In the first decade of the 1800s, John Bell moved his growing family from North Carolina to the Red River community in Robertson County, Tennessee. Bell, who became an elder in the Red River Baptist Church, was well-liked and respected by his neighbors and prospered as a farmer. As Bell worked his farm, a unique phenomenon occurred. Beginning in 1817 and continuing until 1821, John Bell and his family were allegedly "haunted" by a devilish spirit called a "witch" known as "Kate." The witch's actions were observed by many in the community, including the clergy. The events subsided only after Bell's death. Known as the "Red Book," and including the eyewitness account of Richard Williams Bell, son of John Bell, Ingram's account is the story of the Bell Witch.

From 1817 until 1821, a hostile, supernatural entity plagued the Bell family of Tennessee. Beginning with the appearance of a strange, unnatural creature in their corn field, the harassment of the family quickly escalated from simple knocking on the walls and windows of their frontier home to cruel physical attacks focused particularly on youngest daughter Betsy. The Bell home and their invisible tormentor soon became the dark wonder of the territory. Travellers from all points of the compass came to the Bell house to witness firsthand the taunts and violence of the unseen entity, including famously General Andrew Jackson, whose entourage experienced the preternatural harassment for themselves before fleeing its power. Ghost? Goblin? Poltergeist? Its nature has remained a mystery for two centuries. But in 1894, newspaper publisher Martin Van Buren Ingram released An Authenticated History of the Bell Witch, the Wonder of the 19th Century and Unexplained Phenomenon of the Christian Era. Based on the diary of Richard Bell, son of John Bell and brother of Betsy Bell, it incorporated interviews and others' accounts to paint a distinct and detailed image of the experiences of the Bell family as they faced supernatural oppression. Reprinted from the original text and including original illustrations, this Factual Planet edition is based on the rare and long out-of-print "Red Book" edition of Ingram's book, reviving its mysteries for readers interested in the hard-to-find paranormal history of the early United States.

The Bell Witch: Robertson County, Tennessee, 1817-1828. The Bell family are terrorized by an invisible entity that has taken up residence in their home. While the children are beaten and harassed in their beds, their father is stricken with wild seizures, and visitors are confounded by a disembodied voice that ridicules their attempts at investigation. An Authenticated History of the Bell Witch was the first published book on the legend, which has inspired such popular films as The Blair Witch Project (1999), The Bell Witch Haunting (2004), and An American Haunting (2006). Nicknamed the Red Book, it draws upon Our Family Trouble, the diary of Richard Williams Bell, who was a child at the time of the haunting. Ingram's account is widely considered the most important primary source for historians of the Bell Witch.
