Tennessee has many ghosts and hauntings, but it may be best known for the Bell Witch.
The “Bell Witch” is actually a ghost, who even frightened off President Andrew Jackson. Fleeing after the ghost threw furniture at him, he said, “I wish no more dealings with that torment.”
The original Bell Witch may have been one or several spirits. Today, at least one of them
lingers and terrifies people who visit the Bell Witch Cave. It was originally on the property of John Bell’s farm.
