Bell Witch The Movie
Bell Witch: The Movie — 20th Anniversary Edition
Starring Betsy Palmer (Friday the 13th)
In the early 1800s, a Tennessee family was haunted by a mysterious presence no one could explain — a voice in the dark, a force that could touch, speak, and even kill. Tennessee remains the only state in American history to officially recognize a death caused by a spirit.
This is that story — carefully rebuilt from firsthand accounts, local legend, and the written record. Bell Witch: The Movie follows the original accounts of the John Bell haunting, capturing the voices, the attacks, the manifestations, and the whispered name… Kate. The entity spoke with clarity, matched wits with witnesses, and recited the Bible better than the local preacher.
The film also features 19 original and traditional Bluegrass and Americana songs — a soundtrack that frames the story perfectly, sets the tone, and transports you back to the 1800s. The International Bluegrass Music Association recognized it as “some of the most authentic mountain music since O Brother, Where Art Thou.”
It’s been called Little House on the Prairie meets Poltergeist for a reason — a faithful, old-fashioned ghost story rooted in American history.
