Real Haunted House

Bell Witch Cave

Adams, Tennessee

Local legends say that the Bell Witch has haunted the area surrounding the caves for hundreds of years. It is said that the witch appears to people in the human form. There are many unexplainable pictures of shadows and other such entities in the cave. Upon entering the cave, it is alleged that one will be overcome by the feeling of being watched. It is further asserted that if one is to take a rock from the cave, they shall be forever be cursed. Many others have also reported voices in restricted areas of the cave that cannot be reached by any human.

I have been to this cave, and the guides told us that story. I went for one
Halloween. The cave was cool;however, I did not believe in the story.
It wasn’t until the guide took our group picture when I became a believer. There were 22 people in our group, but only 21 of those people showed up in the picture.

I have been there twice. The first time it was owned by a family and they would let the last tour go in and explore the cave as they wanted. My friends and I went all over the cave. Nothing happened, or so we thought. Two of us had cameras. We were taking random pics but the general rule we made was that one of us would always be in the shot. There was one pic where only my friend’s arm and hand showed up on a wall, beside her hand was a snake. The snake was not there while taking the pic. The second time we went, the cave had been pretty much closed off to the general public by the new owners. The tour was smaller and you weren’t allowed to go off on your own. One of the ladies in the tour claimed her hair had been pulled twice. I can not say if this was due to a haunting or just someone playing tricks. Afterwards, my daughter and I had our palms read just for fun. Being the sceptic (if i spelled that right) that I am, I suggested we write down what the reader had told us and go one year later to see if any or if happened. 90% came true. Even me getting pregnant, when my tubes are tied. If you go there, it is fun none the least, I can not guarantee you will be scared but you do feel SOMETHING. DO NOT take a rock from there. On my first trip one of the girls took one. Within a week she broke her arm, wrecked her car, and was shot at. She returned the rock and as far as I know, things returned to normal. If you don’t know where it is, just go to Adams Tn (close to Springfield Tn) and ask the locals to give you directions. It seems everyone there knows where it is, you won’t have any trouble finding someone to give you directions.

I was wondering, if the girl Dawn’s story took a rock from the cave, why didn’t she die right out, the way the person from Bob’s story did? Was she lucky, or is the story a fake, as I believe it is? What do you believe?

I once have been to the cave, cemetary, and the bellwitch farm and I must say that is is one of the creepiest feelings I have ever encountered. One of the teachers at my school used to take a cple of ppl to the cave every yr. because he loved it but one time he took my brother and a cple of other boys out there and they went to a certain part in the cave that hardly anyone knows of and they came out with deep scratches and bruises all over their backs. Because of this he has never gone again. Seeing as in how I believe and my friends believe in ghosts and that we live really close to Adams (35 min. drive) we went one time and I must say we had some STRANGE encounters also…

DO NOT TAKE THIS SITE LIGHTLY!
1) The residents of Adams are nice people and are proud of their history, but they do not take lightly to people making a nusnance of themselves in order to have a cheap paranormal thrill. Remember this is a rural area and the residents are often armed and are crack shots!

2) Ever see the sign, “Forget the Dog, Beware of Owner!”, well there should be a sign at the edge of town that reads, “Forget the Redidents that you might tick off, BEWARE OF KATE!” Kate KILLED John Bell, beat members of his family, ruined an engagement of one of the Bell daughters, and scared the Hell out of Andrew Jackson. Jackson went to visit Bell and his carrage was stuck in one place. After having her fun with the soon to be President, she told him that he could go on to the Bell Farm. You can look in his published personal letters to find the entery on 11/02/1816 “…I would rather fight 2,000 British Regulars than face that thing again…” This is coming from a man that fought three duels, was involved in a little incident at the Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville that left three men dead, a hardened Indian fighter and a Genreral during the War of 1812 (Hint: Battle of New Orleans). He knew how to face his fears and knew when to withdraw!
THIS IS NOT A GHOST BUT AN ENTENTY! IF YOU GO LOOKING FOR THIS THING AND ARE NOT PREPAIRED, YOU WILL PAY A PRICE!

just the thaught of it gives me goose bumps…..me and my cousin were tellin about all the freaky things that ever happened to us and he said that he had been to the bell whitch’s house but he wusnt sure….he said that there was a HUGE field but there was only one tree in the middle of the field and in front of it was some rocks in the pattern of the sacrifise star……and behind that there was a white house that had a fence around it and the house looke like it dated back about 200 years…….and behind that there was a cave that was boarded up and he was with his cousin when they were trying to open up the cave when they heard high pichted screem so they stopped wut they were doin to go look for the sound but instead they heard a horse galloping but they couldnt see a thing so they ran as fast as they could to get out of the field…………so after he had told me the story we went to look up bell whitch but when we did, every thing that he had described to me was in the pictures of the artical! (IF THATS NOT SCARY NOTHING IS!)

I have been there and took pics.. my camera worked fine all the way through the cave except for around the entrance. I was taking a pic of my husband and the camera wouldn’t work.. I was examining the camera and it went off and took a pic of some rocks..when you look at the pic it looks like a mans face and a little girls face, facing each other.. want to go back soon.. I was also three months pregnant at the time, the little girl I had acts like the bell witch..
