Spooktacular Tennessee

Bell Witch Cave, described as one of the most haunted places in the USA, sits on land once owned by the Bell family. As the legend goes, after a period of peaceful living on the farm, in the summer of 1817 the Bells began seeing strange creatures on the farm and hearing eerie sounds, including a disembodied voice echoing throughout their cabin. Located near the old Bell family farm, where numerous reports of terrifying encounters took place, and where John Bell is said to have died in mysterious circumstances, lies the Bell Witch Cave. Many believe this is where the Bell Witch fled and resides to this day. Unexplained activity has been reported, from rocks being thrown to unsettling noises – even mysterious lights have been seen and caught on camera.

Originally founded in 1880 by the British author Thomas Hughes, the entire village of Historic Rugby is said to be haunted. Today, visitors can tour the living Victorian village on an After Dark Tour, from Thursdays-Sundays, hearing ghost stories on a Haunted Village Lantern Tour or Haunted North Village & Cemetery Tour, both conducted by lantern light.
