below.
The
essential publication for anyone wanting to know more about the Bell Witch
legend and the REAL story behind the movie, "An American
Haunting." This book contains a goldmine of detailed, well-researched
information that was never been brought to light before its publication.
Do you want to
learn about the REAL legend and the history behind it, and which parts are fact
and which parts are fiction? "The Bell Witch: The Full
Account" is a thorough, well-researched book and that serves not only as a
good story, but also a research tool for all Bell Witch fans. As
its name implies, this book gives you the full account of the legend and the
people who were involved -- from North Carolina to Tennessee and
Mississippi, and from the early 1800s to the 21st century! The wealth of
information contained in this informative book was gathered and researched over
a period of 20+ years. The book includes the detailed story, pictures, footnotes, discussion notes, charts, index and
table of contents, various appendices, and biographical sketches of the real
people involved.
From the image of a
lifeless body hanging from a tree, to the apparition of a pale-faced woman and three
children in a field, Kate was all-knowing, all-powerful, and the
personification of evil. She helped children
in danger and nursed John Bells wife when she was sick; however, her two missions
were to destroy Elizabeth Bells engagement and to kill John Bell. She accomplished both. Generations later, many descendants of those who
were involved are STILL reluctant to discuss the legend. And even today, unexplainable things happen on and near what was once the Bell
farm.
After
more than two decades of exhaustive research, author Pat Fitzhugh for the first time
shares everything - the legend of the Bell Witch, the history of the Bell family and
Robertson County, common myths about the legend, biographies of those who figured
prominently into the legend, and detailed discussions about the religious and supernatural
theories he used in reaching his own conclusion about the origin, identity and purpose of
the Bell Witch. Backed by detailed footnotes, insightful endnotes, and explanatory charts, Fitzhugh sheds new light
to this epic tale of terror on the early-American frontier in this 406-page literary work.
From cover to
cover, readers will delve into the chilling supernatural terror that befell the John Bell
family and altered their lives forever. Pat Fitzhugh brings the legend to life in
the most comprehensive account written to date regarding what many believe to be the most
terrifying phenomenon ever known to humankind. Pleasant dreams.

By Richard Williams Bell;
foreword by Pat Fitzhugh; 78pp.
Electronic Reprint.
First appearing
in an 1894 publication, this 1846 manuscript penned by John Bell's son is believed to be
the only written eyewitness account of the "Bell Witch"
in existence.
Richard
Williams Bell remembered vividly the terrifying events that plagued his familys home
on Tennessees Red River during the early nineteenth century. An uninvited
entity took up residence in the fall of 1817 and commenced gnawing bedposts, slapping
children, reading minds, and performing other sinister acts. It manifested itself
both day and night; it knew the Bible; it even knew what people on the other side of the
world were doing.
The
entity hurt people; it was evil; it was a maligned being, straight from the depths of
hell. It often reminded the Bells and others of its agenda--to torment John Bell, father
of Richard Williams Bell, to his grave--which ultimately made him the only man in history
whose death was attributed to a supernatural entity. Those terrifying and painful
events at the beginning of the nineteenth century in rural Robertson County, Tennessee
changed lives forever and have baffled researchers to this day.
In
1846, twenty-six years after the death of his father at the hands of the entity, Richard
Williams Bell penned a manuscript containing his and his familys eyewitness accounts
of the horrific disturbances. The manuscript, entitled Our Family
Trouble, is the only written eyewitness account of the so-called Bell
Witch phenomenon, which is the most baffling and authentic haunting the world has
ever seen.
