false <![CDATA[The Bell Witch: An American Haunting]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171853950m/123502.jpg 123502 3 Known throughout Tennessee as "Old Kate," the Bell Witch took up residence with John Bell's family in 1818.It was a cruel and noisy spirit, given to rapping and gnawing sounds before it found its voices.With these voices and its supernatural acts, the Bell Witch tormented the Bell family.This extraordinary book recounts the only documented case in U.S. history when a spirit actually caused a man's death.The local schoolteacher, Richard Powell, witnessed the strange events and recorded them for his daughter.His astonishing manuscript fell into the hands of novelist Brent Monahan, who has prepared the book for publication.Members of the Bell family have previously provided information on this fascinating case, but this book recounts the tale with novelistic vigor and verve.It is truly chilling. AUTHORBIO: RICHARD POWELL was a Tennessee schoolteacher when he first encountered the Bell Witch.He died in 1848.BRENT MONAHAN is the author of half a dozen novels, the most recent of which is The Jekyl Island Club.He lives in Pennyslvania. 118914 1997 The Bell Witch: An American Haunting total:134|5:2|4:2|3:0|2:2|1:0| 134 441 235 19 4 1 false false Tue Oct 21 05:22:11 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 25 12:35:29 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 21 05:22:11 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1 1 false false Mon Sep 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 18:00:21 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 21 19:39:30 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun May 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun May 24 14:43:44 -0700 2009 Sun May 24 14:43:44 -0700 2009
