The Bell Witch Cave

The Bell Witch of  Tennessee is probably one of the most popular ghost stories ever in the United States. Now because of all, that’s been documented on this story I will not go into great detail because if I did it would take hundreds of pages just to cover all the information that is known about this haunting. To make a long story short basically the back in the early 1800’s a farmer named John Bell and his family were tormented and traumatized by s demon for almost 4 years. The haunting was the result of a curse placed on the Bell family by a Ba’al worshiper and this allowed Ba’al to unleash his demonic legion to assist in the tormenting and persecution of the entire Bell family until the curse was fulfilled with the death of John Bell.

A little ways from the site of the old Bell farm near Red River is a cave called the Bell Witch Cave. Now legend has it that this cave is where the spirit went to hide after the death of John Bell until it is able to find it’s next victim. However like most time’s legend gets mixed with anything legend is wrong. Don’t get me wrong this cave is a very bad place but not because of what’s inside of it but it’s a bad place because what is able to come out. You see upon making her deal with Ba’al the eccentric woman who unleashed Ba’al’s legion on the world created a doorway in which they may enter by drawing the symbol of Ba’al on the cave wall using the blood of 7 people and the ground up horn of a ram. This created a Hellmouth for the lack of a better term allowing Ba’al’s legions to enter our world at will while John Bell was alive and once every 12 years during fall harvest season for no more than 12 days.

So if you do visit this area it’s best to avoid it during October because that's when you're at risk if you're in the right numbered year. I hope you enjoyed some added in site to the Bell Witch story. Keep it spooky.
