11. The Bell Witch
Pioneer’s lives on the frontier meant they faced all kinds of trouble. The one faced by the Bell family in the town of Adams, Tennessee, is from the stuff of legends. From 1817 to 1821, they had to contend with a poltergeist who could speak, change forms and move objects at will.
This legend has since then been passed into books, movies and there is even a dedicated museum and the Bell witch cave that people can visit.
