In the early 1800s, John Bell moved his wife, Lucy and their children from North Carolina to Robertson County, Tennessee where he purchased 320 acres of farmland along the Red River. For years this family lived happily in their home, but in the summer of 1817, things would drastically change for the Bell family. From big corn field roaming dogs, invisible chains dragging on the floor, all the way to ghosts flat out slappin' people awake... buckle up and join us as we discuss the Bell Witch.
