Show Notes:

Your host Toni, and her guest star Jackie take on the 3 Hour Lantern Tour at the Infamous Bell Witch Cave on November 4th 2023. The tour included the cave, cabin, haunted dell, and Indian burial ground. They completed most of their research beforehand and learned new information from the tour guides and by exploring the grounds and looking over the documents provided. They got to hear first hand encounters, recollections of others paranormal experiences, and conducted interviews from the tour guide and the granddaughter of the current owners of the property.
