Ep. 222 - The Bell Witch

Nate is planning on taking a much needed break for the holidays. But in keeping with the season he wanted to make sure you get you open your presents early. So here's the latest episode, released early for everyone. The story of the Bell Witch has been called the greatest ghost story in American history. During the 1800s the Bell family moved to a farm in Tennessee, and were soon terrorized by an invisible entity. In this episode we delve into the legend and try to figure out how much we should believe.
