October Patreon: The Bell Witch
The Bell Witch is a legendary poltergeist-like entity that haunted the Bell family in Tennessee from 1817 to 1821. The entity was said to be intelligent and vocal, capable of speaking, moving objects, and even physically assaulting family members, especially targeting John Bell and his daughter Betsy. The tale of the Bell Witch has easily become one of America's most chilling and enduring ghost stories.
