2.0 out of 5 stars
Short On Sources And Facts,
By J. D Suggs (Atlanta, Georgia United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Infamous Bell Witch of Tennessee (Paperback)
This is sort of a touristy little version of a fascinating historical case. It might make a nice souvenir from a local gift shop, but it won't satisfy any serious reader or tackle any of the important questions the story raises. Were any contemporary accounts of the haunting published at or near the time? (Apparently not, unfortunately). Did Andrew Jackson really visit the Bells? What record exists that he did? (In fact, the evidence to substantiate this seems to be lacking). You can find a great deal more hard information on this extraordinary episode on any of several websites. The attempt to link the ultra-colorful and complex personality of the spirit known as Kate to some lights flickering in a cave near the site today is especially dubious.

Super!,
By Dennis Phillips "The Book Friar" (Bulls Gap, Tennessee USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Infamous Bell Witch of Tennessee (Paperback)
Anyone who has an interest in Tennessee's most famous ghost should check out this book. It takes a long and complicated story and breaks the facts down in a clear and easy to read way. I have read several of Mr. Price's books and this is by far the best. We even get an update of "Kate's" activities into the 1990's. Is the Bell Witch still in Adams, Tennessee? I don't know but reading this book has made me want to go over to Robertson County and find out. On the other hand, if she was too tough for Andy Jackson I might just stay here.

A great retelling of this fasinating and mysterious story!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Infamous Bell Witch of Tennessee (Paperback)
I found this book to be a very interesting page turner. Mr. Price is a great writer who knows how to keep your attention. I have enjoyed every book of his that I read and this one is no diffrent.I live less than 2 hours from the small community of Adams and have been to the locations that Mr. Price writes about. What I really enjoyed was that he not only told the story, but also told modern day stories about things that still go on in Adams, especially around the cave and Red River(both of which are on or near the old Bell farm).The one thing that seperates the Bell Witch from other supernatural stories is that hundreds of people at one time or another witnessed it, even Andrew Jackson himself, and this book tells about these events, too. So if you want a story to read for folklore, history , or a dark night ,get this book. You won't be disapponted.
