   Hi There,
   There’s just something about the supernatural that either scares people senseless or intrigues them completely. Every small town has its urban legends or “haunted sites.” The scenarios may be the same, altered a bit depending on who’s telling the story, but regardless, every town has its stories, its tragic places and its unresting spirits. The subject of ghosts has fascinated people for hundreds of years, as it still does today.
   
   The south, with all of its history, is known as one of the most haunted or spiritually active states in the nation. Tennessee is home to one of the most disturbing ghost stories of all time, the Bell Witch. There are several books about the witch, but many Americans heard the story for the first time in the movie An American Haunting. The Bell Witch is a story about John and Elizabeth Bell and their children, who lived in Adams, Tenn. in the 1800’s.
   
   According to history, the story of the Bell Witch started in 1817 when the Bell family began experiencing strange phenomena in their home. First, the house was plagued with knocking and rapping noises and scratching sounds. As the spirit grew stronger, blankets were pulled from beds, family members were kicked, scratched and their hair pulled.
   
   According to many reports, the spirit identified itself as the witch of Kate Batts, a neighbor of the Bells, with whom John had experienced bad business dealings over some purchased slaves. Though never explained, the Bell Witch story continues to fascinate. The Adams community isn’t the only Tennessee town to suffer the wrath of wayward spirits though. McNairy County is home to its own ghosts and possible hauntings.
