Dear listener, are you plagued by strange sounds at night? do you hear knocking on the walls and unexplained scratching at your bed posts? Are your sheets pulled off as you sleep, leaving you a bit chilly and with only the electrical charge of goosebumps to keep you warm? Well my friend, this is nothing new. Let us introduce you to the mysterious talking rabbit/dog hybrid demon thingy.. known as the Bell Witch.

In this episode we’ll attempt to immerse you into the haunted history of the Bell family and their life long struggle with this terrifying and unexplained entity. Some say a witch, others a goblin, while still others would point to a trickster spirit or demon of some sort. 

We explore the credibility of these stories and examine the source material while re-telling the stories through deep sonic soundscapes to put you in the mood for this halloween season.

Also.. Fox sister knocking, Andrew Jackson’s witch slayer, and Jon wants a sock-folding goblin of his very own!
