The Bell Witch of Adams

from Strangely Odd · host Double Secret Labs

1817, Robertson County, Tennessee: a family on the Red River frontier begins hearing things in the night — knocking, chains, a voice that knows scripture by heart and names strangers on sight. Historian Dr. Marcus Eakins walks through the Bell Witch case, the death of John Bell, and the question that still haunts Adams: was Kate real, or was she made?
