Ghost Hunt for the Bell Witch: Chapter 1

Samuel, John, Bart, Abigail, Samantha and Rae are heading for a one week Fall Break vacation in Adams, Tennessee to investigate areas of the region where the infamous Bell Witch tormented the Bell family two hundred years ago.

Moreover is a town located near the Upper Cumberland area in Tennessee where the students attend a small community college. Their professor assigned each group a haunted place to vacate during their one week fall break and write a five-paged paper about their experiences and historical research which can make or break their grades.

As the group of six broom down to Adams, they stop at a local grocery store and purchase their meals for the entire week. Diana had a unsettled feeling that they will all experience the unknown as soon as they arrive at the hotel.

Two and a half hours later, they arrive at the hotel and settle in two rooms for each gender. “I have a feeling that there is a strong presence in this room,” Abigail said. “It’s unclear as to who or what the presence is, but the feeling is rather uncertain.” “Listen, it might be the air ventilator passing through the hotel,” Rae said to reassure her. “After all, the temperature is boiling hot outside.”

Before heading off to bed, the men and women gather around to assign their tasks for the next seven days. Men will take a trip down to the cave on day two while the women overlook the hotel and collect information from the internet and guests. On day three, women will take a trip down to the Old Bell High School while the men stay back at the hotel and write about their experiences at the cave. On the fourth day, the students will drive into town to ask locals about their encounters with the Bell Witch and add it to their paperwork. Day five is heading to the cemetery where the Bell descendants were laid to rest. Day six involves editing their homework. Day seven, they conclude their proof and drive back to class. Day eight, they present their project to their professor. Day nine, their final results conclude if they passed or failed the course.
