The Haunting of the Bell Witch

Tea Time Crimes

The Bell Witch Cave has been haunted for hundreds of years and today we bring you back to the start of it. We’ll walk through the disturbing history and try to understand what really happened for the patriarch of the Bell family. Was he really murdered by a spirit as the legend claims, or did someone of flesh and blood have reason to want him dead?
