Folklore can simply be described as beliefs, customs or legends
handed down and preserved among a people. Some believe they are
merely made up tales designed to entertain, while others believe
folklore may be based on truths that have been gilded over the
years by the oral tradition, yet their truth survives as valuable
instruction or even a warning. Whether the legend of the Bell
Witch was based on a real poltergeist event with the details
being accurately preserved, or somewhat true but padded for
effect, or wholly a lie spun to cover more humanly misdeeds,
we'll likely never know. But before you dismiss the Bell Witch
story outright, first think about your own family's stories or
even how your own true tales you've told will be perceived
through the lenses of bias and time. Will you be remembered as a
faithful narrator or a liar? The purported entity called "Kate"
may have left her legend behind for later generations to make
that judgment but there are many who live in the area today that
claim something may still be lingering. So before you bravely
disrespect the legend of whatever it may have been, remember
there is nowhere you can hide from a force that will gleefully
visit misfortune upon you to make its point.
