	The Bell Witch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bell Witch is a folk legend that is identified as the cause of the Bell Witch Haunting — a series of supposedly inexplicable real events said to have been experienced by the family of Red River, Tennessee (Robertson County) settler John Bell, between 1817 and 1821.
		Betsy Bell’s engagement to a neighbour named Joshua Gardner is reported as the next focus of the invisible entity’s displeasure, and it is alleged to have followed and taunted them whenever they were alone together, leading Betsy to break off the relationship on Easter Monday in 1821.
		Bell’s death is reported to have signaled the end of the “haunting”, but before its departure the “spirit” is said to have told Lucy Bell that it would return in 1828.

		The abuse escalates as the "witch" vows to kill the family patriarch, John Bell, and torments Betsy, the teenage daughter, while simultaneously protecting her -- it interferes with Betsy's engagement to one young man and encourages the narrator, a mature, educated man, in his suit.
