The house was closed for am log time after that, on a recent visit, I could actually feel the energy in several spots in the house and sorroundings, particularly in the courtroom where I smelled the faint scent of a cigar. when I enter the hallway, I smelled perfume which may be common but initially attributing that to the young woman acting as docent.

It also been shown in many television serials and movies.Before a few years the American movie An American Haunting has been released which used The Bell farm as its main location. The story behind the Bell Farm haunting is so notable and recognized because it is said to be the only documented account in paranormal history when a ghost caused the death of a living person. Between the years of 1817 and 1821, the Bell Family was terrorized by some sort of entity, mostly said to be a woman, who became known as the Bell Witch or, more personally, “Kate.” She is said to have perturbed and tortured John Bell (the father of the family and victim of a nervous system disorder) so much that it lead to his inevitable death.

He was unable to sleep or recuperate and the ghost’s antics worsened his condition. It is also said that a vile with a strange black liquid was found at John Bell’s deathbed and that Kate herself claimed she gave it to him. Supposedly, in order to test the liquids validity, a drop was placed on the family cat’s tongue and it immediately killed the animal. Though the haunting of the Bell Farm has been sensationalized many times over, it is still inarguable that something happened there during those three years. A family and a community were terrorized by an entity of some kind, and residents still believe Kate is up to no good.

Wow, it sure is interesting to read about all these haunted and scary places. I would not say that I am unafraid, but if I were to visit any of these places, I'd rather do it with numerous companions and during the day when the sunlight can give a bit of courage!
