| Below - Picture taken at night in infrared of a group decending the path into the Bell Witch Cave for a tour. Geologists discovered the cave runs fifteen to twenty miles underground. On the bluff above the cave entrance is a documented ancient Indian burial ground. Archaeologists determined the bodies of the Indians in the graves in the burial ground are two to three thousand years old. |

The empty tomb in the ground inside
the Bell Witch Cave once held the
remains of a 12-year-old Native
American Indian girl who had been
shot dead - probably by the settlers of
the area in the 1700's. A road crew in
the 20th Century dug up the Indian
girl's body. Out of respect for the girl
the county sent the bones to the owner
of the former Bell property so the
body could be buried with her
ancestors in the burial ground on the
bluff above the Bell Witch Cave. The
body was placed in the tomb inside the
cave.
According to Chris Kirby, who with
her husband Walter are the current
owners of the property, “one by one"
the bones of the little girl were stolen
by visitors to the cave. She said many
of the rocks that people pocketed
while on tours inside the cave have
been returned to the Kirbys by the
people who took them. They returned
the rocks because bad luck befell them
once the rocks were removed and
brought home.

The cave has produced
some very strange
photographs, some of which
include the appearance of
apparitions and unknown
people who were not in the
camera's viewfinder when
the photographs were
taken.

bright lights in the pictures to the left of Chris are lights that have been
built into the walls of the cave. People who have reviewed this photo
report that they see the outline of a bald-headed man-like creature to
the right of Chris, on the extreme right of the photo: his body is
imprinted on the rock wall, it seems. The creature's head is about even
with Chris' upper arm. People also report the shape of a person to the

| Pictured Below - In the heart of Adams, Tennessee, Paranormal Adventurer Joseph Flammer stands with Pat Fitzhugh, famed author of the book, The Bell Witch: The Full Account. Fitzhugh, who lives near Adams, is actually a distant descendant of John Bell through his mother. It was John Bell's family that was terrorized by the Bell Witch, as depicted in the movie, An American Haunting. |
| The story of "Kate," the Bell Witch of Adams, Tennessee is one that is troubling on many levels. On the first level, it is a frightening tale because the Bell Witch Ghost is the only ghost known to ever kill a man. It killed John Bell of Adams in 1820 after torturing him for years with bad health and psychological punishment. On another level, the ghost is terrifying because it could travel anywhere it wanted, including Europe, and it could time travel, too! In addition, the entity could talk. "The Spirit," or "Kate," as the Bell family called the ghost, even sang bawdy bar songs at John Bell's funeral! After John Bell's death the spirit said it would go away for seven years, and it did. But when the seven years were up, it returned to cause more havoc in lives of the Bell family members. Then it went away again. But before it left the spirit promised to return in 107 years. One hundred and seven years passed and the 1930's came and went in Adams without major troubles for the descendants of the Bells. Or is there more to the story than what we know? Some people claim the Bell Witch is still in Adams. Read The Paranormal Adventurers' account of their four day visit to Adams and watch their videos and decide. |
