Who tortured the Bell family 200 years ago, and why? It’s a question that historians and tourists who still flock to the scene have asked and tried to answer since it happened.

Come gather with me round the cauldron and I'll tell you about the mystery of The Bell Witch.

Welcome Back Witches and Warlocks!  

We're all familiar with urban legends like Bloody Mary and the headless horseman. As kids we were either told the stories or watched movies about them. If you were a odd kid like myself, you probably investigated and tried to be brave enough to say a name 3 times in a dark bathroom. Some of you maybe even got really brave and went to your local cemetery after dark to wait for the lady in white. Whatever urban legend you were told or believed as a kid they always made for really great stories and most of them were as scary as diarrhea in a shag carpet, yet they still fascinated us. In this episode of 'Round the cauldron a everything podcast but mostly witchcraft and murder I wanna tell the stories of a few Urban Legends that you may or may not have heard  but still have the power to make you second guess getting up at night to go have a wee.
