| | The Bell Witch, a short take by Pat Fitzhugh from Underworld Tales Magazine |
 | | One day in 1817, John Bell was walking in his corn field when he encountered a strange-looking animal sitting in the middle of a corn row. |
 | | The encounters escalated in frequency and intensity, and the Bells’ daughter, Betsey, experienced a series of brutal encounters with the "spirit." It pulled her hair and slapped her face repeatedly, leaving visible handprints on her face and body for days at a time. |
 | | The only constant is that there was a John Bell who lived in the area at the time, and that something was "wrong" on his family’s farm; and, there is still something wrong at the old Bell place today, nearly 200 years later. |
