- In 1818, Richard Powell (David Compton) teaches at a small rural school near the Red River in Robertson County, TN.
- Among Powell's students is young Betsy Bell (Amanda Card McCoy), whose family was about to experience what they would later refer to as 'the family trouble'.
- John Bell, Sr. (Martin Abraham), Betsy (Amanda Card McCoy), Mrs. Lucy Bell (Ann Love Judd) share a rare quiet moment with the younger Bell brothers before the hauntings would change their lives forever.
- Not even their faith in God could keep the Bell Witch from tormenting the Bell family, seen here during a revival meeting.
- The strange occurrences weren't limited to Bell family members like older brother John Jr. (Matthew Raich) and Mom, Lucy (Ann Love Judd), even family friend James Johnson (Danny Proctor) witnessed the frightening visits from the Bell Witch.
- The Bell Witch would often taunt curious visitors to the Bell family home by challenging them to name a scripture she couldn't quote.
- Aside from John Bell, Sr., the two Bell women, Mother Lucy (Ann Love Judd) and daughter Betsy (Amanda Card McCoy) suffered the most, albeit in very different ways.
- Only the love of her former teach, Richard Powell (David Compton), seemed enough to break Betsy (Amanda Card McCoy) from the Bell Witch's hold over her.
- In spite of her 'family trouble', Betsy (Amanda Card McCoy) found eventual happiness after marrying her former teacher and giving birth to eight children.
- Go ahead, grab a candle, stand in a dark room in front of a mirror, repeat the words, "I hate the Bell Witch" three times, blow out the candle and see what happens...
