The Bell Witch Part 2: The Story, the Newspaperman and Some Theories

Nashville Demystified

Behold! The second installment of our two part series on The Bell Witch.

Today weâ€re going to dive into the actual story—well, the QUOTE actual story—and get into many of the details that tend to be omitted in its retelling. Weâ€ll get to know M.V. Ingram, the author of the first book on The Bell Witch, a bit better, and weâ€ll examine theories on what the haunting may have *actually* been. And! I was contacted by one of the highest authorities on all things Bell Witch in regard to last weekâ€s episode, so Iâ€ll share a bit about that.

We’re joined by our pal Sean Nelson in this episode! Thanks so much for lending us your voice talents, Sean!

We also pull heavily from Betsy Philips’ blog Tiny Cat Pants. Particularly these installments:
