The cave is down a gravel path from the Bell house. It was short and pretty easy to walk through, although it was fairly wet. We were warned about spiders but I didn't encounter any.

This site is closed Mon-Wed all year around. We drove to see it only to find a locked gate and new posted hours of operations.

There is a cave. That is no joke. You have to duck down and finagle your way through. There are a million spiders. But it's totally worth it.

Bell Witch Cave

On our recent road trip we toured three caves. This was our favorite. We were the only two people on the tour. The owner of the property was our guide and she was lovely. She was full of information and showed us some creepy pictures other visitors had sent.

The cave is directly under an Indian burial ground that is over a thousand years old. There was a young girl buried in the cave, but vandals stole her bones long ago. Our guide led us through the cave and told us great stories along the way. I'm not a big believer in the supernatural, but even I got a little creeped out.
