I live in Robertson county just down the road from Adams it's a quiet cute little town where things move at a slower pace. I love it unlike the other outlying suburbs of Nashville where it's overcrowded and fast paced this place has stayed the same.
You make me scared to visit saying it like that
Was the cabin a slave cabin? Where are the pictures and accounts of the enslaved people in the property? I didn’t see any references with exception of the wood carvings of Ms Bell moving off of the property, and the museum proprietor mentioning the slaves given in the owner’s will.
YES!! Thank you!!!
The erasure of slaves (and other minorities) is one of my major pet peeves when it comes to American history!! 😡😡😡 Thank you for bringing it up!! There's such a wealth of history and human experience that's just erased because those who lived it weren't white Christians...
I went to the Bell Witch cave in 2009 or 2010. I've heard the story my whole life as my family lived in Robertson County when I was a small child. So I was very excited to stop off in Addams. Well as we are going in the cave, the tour guide is giving us her whole schpeel about happenings people have experienced in the cave. This ranged from strange sightings, orbs and things showing up in pictures, and even cameras and equipment malfunctioning. As she is telling this, my boyfriend's(at the time) little sister looks at me and says 'That b**** better not do anything to my camera!' I kinda chuckled and we followed the tour guide in. (Even if you are a non believer, this cave is worth as visit as you can see old Native American drawings on the walls and places were Natives had originally been laid to rest. A camera in completely necessary if you are into history. ) So we walk through water to get into the first interior room of the cave. My friend and I turn on our cameras to take pictures. I'm taking pics left and right when I hear my friend fussing. Her camera screen was frozen. She kept fiddling with it trying to fix it. As we were completing the tour, her camera was still frozen. Even with removing the batteries and putting them back I'm. When the camera came on it was still frozen like it was when she tried to take her first pic. She accepts that her camera is broken, we visit the Bell House replica, the gift ship, and we head out on our way. As we were riding home in the car my friend was talking about how unfortunate it was she didn't get any pictures. Right as soon as we drove out of Robertson County, her camera shuts itself off and the zoom lense went back into the camera. She turned the camera on and it worked perfectly like there was never anything wrong with it. I have been a believer since childhood but my friend was a skeptic. Pretty sure we gained a new believer that day.
Lol, stop it...🤣🤣🤣
Amazing!!! Thanks so much for sharing!! I love it!! Nashville native here and The Bell Witch has always been in the forefront of sleepovers as a child...lol
The witch possessed ur m8s camera .. dun dun duuuun lol I beleave there are spirits/ghosts unexplained stuff so maybe or maybe tge camera glitched xx God bless u n e huu I'd prey b4 entering the bell witches domain tbh xx
i've seen a lot on the Bell haunting. first time hearing of a cave...
The stories that involves the weird animal encounters make me think of Skinwalkers.
Same here!
Also, the "giant black dog" that was described by so many people in this case reminds me SO much of the infamous spirit dogs known as "Black Shuck"/"Old Shock" or "Grim" in the British Isles. Black Shuck legends there go back hundreds, if not thousands, of years...and they're generally thought to be bad omens.
@@maneckineckbeard1749 ya witch and them are alot of smiller things but. Witch are more humen then creature
@@Bennybrad "smiller things?"
@@Bennybrad AND "humen? 😒¿
Love the story, the legend … but the movie, An American Haunting, sucked
It kind of did, which was a shame given the cast. But, they ran with the incest lie so the ending especially sucked.
I enjoyed it 😊
@@blanchybaby I liked the feel of the movie and a lot about it but not the incest part.
Why give these random people so much time to just call the bell family liars
Grew up in Robertson County a direct descendant of Thomas Kilgore, first white man in the county. (Plenty of Cherokees lived there) My mother used to scare us telling tales of the Bell Witch, to keep us in bed. Tennessee and the South in general is rather more religious than other regions in the USA.. Where you have belief in angels you'll find belief in demons. I've been to the Bell Witch cave and the Bell cemetery, everything Bell Witch is massively profitable for the county. My family had a copy of the Ingram book, a lot of families did. Even as a kid I didn't find it plausible, but as the gentleman said, very well written. As to the existence of the supernatural, I'll hedge my bets. because who truly knows.
Christopher Morgan born and raised in Robertson county. My grandmother is Cherokee and on my father side was Cherokee. Been to the bell witch cave once and went to the bell witch festival a few times. There is a lot history in Robertson county.
Fascinating comment! I'd love to hear more about those old stories!
(Also, just FYI, it's not always necessary to believe in demons or the devil if one believes in angels and/or God; Judaism predates Christianity by many thousands of years, and has no belief in demons, devils or hell.)
Please don't forget those stories, and tell them to your own kids (if you have them) so they aren't forgotten! Folklore is such an important part of local history and culture!
@@jesusissalvation74 It does sound SO amazingly rich in history and folklore!!
He dreams of where folk are buried.Creepy. Great upload...thanks. sjlondonengland
Usury is when you illegally lend money to somebody with a unreasonably high interest rate.
Now usury is capitalism. 😉
And it's one of the things that churches historically used as an arbitrary accusation when they just really wanted to get someone in trouble, but didn't have a better excuse.
(FWIW, payday loans are absolutely usury IMHO and should be illegal!!)
@@maneckineckbeard1749 yea that’s messed up lol
I want to see a focused and well lit video or photo. With all the camers & technology we should have some by now. We can see light years into outer space & look into the smallest atoms but spirits that thousands have seen we can't get it on film, smh. I want to see one already.
Ghosts are demonic, not souls of the departed.
That's right . According to the Bible ,demons can cross the Vail between the next world and ours because Christ cast alot of them out of people and some even spoke to him.
Human souls are prevented from entering this world again
@@lindaeasley5606 But what about Saul and the Witch of Endor? As far as I was always taught, (and I'm a former comparative religions student) it was indeed the actual spirit of Samuel who was summoned by the Witch at Saul's behest...not a demon or other entity.
Also, that particular story is in Hebrew Scripture, and so since Judaism doesn't believe in demons or devils it was definitely meant to portray an actual human ghost.
Agreed I pray outloud when I'm around any thing like this n make the cross over my body 🙏🏼 God bless n jesus b with u all
*It would help in understanding the subject if folks first understand that:*
1. Souls are Energy and we each are Soul Energy infused into a Physical/Body Vessel, and we are here to experience the Physical, with our 5 senses, a Human Journey.
2. The Universe we inhabit is a Flow of Positive Energies, in our 3D World we live in a Polarized, a (+) and (-) scenario. We truly have "Free Will", we have and make Choices.
🔹 Understanding these points, there is far more Positive Energy flowing, far more Positive available, and thus we are surrounded by Positive Energy.
3. The understanding of our reality 8s best explained by understanding the *"Universal Laws", most particularly the "Universal Law of Attraction".*
Nicola Tesla, credited with being the most intelligent Quantum Physicist of the 20th Century, and Tesla stated: *"If you want to understand the Universe, think in terms of: Energy, Vibration, and Frequency"*
This is defined in the "Universal Law of Attraction " which states:
(Thought must precede all that manifests into material matter in this 3D Reality. Thus, it 1st requires Thought)
Note: this Law proves to me that, "the *"Bang came 2nd"!*
Now, with this idea in mind, the "Universal Law of Attraction " is further the defining of:
*"How we each actually create our Own Individual Reality":*
This is understood by:
*"Thoughts + Feelings X Beliefs"*
*= Our Reality"*
Thoughts are Energy
Feelings are a Concentrated Energy
Beliefs are the Confirming stamp that is the Weight, so to speak, that sets that energy upon it's Vibrational Measure, ie: Frequency.
Frequency is the measure 8f the Energy, as a scale from neutral to High, Neutral to Low, like a Thermometer, and 0 would be the midpoint between High and Low, or it's Neutral Factor.
*High Vibrational Energies are directly related to our Higher Mind, aka Mature Mind, which holds all Positive Thought Energies:. Love, Joy, Laughter, Creative, Passions, Wellbeing, Music/Dancing, all that encompasses Positive.*
The Highest Vibrational Frequency is Love, (the lowest 8s fear.)
The Lower Mind, aka Ego Mind, aka Adolescent Mind, hold all the negative thought energies: (fear, prejudices, Judgemental, jealousy, gossip, envy, hate, the Lackings: lack of Self worth, self confidence, self esteem, self value, etc, all representing the thought energies associated with the Lower Mind Thoughts.)
When this is understood, comprehended, then it can be realized that:
*"Energies and their Frequency "attract like Energies/frequencies".*
Thus the *"Law of Attraction"*
Now, One can understand: "How the *focus* of "Thoughts/Feelings and Belief" on a subject literally creates more of that subjects energies, expands the subject, brings the subject to one by the Attraction of like energy.
When there's something undesirable, it would be advised to "not focus 9n that subject, no chronic attention and discussion on the subject.".
.You would be creating more of the subject, adding energy to it, and *"This is exactly what most do whom have not discovered the Knowledge, or haven't fully learned the "Law 9f Attraction".
It would seem obvious that this understanding of this Universal Law be taught to all, taught early in life, and a practice of: *"being Conscious in Thought" + *"Applying Higher Mind"* such that all are having a more Positive, Mature Minded, experience. In an Established in a Harmony, Wellbeing, and thus offering the same towards the Collective Experiences of the whole.
9ne would think ...
Yeshua/Jesus was teaching from the foundation of this "Law of Attraction", in a number of his referenced directions in the Biblical and Gnostic Texts, the subject is most evident.
However, then or now, those whom are 8n the Power Positions, be they Political or Elite Financial, know that "a Public of Individuals operating through/from their Lower Mind, are easily influenced, manipulated, herded towards an agenda, because they are 8nfluenced in the fear based 8deas.
It isn't a Theory when the subject is fact, it isn't a stretch to comprehend the facts, when one is preoccupied with a fear, a desire to push for what they think will protect them, or struggle against what they fear will take something from them.
It is most simple, most elementary, it is a matter of knowing the fact of how we behave and knowing what we are apt to create.
I've always seen the *"Universal Law of Attraction"* as the Key to our more desired Journey experiencings, as the greater part of the Divine Design.
The "Universal Law of Attraction" is Absolute, few things in our reality and life can be said to be absolute, but this is and it is Quantum Physics Science defined.
It is fact and it 8s how one can create any thing and that can be either Positive or negative, remove the Fear, remove the negatives.

I live 50 miles away from the bell witch cave
I actually live in the cave. 🤣🤣🤣
I used to live in Nashville & Memphis, Tn...working in the Music Industry for United Artists Records and also Music Publishing companies...Tennessee is extremely beautiful state, and there are hauntings still going on. But it all about Country Music and having a beer! Memphis was more fun, because I love the blues & Jazz, and the BBQ is yummy! And it's right on the river. Tennessee is somewhat backward in a way, if you ever grew up in Palm Beach or NYC (like I did). Tennessee is filled with Baptists. I'm a Metaphysical teacher/psychic..and a Spiritualist. I'm sure it's gotten more open minded & progressive than when I lived there years ago in 1970's. But they always had good fried chicken & some of the best BBQ ever! I knew a lot of famous Nashville Singers; ie: Crystal Gayle, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rodgers, Scotty Turner (producer), etc..and it was truly an honor to know them.
Very cool information. Does sound like an appealing place to visit. Thank you!
omg
It’s hard to believe I’m actually related to this thing 😂 no I’m not lying my moms side of the family is related to her
It’s maybe the most sacred spot of the Goddess in TN. Who can return the cave and the Bell property in Adams to the indigenous people?
Who else used to buy dirty magic at Schwabs Drugstore on Beale St?? Lol ❤❤❤❤❤
I have an inkling that this story is true, but not for the reasons most might think. Addams is a very old town. It is entirely possible that it could be haunted, but because of the mythos of the Bell Witch, everything paranormal in the town has just been attributed to it. Plus, it draws the tourists in.
Just a theory.
But it's a darned compelling theory! 😉🤔
🤦🏻♀️ OK so it can’t be Kait because Kait was still alive at the time? But you’re dealing with some thing that YOU say is a witch but it goes by the name Kait. Does anyone else understand that witches commune with demons and spirits and put hexes on people in order to get their work done? Of course they can call spirits to do their bidding or send messages THROUGH them! Everyone so set on one particular theory that they’re not thinking about all the options. Paranormal stuff kind of all flows together because it is related to the spiritual. If you don’t understand how people of different walks operate and interact with the spiritual Then of course you’re not gonna be able to piece anything together.
Just saying- most modern-day "witches" in North America and the UK are practitioners of Wicca, and their religion forbids any sort of curses or hexes or anything with malicious intent. And they also don't believe in demons or devils.
Historic practitioners of witchcraft were obviously different, but I just wanted to pipe up to make clear that only a tiny fraction of modern-day witches practice their religion with any evil intentions, because Wiccans believe in the "Threefold Law," which means that whatever intention or energy you put out comes back to you threefold. (FWIW, I'm not a witch or wiccan, but I have friends who are. So I just wanted to stick up for them because there are SO many false stereotypes and misconceptions about "witches." Most are very good, generous people who wouldn't hurt a fly!)
Tennessee is a very haunted state. So much history is associated both good and bad here in Tennessee. I haven't been to the locations myself but know people who have done paranormal investigations and say it gets pretty weird at night at the known locations. The capital has some eerie rooms in it.
LOTS OF CIVIL WAR DEATHS THERE
@@amyswisher5468 Virginia moreso
Interesting, but not really surprising.
My gut feeling is that between the state's history of slavery, forced "removals" of the original native American population, desecration of Native graves/sacred sites and the civil war, there are *more* than enough reasons for Tennessee to be full of restless spirits...
I grew up in TN. My grandfather would talk about the native spirits. There was some native graves on his land.
Lol I camped there beside them several times. There was nothing that happened. It's all superstitious stuff. I don't believe in spirits or what the Natives believed. Curses abd so on....
Lol it's all in imagination.
about the "Kate" theory - it is common for demonic or other non-human entities to know your history and pose as people from your past to invoke a sense of fear or guilt so that they can feed off the negative energy created by the experience of these emotions.
Caves and mounds all over the planet need their original keepers to care for the Earth energies properly
John Bell was my seventh great grandfather ancestor.
I am the Bell Witch
there are only 2 fatal incidents involving a poltergeist. John Bell and Anneliese Michel (Germany)
But was the Anneliese case actually a poltergeist? I've always heard it described as a Catholic exorcism of a demon or demons.
@@maneckineckbeard1749 It was multiple demons in her.
I think their last name is cursed
I heard the singing in the caves

Sounds like a generational haunting. It will descend down from one generation to another unless it is seriously dealt with & stopped🕇
That guy was talking about a game we used to play in elementary school called 'Telephone'. He acted like he made up this game himself. This one just happened to include the Bell Witch story 🙄
I’m from Robertson cnty and we’ve visited the property my dad went as a teen and seen like 3 spheres
Live 50 miles away from there
This actually sounds like they have a generational curse placed on them! It needs to be broken by a man or woman of God, who comes with the fire of the Holy Spirit and the power of JESUS CHRIST! 📖🔥🕊🎚🛐
Oh, Jesus Christ.
@@wassamattau5787 That's EXACTLY who they need to pray to, JESUS CHRIST, for the curse to be broken, the only name that matters & makes them scatter! ✝🛐
@@jesus_is_salvation123 chill out
@@spencerbaldwin1939 what do you mean chill out that is not my comment.This is the first I seen or heard of part of the bell witch. But I do know about the bell witch . This is TH-cam doings.
Jesus is salvation you are absolutely right about that.
I suffer from sleep apnea and often suffer night terrors, I live in a new building, but throughout my entire life, I've had the sensation of being pulled out of bed and finding myself on the floor. I wake up after being hit and see demonic figures running around my room.
I hear the sound of footsteps running up and down the stairs; I hear screaming and people shouting at me so vividly that it wakes me up. I don't believe in ghosts all of this is well documented medically and physiologically; plus, because it's been a long-term theme in my life, it doesn't bother me in the slightest. The father was ill the daughter was young and impressionable; it doesn't take a genius to work out. It all relates to mental health.
Been practically pulled out of bed and hit is not a mental illness. It's an demonic haunting.
Been there myself since I was a child here in Canada.
Get Smart!
Its Aliens.
My ancestors
CIA clownery
fun fact only large houses can be haunted. thats why i live in a studio
😂
Me 2 nothing 2 do with me being broke its ghost safety first 🙃
Someone cursed the Bell family
I am related to the bell witch i will say this i drive all the way around adams,Tn ever since i heard the story where my cousins mom took them up there and her bank card would not work needless to say they went to the closest dollar general ended getting what they needed anyways they took it as a sign and never went back so we don't go there anymore...
What???
Wait...their bank card didn't work somewhere, but did work at Dollar General, so they decided the whole town was haunted? I mean, just to be fair, my cards occasionally just don't work because the strip or chip is dead, or because I need to make a payment...but it's never been because of a haunted town AFAIK.
Yo u got a lot ov relatives in the comment section u should have a family reunion imho xx God bless
Someone said a slave killed John Bell?
I wouldn't be surprised
@@samueljiminez657 Right?? I'm definitely not at all a violent person, but I can only imagine that being enslaved would probably make me want to murder whoever claimed to own me! Frankly, I'm always amazed more slaves didn't just straight up murder their slave owners!
Tennessee looks like a quiet place to live . Has lot of history.
Its a beautiful state
I believe in the “paranormal/inter dimensional” realm 💯. But this was a terrible presentation. Way to embellished and over sold. The testimonies were way to scripted. Was like listening to a 5th grade summer camp story. No offense. Intriguing story, but that was a buncha money wasted on a very unconvincing delivery 🤷♂️
It's really less about the Bell Witch and more about small town 🇺🇸! I live down the road from Adams personally I think it was a tall tale that took on a life of it's own.
@@robertslate4892 Yeah, whether it's true or not, it really is a great example of classic rural American folklore!
This is simply a case of a guilty conscience, thanks to all the slaves this man exploited and took advantage of. We’ll see more cases like this one in the coming days.
GHOSTS IN MY HOUSE USE 1800'S TO 2020 MUSIC TO COMMUNE, 100'S OF TIME SPANNING ERA GHOSTS. i'M THE WITCH. :)
