In this episode of Ghosts in the Mountains, we dive deep into one of America’s most infamous and enduring paranormal legends — the Bell Witch haunting of Adams, Tennessee. From mysterious knocks on the wall to violent physical attacks and eerie voices in the night, the Bell family was allegedly tormented by a supernatural force between 1817 and 1821, a presence many still claim lingers in the area to this day.

We trace the spine-tingling accounts that have fueled this legend for over 200 years, explore historical records and folklore, and unpack the psychological, supernatural, and cultural theories surrounding the entity. Could it have been a curse? A spirit? A tulpa created by fear? Or something even stranger?

Grab a lantern, step into the cold Tennessee night, and follow us into the dark woods where the Bell Witch is said to still whisper..
