To the north was the farm of John Bell, an early and prominent settler from North Carolina. According to legend, his family was harried during the early 19th century by the famous Bell Witch, who kept the household in turmoil, assaulted Bell, and drove off Betsy Bell's suitor. Even Andrew Jackson, who came to investigate, retreated to Nashville after his coach wheels stopped mysteriously. Many visitors to the house saw the furniture crash about them and heard her shriek, sing, and curse.
