Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- In the quaint town of Adams, Tennessee a sinister legend is what this town is best known for. Folks believe that spirits, ghosts, and orbs can be heard talking. Some believe that whatever was lurking in a house in Adams was stuck between the spirit world and the living. Could it have been witches? Or could it have just been the imagination of a small town?

Bell witch story was the first ghost story I have read as a kid and I was hooked ever since 😊 Greetings from Finland ♥️
@Draugr Tack så mycket! 😄♥️🤘🏻
@Draugr Nej, det var en faktabok om spöken min mamma har köpt 👻
Me too. The one with the green hardcover.
Lol stay
I see you subscribed to how to hunt. A fellow kindred spirit in Massachusetts
I've been fascinated with the story of The Bell Witch ever since I was a child.
Same here. I want to make it into a movie
Love how the skeptic is so close minded and set in her ways that even when she literally admits to seeing a ghost TWICE, she still tries explaining it away. Delusional.
Sounds like a good cover story for a murder to me. Just saying
That’s what I was thinking
Doesnt sound like a cover story to me.
You could be right, but that doesn't really explain how the Bell witch was able to predict the civil war and world war
@@CharmanderCharlie96 that doesnt explain a dog with a rabbit’s head either
I have heard stories about the Bell Witch...one of my favorite paranormal shows have found some very strange and interesting things during their investigation...thanks for another great video 👻💖
Anybody ever stop to think Betsy was being abused by her father, and she or someone else in the family poisoned him? That would explain why he was kicked out of his church, and why she was afraid to sleep alone for the rest of her life.
I sure did something going on in family why was she told not to marry ???
She did get married and lived to be over 80, with one of her daughters. It told her not to marry Joshua Gardner, but to marry a much older man who was her teacher and who was supposed to be involved with the occult. (supposedly)
The Hollywood movie portrays John Bell as a molester. (of course when we know what goes on in Hollywood) An independent film made in 2004 is much more accurate. He was excommunicated from a church over a financial dispute with Kate Batts.
@@AnaMaria-wn6jn Yep that's what made people think that lol the movie made it so.
Pat Fitzhugh has an interesting video on here about the history to that part of the story. Spoiler alert, it's not true.
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of it was because of the cave on the farm, don't echoes carry? Couldn't a family member or foe mess around with the family? And any physical activity seen by outsiders could have been due to unstable ground and expectations. I would love to find a true story about this topic, but I can't get engulfed in this case bc the cave through me off right away
the cave isnt actually central to the occurrences. The events that went on at the property were.
I think it is safe to say that Betsy poisoned her father and used the legend to cover up her deed.
Why would she do that she was hauntec by this thing too
@@catherinefilbeck883 I don't believe in what some call "haints". I live in a town where supposedly ghosts rule, and yet, I have investigated all these tales and found nothing. I do love a good ghost story, you can learn a lot of history about an era or a place from them. But I just don't believe in them. Most of the times, as is the case of my town Harpers Ferry, these stories only serve to do one thing...make money and bring in tourists.
like how Mary created a new religion because she cheated
I grew up nearby. My grandmother used to tell stories about witches she allegedly knew growing up, including the Bell Witch. As kids, we used to have seances to talk to her. She would occasionally show up & create noises or make something fall off a shelf, etc. Then we’d all get scared & scatter. It was good fun. I didn’t think anybody outside TN even knew about her. Most settlers in TN came from Scotch-Irish immigrants. That culture embraced magic & “witchcraft” in its legends. A lot of us believe the earth & land have powers that some people can tap into. These days the Christian influence is greater than the pagan ones, but years ago, there was a lot of Wiccan type religious rituals. My high school -to this day- has a big celebration of Beltane, even though it’s now a very Christian community.
@@sharimartin122 how do you know, you’re not a paranormal investigator
greetings from New Zealand 💃🇳🇿
Went to Adams, TN from Clarksville in the early 1970's with a few friends. Back then there were no tours or commercial products like today. Had an experience at the old homesite that has spooked me since.
The whole play thing is an awesome idea. That sounds like fun
The bell witch cave is actually a Indian burial ground the graves are on top of the cave and it is definitely haunted by something and it’s my home town and the legend of the bell witch has been around for many many generations and the house cabin whatever you want to call it is haunted by something
This show is great but this episode is just basically about tourist attractions in the area
Agreed.
@@stephanieden4 Yeah, agreed. But hey, gotta make money some how....so get a good story goin' about some witch.
Kate doesn't need to be "dead" to be the witch. If Kate Batts was skilled in what we now call "Out of Body travel" she very much could have been alive in one part of the country and still attacked the family in another part of the country. Some people are born with the ability to travel out of body and others like the Strigoi-Viu of Romania learn to do it via training from family.
Oh...for sure, I do that. Saves a lot uber$$$ and Ive never had to buy a vehicle.
Bell Witch creates some crazy good music. It's an aquired taste for sure, but I highly recommend listening.
If it can scare a mortician, keep it the hell away from me!!!
15 minutes worth of information spread over 45 minutes. The end drags on and on.
Kinda like your comment
@ ok
Awesome video my friend. I love the history of Tennessee.
I was literally just there last Tuesday lol
I've been busy whilst this was on so kept zoning out, but any time I was zoned in there was no bell witch talk, other than the town tourist type junk around it. Did I miss something?
Nope this is more like a 45 minute ad for the town than a documentary about the Bell witch.
My uncle and aunt lived on the Bell farm in the early 60's. They milked cattle for the owner, Mr. Bim Eden. I've spent many nights there as a kid when we came down to visit.
I live there for 3 years,I saw several dancing skeletons,and a ghoul who killed my mama.
At Stonemountain Ga. There is a storytelling tour of Southern Ghosts At the historic plantation so great come see it Oct.
Where exactly is this held ? I'd live to visit, did a lot of driving thru the okee crept me out and the peanut farms really dark and creepy...
Been to Adams many times I'm from Tennessee not to far of a drive,weird vibe when you roll up there
When I was the age 6 years old in 1976, my family & I moved in my irst haunted house. It was a very bad house! My mother found documentation that stated this property was ancient Indian burial ground. THE REAL DEAL! We ended up living there for 5 years.
After that, from 1981- 1998 I lived in another 11 other haunted houses.
Finally in 1998, I had enough!
I cried out to the Lord Jesus Christ. I begged him into my heart & asked Him to please make it all to stop!
I have not been bothered again since 1998.
Only Jesus Christ can protect you now in this life and in the afterlife against these demonic spirits!
If you are having this problem then Jesus Christ into your life. Ask him to be your lord and savior. Ask him for his protection along with his holy angels. If you are sincere, I guarantee you 100%, you will be saved and not be bothered again by these evil entities!
Love these stories
Its called a game of telephone
Willie Morris put it in his will that he be buried 13 steps from the witch’s grave. 🙀🙀🙀
So a guy wrote a story about a local family (or two, including the Batts) and instructed his heirs to wait until the principal people involved were all dead before the book was released, so that no one could refute it.
And people believe it to this day. Oof.
Lemme ask you, if you were living in a small town which was very religious, and you were a witch, would you go around advertizing it? Nope. They still burned witches back then.
Can I move to Adams? What a cool sounding place.
Usury is lending money and then charging a very high interest rate
We bought land in the smokies 2 years ago will finally be moving there this year cant wait to meet the bell witch
I stayed at the bell farm for 2 weeks.
The only thing I saw was a clacking dancing skeleton and a bouncing severed head.
Dont be stupid, chucklehead.
@@julianBraga sorry,are you the Bell Witch Appreciation Society president?
@@jquest43 I'm whatever you'd loke me to be.
@@julianBraga please,please develop yourself.
Don't embrace banality as most wahmen do.right now you are lacking.
As to spirits ( never trust them)

@@jquest43 oh please...your English is so whacked out man you dont even know your own name.
Have anyone ever tried to talk to the native American who really owned the land they might give you some insight on the land
@Lafe Denton ok lol
Debra Spearman right lol okay. I agree with your initial comment; Native Americans certainly would give excellent insight!
Boom Diggaty her idea stems from the fact that natives were known to curse land, especially holy land they felt they were robbed of by settlers.
Being from Oklahoma, you hear of these things often and you stay far away from areas that are known to be Indian burial grounds.
First, I doubt any actual indians of the past would identify with " Native American " much less understand the English language of today!
Second. Indians believe ALL land is either sacred or cursed. Or both.
If this were the case. Most every city in the US is cursed and is haunted by something.
Urrgh not everything revolves around American Indians
The Tennessee accent is sharp on the ears.
This doc doesn’t really follow a story line, it just skips all over when you get into it!!!!
i been to the cave it was cool but didnt see the plays they did wish could have seen that
Why are all but two of these in the conspiracy playlist set to private?
Please!!! And I have the loch Ness monster in my bathtub!!!😂
That's not a very humane habit for Nessy. He needs room to swim. 🤣
And I have a 30ft trousers snake who eats pretty women 😅
I noticed he works in a funeral home. Something could have followed him home from there.
Here because of mr ballen story
Excellent.
Background music is fatiguing Switched off clip.
Please leave
Phillip u muppet 😅
Bell witch you mean Carol baskin
Carol Baskin couldn't compare to the bell witch, sorry
Tennessee is also known for one other thing...moonshine.
In the movie "An American Haunting" the Bell Witch only came to the Bell because John Bell was sexually molesting his own daughter, and it had to show the mother what her husband was doing to their daughter, and then Betsy's mother had poisoned John for what he did.
That's BS.
Even Betsy later on said her father was a Godly, good man, and no one could figure out why he was tormented so badly.
Betsy later believed it was her husband, Richard Powell, involved in the occult, who had used it to destroy her engagement to Joshua Gardner, and to kill John Bell Sr, because he ( as well as other men, due to him talking about the occult) was against Powell wanting to court Betsy.
There's a lot of circumstantial evidence, which points to that having been the case.
Maybe do a little research sometimes. Lol
Had the trailer tears happen before or after this happened
Love the video 🐭
If Kate Batts felt that she was cheated with the land deal. Then why wouldn't she have sold it for the price she did?
My name is Paul Batts, john bell got what he had coming to him.
oh i need this house i love it.. i want it ill live with the ghost thats fine
Men you don't know what it feels like someone watching you while you sleep or any seconds accident might happen to you. 😨😨
傑堡Jpao .. thats bs.. its a beautiful house i dnt care bout the ghosts we can live together hell give me this house
im a ghost hunter and oh yes i believe in ghost my own home has shadow people and i get alot of evps also i get things in the woods strange sounds and sometimes strange figures one my best catches was a face what looked like a goblin or something like that the face looked rugged lots of winkles picture is so clear im proud of that picture is so hard to get proof so rare but i feel i got proof of something going on
a mountain range 5 hours away...yea thats where the fog came from lol
They aren't saying that that particular fog comes from the mountains. They're simply reminding everyone that the area is known for it's fog.
#BELIEVER!!!!!
Why don't call a psychic?
NEVER GET A WITCH UPSET . john bell looked for it and he found it . witches are risen. kate batts im on your side , us witches stick together.
I believe in paranormal but this one is just silly its all yokels telling stories
interesting but my first witch story is the Blair witch and it is supposed to be true to
Franklin Archambault the blair witch isnt, i live right outside of adams and its a creepy little townn i personally havent had a experience, but there is just some bad vibes in that 🕙 area
the blair witch was supposed to have been in Ohio or illinos and it started with some missing children
Franklin Archambault im not sure about the legend of the blair witch, i know the movie isnt real but as far as the legend i know nothing about it hell she may have really existed, but kate batts who was the bell which was a real woman ive heard a million stories growin up 10 minutes from there. the town adams does put off some spooky vibes there are some creepy old buildings and you can go to the bell witch cave amd the house its pretty cool
he story is she did but as I remember it these kids went missing and when the search parties looked for them one of the things they found was some of the search party members dead and placed in a circle I thought it was interesting in its self
The legend of the Blair Witch is supposed to be true; the movie was as phony as a $3 bill.
how in hell is she going to see a ghost behind a stove, come on lady tell me something better
To be honest, you could probably fit a child behind my stove. Not all are built flush with the back wall if you live in an old-fashioned property.
That said, I imagine this woman saw moonlight shining through leaves (or something similar outside or perched on a windowsill), the light just happening to shine through a window and hit the back wall behind the stove in just the right way.
There's a word for the human tendency to see faces in patterns... (looked it up) 'Pareidolia.' I imagine that was all it was.
It was a disembodied voice? Pffft
And ??
I think this is more to do with local town America being desperate for some history.
_This here's the buuucket 'ole Jeb used tah spit out his chaw innn_
Scary
it wants to kill john bell because he shot at it
Nice town especially the statue glorifying a paedophile.
Donald trump?
@@redradio69englebert99 Nah. If it was Trump the liberals would worship him.
Killery?
Who?
I don't think I would like to visit there even tho it's 2 hours away.Indians have a burial ground there over the cave
Yes. Jill for Jesus Tennessee.
well that's not a witch or a spirit, its a demon.
Too many ads. Hard to watch.
This is not the way a Witch does her magic, it sounds more like a poltergeist or demon spirit
A possessed witch
From the information I had at the time. Katie was the Granddaughter of a native American female Sharman. And she was taught by her. And I truly don't know what you personally practicing. But it's not uncommon at all for someone who practice the craft to call upon a elemental sprites. Witch are nothing but a lower level Demon,.
@@DavidFPike I don't know where you obtained your information from but, witches are definitely *not* "lower level demons".
Sounds kinda like skinwalker criteria to me
@@DavidFPike I’ve always been told witches are women/men (traditionally women tho) who gave their soul to the devil for powers, either knowingly or not. Voodoo has powerful witchcraft going back hundreds of years… they may call it different names but many indigenous tribes from all over the world as well.
Lot's of "The story", "The Legend", "The history", without actually telling the exact story. When did it start? When/what/who was the first incident? Etc.
😊😊
I
It is a shapeshifter Native American that's what happens when you disturb their graves they're very right over top of the bell witch cave there's not no such thing as a bellwhich it is just a shape-shifter didn't even with the ones that Disturbed them the cave needs to be closed down they need to fill it up with dirt that is sacred land
You need to get back in school or else write again when you're sober/unstoned.
Every bury spot is sacred ground not just native American bury grounds😮
Didn't like the narrators voice.
Like I’m going to believe some back woods hillbillies.
I find this interesting being A male witch the idea of coming back to torment the living sounds fun to me
