What People Are Saying About Bell Witch Cave
Featured Review

Contributor
In Short – The story of the Bell family's violent tormenting by a malevolent entity in the early 1800s is one of the most famous ghost stories in the country. It is believed that a spirit poisoned patriarch John Bell before disappearing to a nearby cave, threatening to return in the future. Tours of the cave and a reconstructed Bell Cabin are offered several months out of the year, weather permitting.
Editor's Tips
- When to Go:
- Bring the little spooks in October for cave and cabin tours, along with concessions, hayrides and psychic readings.
- Know Before You Go:
- Photos have captured strange occurrences on the property, especially the cave. Bring a non-digital camera and see what develops.
- The Extras:
- Deluxe tours are offered by appointment and include a candle-lit tour of the cabin and cave and a recounting of the legend with mysterious sounds and some of those eerie photos.

Wonderful afternoon. It's like going to a mini-museum. The historical facts and folklore are excellent. Very entertaining and knowlegeable staff. Be sure to hang around after seeing the cabin and cave to talk to the staff. They are more than happy to tell all types of folklore since the 1800's.
- Pros: Knowlegeable staff, inexpensive, historical
