About this listen
Tennessee, 1817. Scratches on the walls. Blankets tugged from beds. A voice in the dark that sang hymns, cursed neighbors, and mocked prayers. The Bell Witch haunting remains one of the most famous poltergeist stories in American folklore—but was it truly supernatural, or something closer to home?
In this Skeptic Wednesday, Alex and Evan revisit the Bell Witch legend, step into John Bell’s farmhouse, and trace the torment of Betsy Bell. From the death of her father to the laughter that echoed through his funeral, the haunting left scars and questions that still linger today.
But what if the Bell Witch wasn’t a witch at all? We dig into psychology, folklore, and modern accounts of poltergeists—from restless spirits to trickster energies that seem to thrive on attention.
Was it ghost, hoax, or human fear itself? Tonight, you decide.
