A very chilling ghost story about the Bell Witch in Tennessee. The book is actually a first-hand account of the supernatural events that happened to the Bell family in 1818. Anyone interested in ghost stories, especially those of the South, should read this one!

This is supposedly the true story of the Bell Witch of Tenn. which was the basis for the very bad movie "An American Haunting" which came out last year. The book is a bit more informative about the day to day events believed to substantiate the haunting and the final outcome.

Good book , But is verbadim The Movie An American Haunting. So you should read the book before watching the movie or it is kinda boring.

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.
