This is a detailed first-hand account of the Bell family's supernatural experiences. Although the author is listed as Monahan, the book is actually written by Richard Powell who witnessed the events. Powell was married to Elizabeth Bell, the young woman who bore the brunt of the ghost's violence. Determined to make sense of the haunting, Powell eventually learns the ugly truth from his own wife.

This is one of the most scary books ever!

Nothing like the movie, really.

A fair book about the famed Bell Witch of Tennessee. The book itself is very slow in the beginning, but picks up the pace. Although not as thrilling as a modern horror, it did hold my attention.
