Tennessee - The Bell Witch

"The Bell Witch" haunted the Bell home in Tennessee in the early  1800s.  The "witch" was actually a poltergeist, which did lots of annoying things like throw things around and scream/knock loudly at all hours.  John Bell, the father, died during the Bell Witch's tenure.  Some claim he was poisoned by the Witch.  Betsy Bell, John's daughter, is suspected of having faked the whole thing.  Reliable records are lacking, so we'll probably never know whether the Bell Farm was truly haunted.
