal investigators report unsettling encounters in abandoned shafts and sealed tunnels. At the Number 9 Coal Mine, visitors describe the sounds of picks striking rock, ghostly footsteps, and cold spots where no draft should reach. The Eckley Miners' Village, once a bustling hub, is now a preserved ghost town — literally. Shadows flit between buildings, and residents report hearing men speaking in hushed tones late at night, though no one is there. We also head south to Kentucky, home to one of the largest and oldest cave systems in the world — Mammoth Cave. With over 400 miles of mapped passages, this underground labyrinth has seen its share of tragedy. During the 1800s, part of the cave was used as a tuberculosis hospital. Patients lived — and died — in the cold, damp darkness. Park rangers and visitors alike report seeing pale figures, hearing labored breathing, and even encountering a phantom guide who offers to lead tours before disappearing into the stone. We'll also explore the infamous story of Floyd Collins, a cave explorer who became trapped in Sand Cave in 1925. Despite a nationwide rescue effort, Collins died alone in the darkness. Since then, strange activity has been reported near the cave — from soft weeping sounds to flickering lights with no source And let's not forget the Tommyknockers — mischievous spirits said to dwell in the mines, sometimes blamed for accidents but also credited with warning miners of danger. Are they folklore? Or a real phenomenon witnessed by those who've worked in the belly of the earth? Whether carved by man or nature, caves and mines hold the energy of trauma, tragedy, and mystery — making them perfect breeding grounds for the paranormal. In this episode, we share true stories, chilling eyewitness accounts, and eerie folklore that prove: when you go underground, you never know what you might awaken.

In the shadow of the Red River in Adams, Tennessee, the Bell Witch Cave has become infamous as one of America's most thoroughly documented supernatural haunting sites, where for over two centuries visitors have reported strange phenomena, physical assaults, and encounters with an entity that once terrorized a family to the point of death and continues to linger in the dark, winding passages beneath the earth.

Hailing from the land of moonshine and grits, Pat Fitzhugh is best known for his books about the history, legends, and lore of the American South.   From Louisiana's eerie swamps to Virginia's misty mountains, Fitzhugh's writing embodies the passions, fears, and tragedies of a region rich in folklore and shrouded in mystery. His reverence for the past and his keen interest in the supernatural are strikingly evident in his writing, which not only tingles the spine but exudes a profound sense of history and place.   "I take yarns of history, legends, and tragedies, and weave them into stories that not only entertain, but provide a glimpse into the region's people and past. Injecting culture and history into ghost stories evokes a sense of realism that makes them even more terrifying."  — Pat Fitzhugh   Pat Fitzhugh was born in Nashville, Tennessee, and split his childhood between Humphreys County, Tennessee, and Nashville's “west side,” where he attended David Lipscomb Elementary and Middle School and Hillwood High School. He became interested in ghost stories early on and was seriously researching the paranormal by age 13.

Hailing from the land of moonshine and grits, Pat Fitzhugh is best known for his books about the history, legends, and lore of the American South.   From Louisiana's eerie swamps to Virginia's misty mountains, Fitzhugh's writing embodies the passions, fears, and tragedies of a region rich in folklore and shrouded in mystery. His reverence for the past and his keen interest in the supernatural are strikingly evident in his writing, which not only tingles the spine but exudes a profound sense of history and place.   "I take yarns of history, legends, and tragedies, and weave them into stories that not only entertain, but provide a glimpse into the region's people and past. Injecting culture and history into ghost stories evokes a sense of realism that makes them even more terrifying."  — Pat Fitzhugh   Pat Fitzhugh was born in Nashville, Tennessee, and split his childhood between Humphreys County, Tennessee, and Nashville's “west side,” where he attended David Lipscomb Elementary and Middle School and Hillwood High School. He became interested in ghost stories early on and was seriously researching the paranormal by age 13. His early influences included the local horror show, “Creature Feature,” and a host of old, late-night British ghost movies.

In Episode 460: The Tennessee Triangle we are joined by author Donna Hartley! She recently published the book Historic Haunts of Sumner County, Tennessee where she documents the happenings of an area that seems to make up a mysterious triangle of paranormal activity. This triangle appears to stretch from the Bell Witch Cave to the Cragfont house and then down the Long Hollow Pike. Inside its borders, there is a tendency for the strange and bizarre to be more usual than not. She also shares about the things that happened in her own house that seemed to have been spawned by the writing of this book.

The Bell Witch Cave in Adams, Tennessee is the site of many, many hauntings. It is thought that Ol Kate Batts, the Bell Witch, fled to the sanctuary of the cave in the years she said she would leave the Bell family alone… and in that time she has been seen and heard and felt so many times over the years that it is almost impossible to believe that she isn't really haunting that cave. So join us for part two of this wild ride… Stay safe out there.

This story starts out in the summer of 1817, when the Bell family began seeing strange looking animals on their 320 acre farm. Soon after, they began hearing knocking sounds on their doors and the outer walls of their farm house. Shortly after the knocking started, the family began hearing chains being drug through the house, the sounds of stones being dropped on their wood floors, and gulping and choking sounds. As you might imagine, the family was terrified by these events. Fearing ridicule, they kept the strange occurrences to themselves for about a year until it became unbearable. The father, John Bell, confided in their neighbors, the Johnsons. John invited them to stay over for a few nights so that they too could witness the events. After a few nights of strange events, Mr. Johnson suggested more people be told, and a committee was formed to start an investigation. It was not long after this that people began traveling from many miles away to witness these strange occurrences, and soon this entity gained a voice. It said it was a witch named Kate Batts but soon became referred to as the Bell Witch. Kate said she wanted two things. First, she wanted John Bell dead, and, second, she wanted to prevent John's youngest daughter, Betsy, from marrying a neighbor boy named Joshua Gardner.Over the next few years, the family was tormented almost daily. John and Betsy received the worst of it. Betsy was scratched, having her hair pulled, and even receiving beatings. John began suffering from spells of swelling, mostly in the throat, as well as physical beatings. John said that Kate would blast him with threats and curses.Finally in 1820, after drawing huge crowds, Kate seemed to accomplish her mission. On December 20, John Bell died; it was believed that he was poisoned by Kate. Then in March of the next year, Betsy broke off her engagement to Joshua Gardner. After this, Kate bid everyone farewell and said she would return in 7 years.In 1828, Kate did return for a few weeks. She visited the home of John Bell, Jr. and had several long talks with him about the past and future. She said there was a reason for stopping Betsy's marriage and for the death of John Sr. but it was never explained. She said that she would return again in 100 years.People in the area said she never left, and there are reports of strange occurrences still happening on the Bell family's old farm and at the Bell Witch Cave in Adams, Tennessee. I may circle back and add a few of these stories if there's interest among you readers. Tours are available of a replica of the Bell family cabin as well as the Bell Witch Cave in Robertson County, Tennessee.

John Bell Sr died 200 years ago, and much of the haunting occurred years prior to that.  To date, there are a half dozen movies based on the story with more having been influenced by it; there is a doom metal band called Bell Witch, and several songs by other musicians based on the tale. It has spawned other stories and even traveled in a slightly altered form to become folklore in Mississippi, where several Bell children settled in their adulthood.  The story itself is the story of the Bell family. In the very early years of the nineteenth century, John Bell Senior came to Robertson County, Tennessee with his wife, Lucy, and their young children. They settled along the Red River, near the modern town of Adams. Bell had been a barrel-maker in his youth, but had decided to turn to farming. He was quite successful in this, and by the time of his death, his farm would boast more than three hundred acres of land. He developed a good name for himself as well, and would eventually become an elder at the local church (though later he was excommunicated for unscrupulous business dealings). He had a good life along the Red River for well over a decade, he and his wife had nine children, and they were well-liked as a family.  The “family trouble”, as the Bells would one day call it, began late in 1817. In the earliest days of the haunting, a strange creature was spied around the Bell's farmland by a number of people. A strange mixture of dog, sometimes two-headed, and rabbit. It was large and dark and utterly unsettling. The Bell family's slave, Dean, saw this same creature, among other bizarre and supernatural sights, multiple times on his walks in the evening to visit his wife on a nearby farm. John Bell also reportedly saw the creature lurking around on occasion. In early 1818, seemingly supernatural activity had started within the farmhouse. The children would report hearing the sounds of rats gnawing on their bedposts in the night, but upon examination neither rat nor bite mark could be found. After this came knocking sounds and the heavy rattle of chains being dragged across their wooden floors. Sounds that all the family could hear. In time, the children would be bitten at and scratched and pinched by the air itself. Their bedsheets would be yanked off their bed as night. Pillows snatched from under their sleeping heads and thrown to the floor. John Bell Sr woke one day to find his mouth paralyzed. One of the most famous parts of this story, or perhaps infamous, is the treatment of the Bell's daughter, Betsy. All sources seem to agree that she was an uncommonly beautiful girl, and perhaps this is why the increasingly violent manifestations, allegedly those of a witch, centered around her. She was pinched and scratched more and worse than the other children, leaving her black and blue and bloody. Her hair was yanked and she was kept awake at night. She was abused and miserable. The family tried to relieve her suffering by having her stay with friends and family, but the abuse followed her wherever she went.  By contrast, the entity was utterly enchanted by Lucy Bell, the mother of the family. Lucy was a well-liked woman, but it seemed especially enthralled with her. It lavished her with adulation, brought her fruit and nuts when she was sick, and sang her praises. Author Pat Fitz Hugh quite correctly points out that this can hardly be called genuine kindness on the entity's part, given the emotional suffering Lucy would have endured in watching her family be harassed and abused. All the while, John Bell became sicker and sicker, and no one was sure what ailed him, or how to cure him of his mysterious malady. In desperation, the Bell family reached out to their good friend James Johnston for help. He and his wife agreed to spend a night in the Bell's home. Having been as harassed and abused as the Bells had been throughout the night, they agreed in the morning that it was an authentic, malicious spirit. Around this time, the entity began to whisper to them. Barely-heard snatches of a disembodied voice at first, and then growing in power as it appeared to be getting stronger and stronger. When asked who it was, it claimed at various times to be “Old Kate Batts' witch” (Kate Batts herself was alive and well; she allegedly had a sharp tongue and a wicked temper, and was said to actually be a witch).  At other times she was the spirit of a disturbed grave who had lost a tooth under the house (though no tooth was ever found).  On Another occasion, she claimed she was the ghost of a poor murdered peddler. And yet another time, the ghost of an immigrant who had buried treasure nearby (no treasure was ever found, despite the wild goose chase “Kate” led them on). It is said that in 1819 Andrew Jackson, the then army general who would go on to be the seventh president of the United States, had heard stories of the Bell Witch. Given that the Bell's sons had served under him, he chose to visit the farm itself to investigate. The beginning of this part of the story is the same in all versions -- Jackson and his men found their carriage wheels stuck fast on their way to the farm, and nothing they could do would loosen them. It was the work of the witch, who spoke to them: she would see General Jackson later that evening. The stories differ here: one version says that the general and his men went straight on past the farm house, never to meddle in such things again. The other, more heroic version, states that Jackson did indeed continue on to the Bell homestead.  While there, one of his men who claimed himself to be a “witch layer” was harassed and humiliated by the witch. Regardless, Jackson himself stayed the night, speaking with both the family and the witch herself long into the evening.  It is also said that 1819 was the year in which the witch began to threaten to kill “Old Jack” Bell, who was by this time incredibly weak and fading fast.  In 1820, this threat came to pass. John Bell Sr allegedly was fed a mysterious substance by the witch, after which he died. This substance was later tested on the poor family cat, who promptly died as well, leaving no doubt as to what sort of substance was in the bottle. The witch, not yet finished with “Old Jack”, sang ribald drinking songs loudly at his funeral to the family's dismay. The haunting did not immediately stop with John Bell's death. The following year, the Witch implored and nagged at Betsy until she called off her engagement to her fiance, promising to go away for seven years. Betsy did so, perhaps fearing that her love would die as her father had. The witch was, surprisingly, as good as her word.  The witch kept her word to return to the family, as well. She returned to Lucy and the boys in 1828. In some versions of the story they simply changed tact and chose to ignore her entirely rather than engage with the creature who had killed their father. Following this, she simply left. In other versions, she and the boys discussed philosophy and civilization, before she again left. In some versions, she told them she would return to their descendants in 107 years.  Interestingly there actually was a descendant of the family, a Dr. Bailey Bell who was alive 107 years later and was fascinated by the lore of the family witch. He wrote a book on the subject in 1934. If the witch did return to him in 1935 as promised, however, he went to his grave a decade later without telling anyone about it.  There may have been another return of the witch that hadn't been announced to the family: in 1868, somewhere near the Bell farm, a man named Mr. Smith claimed to have occult powers from the witch. Tom Clinard and Dick Burgess alleged that he had been practising witchcraft on them. They claimed that he had made them see old grey horses and hobgoblins in the night. They proclaimed proudly that if they could do it all again, they would kill him again. They had been attempting to arrest Smith for his use of witchcraft, leading to the conflict that resulted in Smith's death. They were found Not Guilty. In 1880, the Bell Witch's work was attributed to a haunted house in Tennessee, where clangs and bangs were heard, but no speech from the witch as with the Bell family. There were accusations of fakery, none of which were solidly proven.  There's also the Bell Witch Cave. The cave exists on what was once the Bell's property, and in COVID-free times is open to the public. It doesn't have a place in the original story, but since that time it HAS been and continues to be, the site of numerous phenomena. The Witch herself once rescued a young boy in the cave who had gotten stuck, and it's said that the cave was where she resided when she wasn't tormenting the Bell family.  Our primary source of information for the inside happenings of the Bell Witch haunting is a book published in 1894 by Martin Van Buren Ingram, called An Authenticated History of the Famous Bell Witch. Ingram calls himself a compiler of data in the preface of the book, some of which was “written by Williams Bell, a member of the family, some fifty-six years ago, together with other corroborative testimony by men and women of irreproachable character and unquestionable veracity.” Ingram himself makes reference to news articles of the day, none of which survive. The legend survives through oral tradition as well. In addition to the stories still told in Tennessee, the tale of the Bell witch made its way to Mississippi, with some of the names and motivations changed, where it's still told today. The young heroine of the story is now called Mary, and a love story has been added, but the story remains very much intact.  Pat Fitzhugh brings up the possibility of John Bell Sr's illness and death being due to a neurological disorder, rather than the evil work of the witch (however much and loudly she took credit for it at the time). The science of neurology, despite the concepts being two hundred years old, was still very much in its infancy in the 1820s. It would be 50 years before electrodes would be used to study neurology, and all the advances that they would bring. Bell's symptoms mirror those we now know to be those of neurological illness, though of course without the patient to examine there's no way to know for sure. Skeptic Joe Nickell believes it possible that the whole haunting was a hoax perpetrated by Betsy, as another example of “poltergeist faking syndrome”. Ingram himself admits that two of the Bell brothers took frequent boat trips down to New Orleans around 1815 - 1818, where they learned ventriloquism, which they then taught to their sister Betsy. Certainly the timing of the early days of the hauntings lines up with the acquisition of their new talent. Ingram himself does not believe this theory to be true, pointing out that the hauntings brought no good to the family.  It's impossible to say whether this was a legitimate haunting or an elaborate trick that coincided with the neurological illness of John Bell Sr., ending in his death. All witnesses have been dead for well over a century, and the original farm house fell into ruin long, long ago. All we can do is speculate, and wonder if the world will hear from “Old Kate Batts' witch” again one day.

              The legend of the Bell witch is one of Americas most popular pieces of folklore. There have been many films and other media inspired by this tale. What caused the eerie events that tormented the Bell family on those dark Tennessee nights in the early 1800's? Come along as we analyze the tale of the Bell witch (just be sure not to get stuck in "fat mans squeeze" if you enter the Bell witch cave). 

The Bell Witch haunting. It's been the go-to ghost story of Adams, Tennessee since the early 1800s, and has inspired a slew of Hollywood movies. But was there ever really a witch? Or a haunting? Or a giant dog with the head of a rabbit? And why are the descendants of the Bell family still experiencing hauntings to this day? In this episode, Cara and Veronica discuss their theories on this ever enduring ghost story. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/sistersandspiritsparanormal)

Welcome to another Supernatural Episode of True Crime and Chill. We are so excited to be introducing our new series of local lore from each of the United States. This week we are covering the Bell Witch of Tennessee.In 1804 John Bell Sr moved to Adams, Tennessee with his wife and children. They had relocated from North Carolina and while there, John and his family joined a church that John actually became a deacon at. Their life was by all accounts really good and they ended up prospering in Tennessee. The Bell children were growing up really well, the family made a really good name for themselves. However, in 1817, their life changed forever when a witch began to terrorize John and his daughter, Betsy. Strange sounds, sheets being pulled off beds in the middle of the night, scratches and bruises, and a disembodied voice threatening John's life are only a part of this strange tale.

"A tap-tap-tap would sometimes be heard against a living room window. Something outside that couldn’t be seen out in the dark of the Tennessee wilderness was perhaps now looking in..." A quote from today's second of four stories - the tale of the Bell Witch. This early 19th century Tennessee story about a malicious, spiteful spirit rumored to have antagonized the Bell family and many others around them for several years is one of America's most famous paranormal horror accounts. The first story is an encounter with New Mexico's La Mala Hora - the "Evil Hour" also known as "The Evil One," a spirit you don't want to drive past at a crossroads. And then Lynze shares two interesting accounts that lend far too much credence to the possibility that the things that go bump in the night exist in more than our imaginations.    Thank you for sending in your stories, Creeps and Peepers!

The Bell Witch 1817, Adams, Tennessee,  was the site of one of the most well-known hauntings in American history -well, maybe not most well known but, at least the longest running story of paranormal activity. Some believe the whole story of the Bell Witch was made up, or a hoax on the family and not witch or supernatural at all.  Some say it was so well known that it eventually caught the attention and then the involvement of a future president of the United States, Andrew Jackson. Known as The Bell Witch, or The Bell Witch Cave, named for the family whose home that the activity first presented itself, came, the strange and often violent activity whose story has endured theorists and believers for over 200 years. Listen as Cat tells in part one, the stories and goings on of the Bell Witch and you decide what to believe.

Luna and Scout cover the Bell Witch and the Yeti, or Abominable Snowman.

Even better, the legend persists to this day and you can visit the infamous Bell Witch Cave! Settle in for this spooky story...

The Bell Witch tormented the Bell family for four years starting in 1817, according to a reporter named Martin V.B. Ingram who wrote the definitive, but terrible book in 1894. Beth slogged through the book until she couldn't take it anymore and marvels that the legend sustained itself.
