The Bell Witch Cave

As the tale goes, late in the summer of 1817, a vicious, evil witch began to terrorize the Bell family on their Tennessee farm. She kept them up late at night with strange, eerie noises, violently beat family members and eventually poisoned and killed the head of the family, John Bell. But during her four years on the Bell farm, she also made time to save a child inside the Bell Witch Cave and give a quick lesson on safety.
