The Bell Witch of Tennessee - Ep1

Episode: The Bell Witch — Tennessee’s Most Talkative GhostWelcome to The Dark Folio — your 15-20 minute dive into eerie folklore, haunted places, and strange true stories.My name is May, the host of The Dark Folio. After several years in radio and many years of studying the paranormal, folklore, legends, true crime and just the weird in general, I decided to merge them into a podcast to share with you! This is new to me, breaking out on my own, so be gentle as I learn and grow in this endeavor. Episode 1 - The Bell Witch — Tennessee’s most infamous haunting, and maybe the only ghost that actually talked back. It started with scratching and whispers in a frontier cabin… and ended with a death some say was caused by the witch itself. Since I live right here in Tennessee, it hits a little close to home and is a perfect first episode for The Dark Folio.Have your own eerie story or local legend? I’d love to hear it. Email me at [email protected] and you might even hear your story in a future episode. Like what you heard? Follow The Dark Folio wherever you get your podcasts, and if you’ve got a second, leave a quick review. It helps our little creepy community grow.Until next time…stay curious, stay cautious…and keep that flashlight handy. Just in case.
