Bell Witch Cave

12 Most Haunted Houses in America

"On early 19th-century farmland near the Red River, a family began to experience disturbing phenomena—from sightings of bizarre animals to physical attacks and conversations with an entity that some witnesses identified as a vindictive former neighbor. The haunting reportedly targeted the patriarch and his daughter, is blamed for preventing a marriage and possibly killing the father, and is supported locally by eyewitness accounts, affidavits, and contemporary manuscripts. Seasonal tours of the cave and adjacent cabin invite visitors to explore the longstanding legend." - Andrea Romano Andrea Romano Andrea Romano is a writer and editor in New York City.
