Old Timey Crimey #32: The Bell Witch - "Deviltry Eggs"

We finish off our month of spooky crimes with the Bell Witch, the only spirit known to have killed someone. Or did she? We have thoughts...and some righteous indignation.

 

Along the way, we meet Andrew Jackson's douchebag witch tamer, Richard "Pervert" Powell, and learn about liar's clubs!

 

Learn about our brand new giveaway AND send us your creepy stranger stories! We shared ours--it's only fair. Send them to oldtimeycrimey@gmail.com.

Thanks for listening, and remember, don't be a racist ghost.
