Known throughout Tennessee as "Kate Batts' witch" or simply "Old Kate", the Bell Witch was a supernatural force that took up residence with John Bell's family in 1818. A cruel and noisy spirit, it was given to rapping and gnawing sounds before it found its voices.
With these voices and its many supernatural acts, the witch brought death into the Bell household. This extraordinary book recounts the only documented case in U.S. history when a spirit actually caused a man's death.
Local schoolteacher Richard Powell witnessed the strange events and recorded them for his daughter. His astonishing manuscript fell into the hands of novelist Brent Monahan, who has prepared the book for publication. The results are chilling.
