Long before horror movies or ghost-hunting shows, there was the Bell Witch — a real-life haunting so terrifying it became part of American folklore. In the early 1800s, the Bell family of Adams, Tennessee, were tormented by something unseen. It started with knocking on walls and grew into full-blown attacks — sheets ripped off, voices mocking them in the dark, and violent assaults on their daughter, Betsy. The spirit called itself Kate, but locals knew it as the Bell Witch. Even future president Andrew Jackson came to witness the haunting — and left convinced it was real. The witch claimed responsibility for John Bell's death… then promised to return every seven years — and again after a hundred. To this day, people near the Bell Witch Cave say they still hear whispers, see shadows, and feel the air turn cold around Halloween night. Was it a curse, a vengeful spirit, or something darker that still walks the land of Tennessee? #RealGhostStoriesOnline #BellWitch #HauntedTennessee #TrueGhostStory #AmericanHauntings #HalloweenSpecial #GhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #CursedGround #RealHaunting Love real ghost stories?

En 1858, un jeune mousse français de 14 ans, Narcisse Pelletier, embarque à bord du Saint-Paul, un navire parti de Marseille vers l'Extrême-Orient. L'expédition transporte des marchandises et des émigrants italiens, mais au large de la Papouasie, le voyage tourne au drame. Le navire s'échoue sur les récifs de la côte nord-est de l'Australie, dans une zone aujourd'hui connue sous le nom de cap York, l'une des régions les plus isolées du continent.Les survivants, dont Narcisse, tentent d'atteindre la terre ferme à bord d'une chaloupe. Après plusieurs jours d'errance, épuisés et affamés, ils trouvent un point d'eau. Le capitaine, parti chercher de l'aide avec quelques hommes, ordonne au jeune garçon de monter la garde… mais ne revient jamais. Seul, abandonné sur une plage australienne, Narcisse Pelletier est convaincu qu'il va mourir.C'est alors qu'un groupe d'Aborigènes Uutaalnganu, peuple du nord du Queensland, le découvre. Loin de l'hostilité que craignait le jeune Français, ils le recueillent, le nourrissent et finissent par l'adopter. Ils le baptisent Amglo, et il devient, au fil des années, l'un des leurs.Narcisse apprend à chasser, à pêcher, à fabriquer des outils en pierre et en bois. Il se couvre de peinture rituelle, participe aux cérémonies, parle la langue locale, et épouse les coutumes du clan. Pendant dix-sept ans, il vit totalement intégré à cette communauté, oubliant jusqu'à ses origines européennes. Il n'est plus un marin perdu : il est un homme du bush.Mais en 1875, son destin bascule une seconde fois. Un navire britannique, le John Bell, longe la côte. Les marins remarquent un homme nu, à la peau claire, vivant parmi les autochtones. Narcisse est “retrouvé” et conduit à Sydney. Là, les autorités françaises apprennent son identité : le garçon disparu dix-sept ans plus tôt a survécu. Pourtant, le retour à la “civilisation” est un choc terrible. Il ne parle presque plus français, fuit la foule et le bruit des villes.Revenu à son port natal de Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, Narcisse Pelletier mène une existence discrète, hanté par le souvenir de son autre famille. Jusqu'à sa mort, en 1894, il restera tiraillé entre deux mondes — celui qu'il avait quitté et celui qu'il avait aimé. Son histoire, à mi-chemin entre le naufrage et la renaissance, demeure l'un des récits les plus émouvants de l'aventure humaine. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

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.

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.

THIS IS HOLLYWOOD: The Stranger The Narada Radio Company proudly presents a re-imagined episode of a lost radio series, This is Hollywood! Little is known about this series, other than the fact that it, like many other series in the Golden Age, presented radio adaptations of popular films. When director Pete Lutz was working on his adaptation of the screenplay, he discovered that The Stranger had been adapted for this lost series. Since no recording of this episode, nor any episode, could be located, Mr. Lutz created an introduction and a closing segment that might've been the way This is Hollywood presented them. Right or wrong, there it is, and who can dispute it? In this production, the Narada Radio Company presents an adaptation of the full film -- indeed the running times of this audio play and the motion picture are very similar -- so you get an hour and a half of suspense, action, adventure, and thrills, all surrounding the story of a post-WWII Nazi hunter, on the track of her prey, the mastermind behind the death camps -- who has destroyed all links to his identity! We're sure you'll agree that our production is just as thrilling as the 1946 film. CAST OF CHARACTERS: ANNOUNCER: Darren Rockhold Geri Elliff as COMMISSIONER WILSON Rhiannon McAfee as MARY LONGSTREET Pete Lutz as CHARLES RANKIN Carole Krohn as the SECRETARY and MRS. LUNDSTROM Greg McAfee and Mark Kalita as the DIPLOMATIC DEPUTIES Dana Gonsalves as CONRAD MEINEKE Michele Barnett as MRS.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the German physicist who, at the age of 23 and while still a student, effectively created quantum mechanics for which he later won the Nobel Prize. Werner Heisenberg made this breakthrough in a paper in 1925 when, rather than starting with an idea of where atomic particles were at any one time, he worked backwards from what he observed of atoms and their particles and the light they emitted, doing away with the idea of their continuous orbit of the nucleus and replacing this with equations. This was momentous and from this flowed what's known as his Uncertainty Principle, the idea that, for example, you can accurately measure the position of an atomic particle or its momentum, but not both.

Né au milieu du 19e siècle, ce jeune mousse engagé sur plusieurs navires marchands, se retrouve naufragé à l'autre bout de chez lui alors qu'il est âgé de seulement 14 ans. Seul sur une terre qu'il ne connaît pas, il va être recueilli et adopté par ceux que l'on surnomme alors à l'époque “des sauvages”.

The UAE's Ministry of Education has announced a new unified school calendar for 2025-2026 for all private and public schools across the whole country. It's aimed at bringing some consistency across the board and across age groups, and it could mean big changes for some families, especially when it comes to holidays. We discuss this with John Bell, the Founding and Current Principal of Bloom World Academy and Jenny Mollon, Senior Editor from Which School Advisor. Men’s magazine GQ attracted some very polarised opinions when it wrote a piece encouraging men to capitalise on their wives' friendships by befriending their husbands. The comments raised a couple of key questions - why do women seemingly find it easier to make and maintain friendships as adults? And do men really need their wives to make friends for them? Monarch Health Centers' Ali Ilyas is here to help A new research involving a host of different recruiters across the UAE suggests that in some industries, the name on your diploma matters less than the skills you bring to the table. According to some recruiters, a mid-tier graduate could outearn an academic star because of the roles they choose, how fast they adapt, and the value they deliver. But is that actually the case in reality? Jennifer talks to experts David MacKenzie, Group Managing Director at MacKenzie Jones and Rohini Ballah Gill, Senior HR & Management Consultant.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
