Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "While dozens of books and articles have rehearsed the chilling lore surrounding the "infamous Bell Witch of Tennessee," Rick Gregory takes a different approach. He illuminates the oral traditions that preserved and disseminated the tale; discusses the major factors in its regional, national, and international spread; analyzes how the legend mirrors other national and international stories with similar themes; and finally describes its modern circulation through the World Wide Web and other technologies. In exploring the Bell Witch story in this manner, Gregory sheds light not only on the folklore of Tennessee with its strong tradition of oral history but also provides insight into the persistent, global phenomenon of folklore itself"--

Book excerpt: The story of the Bells, an early 19th-century Tennessee farm family who begin to notice strange occurrence--odd noises, bangings, and gurglings. Eventually, an entity reveals itself to the family, calling itself, simply, the Witch, and makes it clear from the outset that it was sent to kill the family patriarch, John Bell. Word of its existence spreads, first through the Bell's slaves, then through the rest of the community. It tells jokes, makes predictions, offers unwanted advice, sings, and shows an intimate knowledge of the Bible, history and politics. It harasses those who annoy it, but saves its ire for John Bell and his teenage daughter, Betsy. These two become the focus of the apparition's attacks, both verbal and physical. Ultimately, the Witch fulfills its promise of killing John Bell.
