Thanks to 'Famousagentman' for re-writing the case as a creepypasta!

It's so weird hearing the story of the Bell Witch being popularized. It was a story I grew up hearing from my grandfather about considering he lived in the same area it took place in years before. I've even been to the Bell's gravesite. Not the Bell Witch though. Her grave is supposedly waaaay off in a field behind John Bell's and it's impossible to get to it. Let alone, it's on private property. It's definitely an interesting urban legend though.
Cool. Who would want her grave on their property though?
Then it can’t be coincident that the Bell witch’s grave is on private property! To even think that this witch is said to have even spooked 1 of our actual American 🇺🇸 Presidents back thens scary. Especially because that president was in the war.
@@fckyoutube9605 Someone who communicates with the paranormal maybe?? Loraine Warren for example can see people’s souls so, she’s more aware receptive & as well as perceptive of the spiritual forces in existence that just seems to fly over our heads. In other words beyond our veil of human perceptions.
Words cannot describe how much this made my day to see this in my subscriptions, and to get that message from you. It came out better than I had ever imagined. It's been a pleasure making one of the world's most under-rated ghost stories better known.
I was just about to say I keep reading it as "The Well Bitch"

Ever seen The Blair Witch movie?
Man,this hits close to home,literally. I live in Tennessee and actually went to a school near the property. Freaky crap always happened and me and the other kids back then always thought we saw odd creatures in the bushes in the woods across the field from the playground fence.
"Somone had switched out his medicine for poison, which they confirmed upon force feeding it to the cat." Wow, what assholes.
The movie "An American Haunting" actually has none of the facts straight. My mum is close friends with someone descended from the original Bell family, and he now co-owns the property, and yes, it is severely haunted. I grew up in TN, so it's always been common knowledge that you don't go onto the Bell property at night xD but some people still place bets and "Dare" each other to spend a night there d:
n American Haunting
No supernatural story in American history is more famous than that of the Bell Witch. In fact, tales of the spirit were so widespread that they caught the attention of a General and future President, Andrew Jackson.
To the right you will see the very famous picture of Betsy Bell, John Bell's daughter. Betsy was tortured by the Witch for several years of her childhood.
What was the Bell Witch? Like most supernatural stories, certain details vary from version to version. But the prevailing account is that the Bell Witch claimed to be the spirit of Kate Batts, a mean old neighbor of John Bell who believed she was cheated by him in a land purchase. On her deathbed, she swore that she would haunt John Bell and his descendents. The story is picked up by the Guidebook for Tennessee, published in 1933 by the Federal Government's Works Project Administration.
We invite you to come take a tour of the old Bell farm. Visit the Historic Bell Witch Cave and canoe down the Red River. For a truly haunting experience, schedule a Special Night TimeHaunted Candlelight Tour. Come and learn the details of one of the most famous mysteries in American history.
Yeah I think the whole sex abuse thing was low the man is dead he cannot defend himself
I live in TN this is a very popular story here and is true far as I know. I live about 3 hours from Adams, TN where this all happened I 1st read this story when I was younger and have always been intrigued by it.
I've heard this story before and I love it. I know its strange but it's true.
Indeed, the spirit hated John Bell something fierce. When asked when it would stop, it replied that it would when John was dead and buried. At his funeral, it sang joyous hymns. Though apparently it had a soft spot for his daughter, sobbing when she became ill.
head of a rabbit body of a dog? NOOO NOT A FENNEC FOX :c
That is the bat from the little tv show the silver wings right? Your profile picture?
that what i used to have Shade silverwing
cool.
@@JohnnytheYouKnowWhat
The Bell Witch is from An American Haunting.
I thought everyone knew about the Bell Witch
The funny thing is, this is a real story. The Bell Witch did haunt the Bells and made them hallucinate morbid animals like wolves with rabbit heads and pigs with cat heads....
Even president Andrew Jackson went to see the bell witch! He was so scared that he said something along the lines of "Id face a million more wars than face the bell witch again". I don't remember the exact words. It was the most active poltergeist ever recorded in history. It would have full conversations and touch visitors. Creeeeeeepppyyyy. I guess shes gone now but comes back ever so often
the Bell Witch is an extremely well known tale, i'd be surprised to meet someone who's never heard of her
*Gasp* that sounds crazy! i wanna go...
But Tennessee is a bit of a walk from here :I
And whats that Adams town sign thing? :P
I remember reading about the Bell Witch in a book about poltergeists when I was younger. I didn't know about that detail of the tremors though. Sometimes seismic activity stirs up ghost phenomenon, so that could be another reason the Bell Witch attacked the family.
I did a world history project on the bell witch c: I was gonna do the Blair witch but the bell witch seemed a little more realistic. :P
You have a gorgeous voice. Always loved British accents.
at first i read the tile "the well bitch" xD wow
I saw this last night on Ghost Adventures did u know if u take a rock from the bell witch cave you will be cursed by the bell witch until u put it back🙊
Me to!
Well i was born in clarksville tn about a 30 min drive from there and i have seen the actual house not the remake of the area and the back of the it 15 miles away from the actual house and front of the cave. There is no sign tonit it is just a dirt road off the main hwy 79 the house looks as it did in the early 1934 picture with more trees around it now not an open field. When you get past an old metal bar gate about a half molenpast that is the house and the radio in my truck starte going crazy when we got sloser to the house. That was enough for me i left. The tour they have for it now is just a joke and robbery
I live in Tennessee and have been to the "Bell Witch Cave". I don't believe in witches but Ill be honest... I got the oddest feeling I've ever had when in the cave... Like I was constantly being watched.
Growing up i always heard this story. It still scares me, i went to a tour of the bell's land. Obviously i didn't have any chairs thrown at me. But it was as creepy as you would think
Oh... so you remember me.. ^_^
A true story... with many different versions, depending on which one you read or hear about.
I remember hearing this story from a friend when i was little.
I know this story, I heard it when I was in elementary school. This story is actually true. In my city we have the legend of The Jersey Devil.
The Bell Witch - Mercyful Fate. An amazing song.
I am as well... I am James Davis Bell Sr. aka J.D.Bell Sr.( grand daughter). My great grandfather Bell is Charles Tate Bell who married Nina Whelchel
love this story.
I live pretty close by to where this happened. It is indeed a true story
I live an hour away from Adams TN, and the infamous Bell Witch Cave. It’s a creepy story. It’s also claimed I’ve read the Witch supposedly made prophecies to John Bell Jr. years later after all these events.
I actually know someone who went to the Bell Witch cave. She said she didn't go very far in but one of her friends did and kinda went farther than he was supposed to go, like passed the marked off area of something, and he came running out of there, screaming; when they finally caught up with him, he had what looked like claw marks going down his back.
Good job, as usual. Oh, and they do candlelight tours at that place year round. You should see the Adams town welcome sign!
As the writer of this creepy pasta(as credited in the description), could I possibly request that you do a reading as well? While I love CreepsMcPasta, I feel as though the atmosphere you each bring to your videos makes it unique every time.
Hearing you and maybe even MsCreepyDark read it would bring me unfathomable joy.
I actually heard this story and apparently the family who is direct descendant of John Bell is actually cursed by this malevolent spirit. Legend states that John Bell actually had an affair and broke it off. The woman who he had an affair with was apparently an extremely powerful witch.
I have heard about this story. I think the ghost is a poltergeist. That would explain why the exorcism didn't work at all.
I think my mom said something about this story some time ago. According to her, Bell saw some kind of creature outside his house. Whatever it was had a dog's body with a rabbit's head. Apparently he fired his gun at it and he became it's target.
I have heard about this story all my life since I live like 2 something hours from this place. Its nice hearing you read it tho. ^_^
They think the witch was caused by his neighbor who he cheated out of a bunch of land that she rightfully owned and upon passing put the curse of the witch on him.
Hey they saw my rabbitdog Sparky! Here Sparky!
I'm from daisy Tennessee, it's about an hour away from Robertson. My parents told me this story when I was young. I thought it wasn't real. I was wrong.
This story is really true, It was a farm house or something owned by a faimly and what not. Read it 7th grade from some book about ghost hauntings.
Its dosent matter if its real or not,its the fact you belive. Haha just like religion.... still this story has more proof then the bible ever had
I live in Memphis and they told this story in my 9th grade History class. Creepy stuff!!
Man this story has been around forever! Glad creepypasta finally did it. =)
I've heard of this one. I read it in a book about true American ghost stories. ;D
u told this story VERY well lol, ive heard it a hundred times and this was seriously awesome....good job man
I really thought this said "The Bell's Bitch" the first time I saw the title.
Read a book about this a loong time ago.
ohhhh! i remember this there's a book on it too!
Im from the state in which this happened: Tennessee and it's a true story
Yeah, and I'd reckon it's a bit of a SWIM, too XD
Adams, Tennessee--where the Bell Witch Cave is---has a sign that...haha, just type in "Adams Tennessee welcome sign" and you'll see what I mean XD
This was so damn creepy. The true stuff is always the scariest.
I don't live too far from the place where that happened. Lol.
I read about the Bell Witch as an article for school
Honestly weird to see this, because I've always lived in TN and this urban legend is actually taken pretty seriously here, especially in my family.
One of the few urban legends I take seriously, because of that. Not gonna fuck with any Bell Witch shit.
This story also fails to mention the part of the legend where hundreds of people camped out in the yard and how Andrew Jackson himself showed up to check it out.
First off, ask yourself who benefits from a "haunting"? Why the family who made up the story. I believe in ghosts, just not the kind where it makes money for the people. Also I like where the "storyteller" suggests that if you go to the Bell family property, you will feel a "presence". So then, of course, you will feel something.
John bell screwed a lady over in a land dispute. That lady swore to haunt the bell family forever.
ExCUSE me?!? Why did they kill the cat!!??
@crazyneo102 Dude no comparing, I think their both equally awesome.
The Bell witch legend is real.
Only goats listen in 2021
The events were alleged to have occurred between 1817-1821. The tale was popularized by Martin VanBuren Ingram who published the book, "Authenticated History of the Bell Witch" in 1894. Chapter 9 of the book contains what is alleged to be the memoirs of Richard Williams Bell who was one of John Bell's children living in the house at the time of the alleged events.
Right. I'm pretty sure it had to have been about five or more years ago, when that incident was supposed to have happened. Of course, when you hear a story from someone, you never know just how much truth there is in it.
WHY WOULD THEY FORCE FEED IT TO THE CAT??? That just makes me angry >:[ so basically, to avoid stuff like this,don't shoot animals you don't need to and don't shoot anything that doesn't look like a normal animal
I live in Tennessee I'm about 1 hour and 30 minutes away from Robertson county
lol why every single creepypasta starts somewhat like "i know that you wont believe me but this is a true story."
I seen An American Haunting and cool The Bell Witch Story.
you gonna do centrillia next? from what i read it is haunted and is like silent hill.... but i don't think mr. pyramid head is there..
I believe she was a niece.
Cats are beautiful :)
haha Abraham Lincoln hunted vampires and Andrew Jackson investigated ghosts (he investigated this when it was happening) I don't really like this version of the story so much, though *shrug*
At first i thought it was going to that legend from where i live in England about the "Who put Bella in the Wychelm?" thing
I could just listen to his voice forever :3
They would not have called a priest. They were Baptists. They called a Native American shaman, that was who was attacked.
A similar thing happened to my 1st cousin, he had been interested in it, my cousin had decided to go in, his brother had told me he was pale like he saw a ghost, he had barely gone in but was his fingers colder than anything, usually this occurs when one is either getting cold or nervous, he was very shaken up but claimed nothing happened. I saw in his eyes something completely shook him up and he still isn't normal, I had talked to him and his brother about this before and regret it every time.
I’d never heard of the Bell Witch, but I think it may be because that John Bell killed its pet. If nothing else is off, that’s the only thing that was unexplained.
When he said that something crawled next to the guy on the bed it reminded me of this dream I have were I seem to be in sleep-paralysis & this little dog-sized humanoid creature crawls around my bed & pulls on the sheets & stuff. It doesn't actually scare me but it makes the story even more creepy to me somehow. :\
Why, for the love of God,, when they thought that somebody switched John Bell’s medicine for poison, did they force feed it to their cat? Why? That is fucked up!
Cosmos correct. There is not written proof that Jackson ever had an encounter w/the bell witch. Alot off ppl think it was just added to excite the story. But i will say i was very disappointed in the movie american haunting. The bit w/the dad at the end....???
It did happened. I am member of the family. There is some Hollywood in it, but basically they got it right. I have been to the Tennessee and Mississippi Farms. If you want to know more, visit the many websites that talk about the bell witch.
I think ive heard of thos guy but it wasnt an evil spirit it was his mistress.he was cheating on his wife n the other girl wanted him to leave his family n since he wouldnt she did witch craft she used to kill him, if its the story I think thats how it went
>Live in Tennessee
>Go to Bell Witch Cave
>Car breaks down after leaving
>Mfw I took a rock
The sign depicts a Halloween witch riding a broomstick. It's a small town, so if you don't notice that sign, you'll drive right through it, like I did lol.
Damn I wanna go to Tennessee now.
Just like you all to know that it is 3 am in the morning and I'm watching this shit. Better yet? I live in Robertson county TN. I was actually friends with a member of the Bell family back in school. Bring on the nightmares.
I will tell yall about The Click tunnle or the Sensabaugh tunnle or the Baby tunnle all the same thing please go look up any of these on google and if your interested message me and ill tell you some stories.
Does the entity seem to be bound to the land? Or can it move around? If the latter, can it move far? I was thinking this might be a safe investigation to do the next time I go see my Uncle and cousins.
Love is like a talking pony, first your like "oh cool a talking pony" but then it says something really nasty to you and hurts your fillings so you take drugs to get along with the pony
I am actually a decedent of the Bell's. My Great Great Grandmother was Sally Bell from Robertson County, TN. She married my grandfather A.J. I know she was kin to John Bell, just not how.
O.M.G I READ A BOOK ABOUT THIS IN SCHOOL , could tell in the first few seconds
it they do that im all for whatever the witch does to em all ...go bell witch! i support you
I watched a TV show a few years back that talked about this. I think it was supposed to be a kids show, but some of the shit on their was kinda fucked up.
I have a book with this in, I always wanted the witch to be my best friend when I was little...
Maybe I am a bit strange...
Wanna be friends?
Actually it's said that John bell had a mistress who was a witch and he killed her because she became pregnant and wanted to keep the child
at midnight if you say i don't believe int he bell witch 12 times in the morning you will have scars and scrathes on your face
When i think of bell witch I think of an old lady ringing an annoying bell in my face repeatedly with me going -____- *facepalm*
Same here, bud. I've heard this story some many freakin' times. My library has an entire book on this stories' history.
Was this thing red? You should look up stories of "The Rawhide Man," or the Creepy Pasta story "Innocence Lost" if it was.
I've been there. I do not participate in bullshit, and I swear to God, I felt something Unnatural on that property.
I have a dog named 'Belle'...
*realization mode 3...2...1..*
WELL FUK!
that woman could have hated him no matter what he did and cursed him or the land dispute could be true demons exist
