John Bell Sr. who made his living as a farmer, lived with his family in Adams, in the early 1800's. In 1817 his family came under attack by a witch.  It began with noises in the walls and grew to include unusual sounds, people being slapped and pinched, objects being thrown and animals spooking without visible cause. In the 1894 book An Authenticated History of the Bell Witch, author Martin Van Buren Ingram claims that the poltergeist's name was Kate and that "she" frequently cursed the Bell family out loud. The activity centered around the Bells' youngest daughter, Betsy, and worsened after she became engaged to one Joshua Gardner. Several accounts report that Andrew Jackson who later became President Jackson, was intrigued with the story, traveled to investigate and was frightened away. Other stories relate that the family was haunted by scratching noises outside their door after Bell found a half-dog half-rabbit creature. Some stories end up with Bell being poisoned by the witch. And accounts vary about the witch being someone who had been cheated by Bell, or a male slave whom Bell had killed.
