The definitive account of the Bell Witch haunting,
By Dr_J "Jim" (New York, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Season of the Witch (Paperback)
With a major motion picture soon to be released on the Bell Witch incident (An American Haunting, starring Donald Sutherland and Sissy Spacek), you will want to get the facts on this bizarre chapter in early American history. Season of the Witch by Troy Taylor is a compelling account of the events surrounding the Bell Witch haunting. This well-researched book chronicles the history of the John Bell family and the area around Adams, Tennessee, and then proceeds to delve into the Bell Witch legend that has baffled researchers and historians for nearly 200 years. Taylor does an excellent job of attempting to separate fact from fiction - not an easy task here, since the story has been passed down by so many people for so many years. Season of the Witch contains much historical information (Andrew Jackson even makes an appearance), and at the same time discusses paranormal phenomena in a straightforward, non-sensationalistic manner. The author presents various theories on the Bell Witch haunting, and ultimately lets the reader decide what to believe. A fascinating and informative read.

A Good Read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Season of the Witch (Paperback)
Troy Taylor has done a good job of telling this legend and providing interesting insights into what might have caused the Bell Witch to come about. I buy into the "portal" theory and think he did an excellent job of explaining it. The only real problems I had with this book is that the type is hard to read, and that some of the sections lack a smooth transition. All in all, this is still a good read.

Wonderful reading!,
This review is from: Season of the Witch (Paperback)
Troy Taylor did a wonderful job on this book. It shows many pictures of the area in Tenn. where the Bell Witch is located and helped me when I traveled there to find it. This book was the most informitive book I have read on the Bell Witch. He also wrote a book I bought on Spirits on the Civil War, which will be my next trip. It was easy reading and I could not put book down. If you are interested in anything Paranormal, Troy Taylor is the way to go!
