About this product

Product Information

Known throughout Tennessee as "Old Kate," the Bell Witch took up residence with John Bell's family in 1818. It was a cruel and noisy spirit, given to rapping and gnawing sounds before it found its voices. With these voices and its supernatural acts, the Bell Witch tormented the Bell family. This extraordinary book recounts the only documented case in U.S. history when a spirit actually caused a man's death. The local schoolteacher, Richard Powell, witnessed the strange events and recorded them for his daughter. His astonishing manuscript fell into the hands of novelist Brent Monahan, who has prepared the book for publication. Members of the Bell family have previously provided information on this fascinating case, but this book recounts the tale with novelistic vigor and verve. It is truly chilling.

No complaints here! Arrived later than advertised, but that was fine. Good communication by seller. 150-year old book actually arrived in better condition than I expected even though it was delivered inside a thin plastic envelope. For the sale price, I am a very happy customer. Thank you!

    A fascinating look at a historical haunting!

    The Bell Witch offers the interesting anecdotal information contained in the journals of one of the first-hand witnesses of the original events. Background history of all the participants, as well as the area are well laid out, so that the reader is free to make their own decisions about the existence of the haunting, was it a true poltergeist or the evil incarnations called up by Kate Batts, an unhappy local woman with a grudge against the Bell Family. A fascinating read!

    Real history

    I bought because it was the original text. The real thing is scary enough without fictionalizing the story.
