The Bell House And The Bell House Witch
Location:
The original Bell farmhouse was built in Robertson County, Tennessee, near the
Kentucky state line and the Red River. Today, the house is gone, but the Tennessee
Historical Commission has placed a marker along U.S. Highway 41 indentifying the edge
of the Bell property. A gravel road leads from the highway to the former site of the
home, where a monument in memory of the Bell family has been rerected. A cave on the
property, also believed to be haunted, can be found overlooking the Red River.
Number of Ghost:
At least one, possibly as many as four.
Identities of Ghost:
The Bel Witch, also known as Kate or Kate Batts. Other ghost may include John, Betsy
and Richard Bell.
Type of Activity:
Classic poltergeist activity of every kind, including invisible attacks, and a
disturbing disembodied voice. More recent phenomena have included ghost lights
and at least one apparition.
Demeanor of Ghostly Residents:
Incredibly vengeful and potentially dangerous. The central ghost, the Bell Witch,
attacks specific individuals with a terrible fury. The other ghost are probably
harmless.
