Bell Witch Cave, Tenneessee

According to legend, a family was terrorised here between 1817 and 1821. At first, the family noticed that a strange animal is lurking around their farm. Then they started hearing noises from the house: knokcking on the walls, noise of shaking key chains, noise of dropping stones. They also heard voices from the nearby forest. Later, their daughter, Betsy got injured by these evil, invisible forces and John Bell died in 1820 in strange circumstances, allegedly poisoned by Kate, one of the daughter of the family.
