(A Memorial)

 

The legend of the Bell Witch is different from others because it involved real people.  People just like you and me.  They had family, friends, intelligence, and values.  They worked, played, laughed, and cried, just as we do.  They had hopes and dreams, just as we do.  Some succeeded in life, and others failed, just as is the case today.  They walked the exact same land that many of us have walked in our lifetimes, but two centuries earlier. 

Perhaps the biggest difference between them and us is the reign of terror they were forced to endure, of which there was no escape.  These men and women, some of the most powerful and influential of their time and area, now rest peacefully -- many in unmarked graves surrounded by hills, forests, weeds, highways, and tobacco fields.  These people are long gone, but not forgotten.  Their legacy lives on -- here.
