50: The Bell Witch - Witches

The case of the Bell Witch haunting in Adams, Tennessee has been one of America’s spookiest legends since it first happened in the early 1800s👻 The Bell family claimed they were tormented by a mischievous spirit that whispered secrets, threw objects, and even took credit for John Bell’s mysterious death. Over the years, locals pointed fingers at neighbor Kate Batts, painting her as the “witch” behind it all. But history suggests Kate may have just been a quirky woman with a sharp tongue, unfairly cast as the villain (classic). Maybe the haunting wasn’t about witches at all, and is just a good old-fashioned ghost story that got a little out of hand… We’ll let you be the judge👀Story starts at: 12:55Welcome to I Scream, You Scream, a podcast with your weekly scoop of the most chilling histories, mysteries & paranormal perplexities!
