Seguidoras Del Diablo Sufrieron En La Hogera Historias De Terror - REDE

0:05 The Witch Cage. In the 1950’ s, a wave of witchcraft- related hysteria spread throughout the county of Essex England. Hundreds of people were accused of making covenants with evil forces, sacrificing infants, and causing misfortune to their neighbors. This phenomenon, which occurred in various localities, had a significant impact on Sozi, a small town of approximately 2, 000 inhabitants. In this investigation we will focus on the thirteen people who were convicted of witchcraft in that place in 1, 500 eighty- two. Soci was a modest town, with a simple church, an austere cemetery and houses quite separate from each other.

0:53 Despite its size, as in many small towns, its inhabitants knew the secrets well. This closeness and mutual knowledge played a crucial role in the events that led to the trial of the thirteen women accused of witchcraft. Ursula Kemp, born in 1, 500 twenty- five, was one of the central figures in this historical episode. From an early age, he showed great interest in medicinal plants. Little is known about their origins. Her knowledge of natural medicine is presumed to have been passed on to her by her mother and grandmother. The fame of his healing skills spread beyond sozi by attracting people from neighboring villages in search of remedies for various ailments. One of Ursula' s neighbors, Grace Turlow, was the mother of two children, David and Joan.

1:47 Both children were allegedly victims of bad practices attributed to Ursula kemp. The incident began when Davy became ill with symptoms of cough fever and cold sweats. Grace, with limited resources, led Davy to Ursula' s consultation, which provided him free of charge. Ursula examined the child, provided him with remedies and indicated a treatment that should be followed for a week. In the middle of the week, Davy showed signs of improvement, so Grace decided to stop treatment. The disease returned with greater intensity. Grece initially acknowledged his mistake for not completing the treatment. Eventually Ursula was blamed for her son' s relapse, convinced that Ursula had not healed David, but had made him worse. The next incident involved Grace' s daughter, the newborn Joan. Grace took Joanna to Ursula' s office for a review. During the examination, Ursula noticed that the little one was not well cared for, showed signs of poor nutrition and a and some wounds. Ursula, in an attempt to help, offered maternal advice to Grace about caring for her daughter. Grace, instead of accepting the help, felt deeply offended, took her daughter and left the indignant consultation.

3:15 The tragedy began when Joan, Grace' s daughter, suffered a fatal fall from her cradle, breaking her neck and dying instantly. In the midst of her pain, Grace blamed Ursula Kemp, a woman she considered to be a witch responsible for the misfortune that had just happened. Grece was convinced that Ursula had cast a curse on her daughter, causing her tragic death. Despite their insistence, the villagers rejected Grace' s accusations, calling them exaggerated and groundless. The conflicts between Grace and Ursula did not end there. In a second unfortunate incident, Grey suffered a fall in the field that left her limp and with intense pain in her desperate leg. He again appealed to Ursula Kemp, who had initially provided his services free of charge. Tired of Grace' s constant accusations, Ursula decided to charge her twelve pence for her services.

4:23 Grace accepted the condition, but after receiving treatment, she refused to pay, claiming it was an angry scam. Ursula expelled her from her home and allegedly threatened her with death. From this point on, Grace Starlow' s testimonies acquired a dark and chilling tone. She claimed that both she and her son David began to get sick suffering from cold sweats, muscle aches and headaches. She was convinced that these symptoms were the result of the curses of Ursula Kemp Without the support of the neighbors, she decided to bring her accusations to the authorities, formally denouncing Ursula as a witch who made people sick and then forced them to pay for their cures. Grace Starlow' s accusations led to the opening of the first witchcraft investigation in Sozi. Weeks later, several men showed up at Ursula Kemp' s house, arrested her and took her to the village prison known as the cage. At that time, conditions in the prison were inhumane, with men and women assigned in tiny cells where the sunlight barely entered, Ursula was chained in the basements and subjected to terrible torture until she confessed what her captors wanted to hear, making covenants with dark entities and practicing witchcraft. Not only did he confess his own crimes, but he also pointed

5:59 to two other women as his accomplices in the dark arts. Among the defendants were their assistant Alice Newman and a widow named Elizabeth Bennett. When the names of the so- called witches were made public, the whole town plunged into a hysteria telling unlikely stories to make sure to see all those women hanging on the gallows. Alice Leal' s testimony was one of the most shocking. She stated that after refusing to provide Ursula with a cleansing product, Ursula cursed her daughter, who died in a few days from a mysterious illness. Among these testimonies is the account of Thomas, the son of Ursula, a child of just eight years old. Thomas narrated that his mother was protected by four familiar spirits who provided her protection because of her witchhood. These relatives were a gray cat llan do Gyan, a white lamb named Taity, a black toad named Pigin and a black cat named Jack. Thomas said that his mother fed these beings beer and cake, after which they licked his body. In an even more chilling account, the child claimed that Ursula and her assistant Alice Newman, in a conversation with these spirits, ordered them to kill several soci neighbors These testimonies may seem unlikely. They weren' t the only ones to unleash

7:33 her paranoia in the village. The charges were not limited to Ursula and her son. Neighbors full of jealousy and envy began accusing other women in Ursula' s circle of being Bruges. One neighbor stated that Alice Newman was preparing poison to worsen the health of patients in Ursula, another woman, claimed that Elizabeth Bennett, another of the alleged witches, had killed four children in the name of a dark entity. The thirteen women accused of witchcraft were imprisoned in the village prison cage, where they were subjected to all kinds of punishment. For weeks, they received neither food nor water and barely saw sunlight. Chained to the walls, they began to lose their strength. In February of 1, 500 eighty- two were brought to trial, where they confessed everything they were asked to do under the pressure of inhuman torture. The most shocking confession was that of Ursula Kemp. In a private statement to Judge Brian Darcy, Ursula claimed to have become a powerful witch after a series of extraordinary events. He said that ten years earlier he suffered a strange limp. One of his legs grew shrunk and his bones hurt intensely. Desperate. He visited a woman who lived outside Sozi known for her powers and abilities to communicate with animals and ghosts.

9:03 The woman told Ursula that her ailment was the result of a spell cast by someone with great envy. To be cured, Ursula had to perform a ritual that involved covering her entire body with pig dung, parsley, sage and St John' s wort. Willing to recover his mobility, Ursula followed the indications to the letter Surprisingly. A few days later, her leg healed completely since then, Ursula shared this ritual with the women of the village, consolidating her reputation as a healer with supernatural powers. The story of Ursula Kemp and her notoriety as a healer quickly spread through neighboring villages, attracting dozens of people in search of her help. His fame also aroused the interest of the authorities, especially Judge Braan Andarsey. In an inquisitorial session, the judge questioned Ursula about the relatives mentioned by her son Thomas. Incredibly, Ursula admitted her existence, claiming that she had four relatives, two males and two females. According to her testimony, males had the ability to kill people, while females could make them sick and destroy crops. In addition, Ursula confessed to being responsible for Grace Starlow' s illness and the death of her daughter Joan, as well as Alice Letterdale' s daughter and her sister- in- law.

10:37 These confessions led Judge Brian Darcy to plead guilty to witchcraft and sentence her to death. On the gallows of the thirteen women accused of witchcraft in Sozi, Six were hanged in Chelmsford, two died in the cage due to the terrible conditions of imprisonment, and the rest were released. Freedom for these women was an equally cruel punishment, as they were rejected by the community and lived the rest of their lives in utter solitude. In a thousand nine hundred and twenty - one, the discovery of two skeletons in the garden of a house in soci by Charles Brooker sparked a wave of interest. The popular belief that these remains belonged to Ursula Kemp and Alice Newman turned the find into a tourist attraction.

11:28 Over time, interest decreased and several historians began to question the authenticity of these remains. In two thousand and seven, historian Alison Rowland suggested that bodies could belong to any woman convicted of witchcraft between the 16th and 18th centuries. Finally, a forensic study revealed that the bodies dated back to Roman times, much older than had been assumed. Despite not having the bodies as a tourist attraction, soz kept his old prison intact, the cage on its main façade. A commemorative poster reminded everyone of the dark past of the village, attracting the attention of numerous tourists. In two thousand five, a forty- six - year- old woman named Vanessa Mitchell, originally from Sozi, decided to buy the old building. Vanessa had grown up with prison stories and seeing the Poster de se Vende, she did not hesitate to make an offer. Vanessa explained that she was attracted and needed to own that historic house. Despite her seniority and the relatively low price of£ 140, 000, Vanessa was determined to turn her into a museum. It anticipated structural problems such as humidity and the need for reforms. I was excited about the idea of preserving and sharing an important piece of Sozi' s story. Before concluding the purchase, Vanessa

13:01 contacted a psychic looking for guidance. This one told Vanessa. This is going to sound very strange, but I' m reading that the house has chosen you. Not you, her. That house has seen you and has chosen you. Be careful. Despite the disturbingness of these words, Vanessa interpreted them as a validation of her decision and did not give them greater importance. On the day of the move, Vanessa and her best friend, Nicole met with an unpleasant surprise. From the first moment they came in with their bags. They felt an uncomfortable presence, as if the house was already occupied by others.

13:46 Vanessa described the feeling as if the house was not going to make her home, but her prison. Maintaining the same function I had in the past. During the first hour of the move, Vanessa had the net ins n s sensation of seeing through the corner of her eye the figure of a man who followed her every time she turned. There was no one. This experience was repeated during the following days. Vanessa was convinced that it was a man who was chasing her. The nights in the cage brought more strange phenomena. Vanessa had the habit of watching television late, but in her new home, the TV was filled with interference and switched channels on its own, without her being able to control it with the controller. In addition, the bulbs in the house melted or exploded with alarming frequency, and the temperature inside the house was cold at any time of the day. Accompanied by unexplained noises and whispers.

14:46 Both women felt that the house was full of hostile presences. Strange noises and whispers roamed all the rooms, creating the impression that dozens of people were hiding in the dark corners of the house. This atmosphere added to the already heavy history of the old prison, fueling the feeling that they were not alone. Some might attribute these events to suggestion. Given Vanessa and Nicole' s knowledge of the history of the house and the thirteen witches, other factors could also be considered. The remote location of partner in the field could explain the failures in the television signal. Also, the old electrical system of the House could be responsible for defective bulbs. These attempts at rationalization failed to calm the fears of Vaneza and Nicole. One night, Vanessa decided to retire to her room as usual, closed the door with a latch before going to bed and turned off the light. Shortly after he went to bed, he heard a sound and saw the door slowly opening. The latch had opened. Sol Vanessa got up, closed the door again and secured the latch, but as soon as she turned around, the latch opened again and the door opened slowly, allowing an intense cold to enter. The nightmare had begun and seemed unstoppable with

16:18 the passage of time. Neighbors began to ask him about a third woman who supposedly lived with them at first. Vanessa and Nicole thought the neighbors were confused. As more people were asking about the same woman, they began to get restless. Neighbors described a woman of about forty- five who always looked out the windows of Vanessa' s room and the living room. These windows were facing an alley known as coffin Ali. The alley of Vanessa' s coffins had grown in the village. The origin of the street name had never been asked. In investigating, he discovered that the alley had a macabre past.

17:04 Two streets above was the village church and two streets below was the cemetery. In ancient times, when someone died, his body was taken to church to be blessed and then the undertakers transported him by coffinally to the cemetery. The woman the neighbors saw in Vanessa' s house seemed to know this and maybe she could still see those processions through the windows. With this knowledge, Vanessa and Nicole decided to investigate more about the house they lived in. They discovered that the story of the thirteen witches was only the beginning. For centuries, the cage had been used to lock up not only suspected criminals, but also men, women and children during epidemics. During a great plague, the locals afraid to catch it locked the sick in the cellars of the cage. These people received little water and food and their loved ones left them there, leaving them to die in isolation Paranormal experiences did not cease. Vanessa and Nicole heard strange noises, whispers, and footsteps ringing all over the house, especially during the night. The bulbs continued to explode or melt inexplicably and the temperature in the house was always cold. Even the television was acting abnormally, changing channels on its own and filling itself with interference. Vanessa also had recurring visions of

18:41 a man who followed her always seen by the corner of her eye. Every time he turned around, there was no one. The constant presence of this man tormented her by increasing her anxiety and fear. These events, combined with the macabre history of the Cage, contributed to an atmosphere of terror that seemed to intensify day by day. Our research suggests that the paranormal phenomena experienced by Vanessa and Nicole could be a manifestation of the residual energies of those who suffered and died in the cage. This building, which had eventually been forgotten and passed from hand to hand, eventually became what seemed to be a normal house.

19:26 In reviewing the files, Vanessa and Nicole discovered that no one had lived there for more than a year. In addition, the last owner had taken his life by hanging himself on the stairs of the house. This individual' s relatives sold the house to Vanessa, preventing her from seeing it inside before buying it, to prevent her from discovering her dark story. Only Vanessa' s testimony offers a clear vision of what happened. She narrated three specific events that convinced her that the house or obs was hiding more than mere ghosts. The first event took place during a dinner with friends. Stains of a red liquid appeared in the middle of the living room. Two of those present placed their hands on these stains, but minutes later they reappeared as if the house itself was bleeding. The second event happened while Vaneza was watching television in the living room, by the corner of his eye he saw what seemed to be the figure of a man in the kitchen. When he turned, he could clearly see a man floating from one side to the other, pointing his finger at him and then disappearing on the wall The third event was the drop that filled the glass. One morning, while brushing her teeth in the bathroom, an invisible force struck her and threw her to the ground. He felt no presence or cold, only the strong blow that knocked it down. Occurring this

20:56 in broad daylight, it is unclear at what point Exha Vanessa decided to invite paranormal research groups to her home. It seems that this decision was made when she became pregnant. Unfortunately, Vanessa didn' t have the financial resources to move to another house. She remained in the cage while several investigation teams tried to free her from the curse. Despite the efforts, these attempts were unsuccessful and with the arrival of his son, the paranormal events intensified. Dozens of mediums came to the cage to try to help Vanessa. Many of them claimed that the house was infested with ghosts women, men, children and demons.

21:41 Among the women, they identified Ursula Kemp, who had the hobby of looking out the windows. Among the men there were prisoners and among the demons, one called himself the jailer. This demon was the one who kept all the imprisoned souls in the house or O O O O or SNS, bringing them to disturb the peace of Vaneza and her son. The jailer harassed, beat and persecuted Vanessa, and none of the entities could be expelled because of her old and powerful control over the house. The jailer, an entity that had dominated the others for centuries, had become virtually indestructible. Dozens of paranormal research teams have come together in the cage in recent years, gathering a lot of evidence that shows that the activity in this place is completely real. Psychophonies, orbs and multiple wounds have been captured in the bodies of researchers, including bites and scratches. Among all the evidence there is one in particular that stands out for its impact and clarity obtained. In the year two thousand and twelve, during a session, a surveillance camera caught something surprising. The face and the las. The more than one researcher changed dramatically. One of those present lost consciousness, but his companions did not immediately realize it. The man in charge

23:11 of monitoring the cameras was able to see in real time how the investigator' s nose turned pointy. His gaze and smile became diabolical and his fingers became claws. In addition, all those present returned home that night with bite marks, scratches and red areas on their backs. When Vanessa' s son was born, her experience in the house changed dramatically. Vanessa began to limit her life to two bedrooms, the master bedroom and the bathroom. His daily routine was to go straight into the bathroom from the street, bathe his son and then head to the room without separating from him at any time. The entities that lived in the cage made their life unbearable. The rda every time she walked away from her son. One night Vanessa decided she couldn' t live like this anymore. While she was alone with her little one in the room, the door began to open and close violently over and over again, and the lights began to blink, threatening to shut down completely. At that time, Vanessa made the decision to pack and leave the house forever the bell witch This case is considered by the United States of America as the first and only case in which a polter gase phenomenon was directly responsible for the death of a

24:47 person. It should be noted that these phenomena occurred at a time when scientific research did not have the solidity they have today. In the neo- time, it was common to attribute any unexplained event to paranormal causes. Despite the scientific limitations of the time, today we have numerous testimonies from witnesses who witnessed these events. These testimonies allow us to consider this case as a true example of paranormal activity in which a polter gase affected not only a house and a family, but practically an entire village. The events occurred between 1, 817 and 1, 880 twenty- one in River Network, Tennessee. The Bell family, made up of John Bell, his wife, Lucy and their children, was known and appreciated by the entire community. In addition, they were a well- off family with a nice house and extensive land. Their land was so extensive that John Bell and his eldest son, John Jr, used to go out hunting a common practice among the high society families of the time.

26:02 Some of the children, in particular Betsy and Drury, were known for their imagination and their tendency to create imaginary friends with whom they played and spoke. Shortly after moving into the house, Betsy and Drury reported seeing a faceless woman walking among the cornfields, which disappeared as if it were made of fog. When Betsy tried to talk to him, they told their parents, who did not believe them. Later, the children reported seeing strange people and animals in and around the house, but again, their parents ignored them. The situation changed dramatically when John Bell and his eldest son met face to face with a creature they described as half a wolf and half a rabbit, with the body of a wolf and the head of a rabbit. This disturbing encounter confirmed to the family that they were or were facing something beyond the known. From this meeting, disturbing incidents were reported inside the house, scratches on the walls, unexplained blows and noises. During the night they became frequent. Family members also noticed that the beds and furniture moved violently crashing against the walls. Everything seemed in order, as if the sounds and movements had been the product of a hallucination. These phenomena not only disturbed the family, but also escalated in

27:34 intensity and frequency over time. Paranormal events began to directly affect family members. John Bell, in particular, suffered a mysterious illness that puzzled the doctors of the time. He developed an infection in his tongue that immobilized his jaw, preventing him from eating and speaking normally. Despite receiving numerous treatments and medicines, their condition was not improving and doctors could not determine the cause of their illness. In search of relief and answers, john Bell decided to share what was happening in his home with one of his closest friends, Mr Johnston. This man was known in the community for his kind character and deep knowledge of the Bible. John Bell invited Mr Johnston and his wife to spend a night at his house in the hope that their presence and prayers might exorcise the evil that tormented them on a specific night. The marriage Johnston accepted the invitation of the bells After a dinner in the company of the whole family, they gathered around the table to read passages from the Bible and perform prayers. The goal was to purify the house and expel any evil entity that might be present. After these actions they concluded that the house had been exorcised and that the polter gast or any entity that was tormenting them had left to verify the effectiveness of the

29:11 exorcism. The Johnston couple decided to spend the night in a room next to Betsy Belle' s. On the night in question. The situation in the Bell House took a dramatic turn. The Johnston marriage, invited to stay in the residence to help with prayers and exorcisms, faced a terrifying experience. During the night, the sheets covering them were violently torn by an invisible entity. Johnston, in an effort to expel the entity, began to recite prayers and invoke the name of God. This action caused an unexpected reaction. The entity responded with laughter, mockery and laughter that intensified each time Christ or God was mentioned the voice of the entity, described as electric and dark, resonated with a disturbing force. After tonight, the manifestation of the entity became stronger and more persistent it seemed to have absorbed possibly negative energy from the Bell family and the Johnston marriage itself. This accumulated energy allowed the Entity to manifest itself more intensely, using a clear voice. Every night, the entity repeated the words and prayers spoken by Mr Johnston, repeating the Bible passages and prayers with disturbing precision. In addition, attacks on the Bell family, especially John Bell and

30:41 his daughter Betsey, became more aggressive and frequent. The Entity, in its manifestations, made it clear that it would not cease its torments until the death of John Bell and the break of Betsey Belle' s engagement with Joshua Gardner, who seemed to have a specific objective in destroying, despite his hostility towards Johnny, Betsy the entity showed remarkably different behavior towards Lucy Bel, John' s wife. The testimonies suggest that the entity maintained some respect or affection for Lucy, possibly because she never referred to the entity derogatoryly and always treated her kindly. The news of the strange events in the bell house spread quickly through Red River and its surroundings. The story of the bell witch attracted numerous curious eager to spend the night in the house and witness the paranormal phenomena first hand.

31:40 Despite the interest and influx of visitors, the Bell family never received entry or economic benefits from these visits. His only wish was to find someone who could drive the Entity out of their lives. Far from solving the problem, the additional attention seemed to strengthen the Entity. Their attacks became more and more violent. The entity demonstrated a deep knowledge of the secrets and lives of the inhabitants of the community and was able to recite sermons and phrases uttered by the neighbors with precision. The entity, which besieged the Bell family, seemed to have an omniscient knowledge of all the inhabitants of the house and its visitors.

32:22 It was like I was present everywhere and nowhere at once. During the nights when the house was full of curious and expert. In the paranormal, the Bellys tried to communicate with the entity, repeatedly asking about its purpose and reason for being there. The response of the entity, always through a terrifying voice, was constant. His peace had been disturbed and demanded compensation, namely the life of John Bell. The entity tirelessly reiterated that it would not rest until it saw John Bel dead and until Beth Sibel broke her engagement with Joshua Garner. These threats became a constant torture for Betsey. The young woman tried to escape the influence of the entity, moving to the house of some uncles, located several kilometers away. The entity followed her there, continuing its attacks.

33:20 Betsy was beaten with slaps and lost strands of hair torn directly from the scalp. The wounds appeared on her body without anyone touching her, and the witnesses watched marks on her hands, burns and unexplained scratches. Despite attempts by those around her to protect her and remove the entity, the attacks continued. Witnesses describe how Betsy experienced terrible pains and wounds that appeared spontaneously. This phenomenon baffled everyone, as injuries occurred without visible physical contact. A particularly notable event occurred on a Sunday night, when the family and several visitors were present at the house. The entity repeated, word for word, the sermon that Reverend James Gun had given in the local Methodist church. Those present were amazed by the accuracy with which the entity imitated the voice of the Reverend and the accuracy of the sermon. The Reverend Bon himself, who was among those present, insisted that he had not spoken a single word, confirming that the entity had supernaturally replicated his speech. Another similar incident occurred with Reverend Ford, who was scheduled to deliver a sermon. A week later. Surprisingly, the entity already knew the words that Reverend Ford was going to say, demonstrating an anticipated knowledge that

34:52 puzzled everyone present. Numerous researchers and curious people approached the Bell' s house with the intention of discovering the origin of this entity and finding a way to expel it. One of these visitors was an English gentleman mentioned in the memoirs of John Bell Jr. You don' t remember his exact name. His experience with the entity provides a fascinating example of the power and knowledge of the spirit. The entity, identified as the Bell Witch, communicated with the English visitor, providing accurate information about events in their country and about their family.

35:34 The most surprising thing was that the entity spoke to him about future events that had not yet happened, but which were later confirmed by letters from his family. This accuracy in information suggests a supernatural ability to know details that were beyond the reach of anyone else. The English gentleman, intrigued and eager to prove the veracity of the NR, accepted an offer of the spirit. The entity offered to send a message to his family and promised an answer in less than three hours To prove this statement, the visitor gave a message explaining the wonderful and strange things he had witnessed in the bell house Three hours later, the entity returned with an answer, imitating the voice of the gentleman' s wife.

36:27 The message said tell my husband not to stay there another day. You ' ve seen and heard enough and we don' t want any more visitors like this here. Impacted by the accuracy and content of the message, the gentleman decided to return home. The Bell family later received a letter from the English visitor confirming that the message that the entity had delivered was authentic and that his wife had experienced a visit from a bodyless spectrum, but with a voice in the course of research on paranormal events at the Bel Farm One of the most prominent episodes involved Frank Myles, a close friend of John Belle Jr.

37:13 Frank Myles was known throughout the community for his great physical strength. Miles said he would use his physical and intellectual strength to expel the entity from the house. During one night he stayed to face the spirit, he was brutally beaten by an invisible force. This meeting not only showed him the power of the entity. The entity after the beating, constantly mocked thousands. Repeating that he believed himself strong, he was not strong enough to fight a spirit. The Bell family slaves were also victims of attacks by the entity. A notable incident involved Harry, a servant known for his impuntuality. One morning after being late, Harry was attacked by burning coals that rose up and threw themselves at him without human intervention. In addition to the coals, Harry was beaten and kicked by an invisible force that immobilized him in a chair and slapped him repeatedly until he begged for his life. The entity warned him that if he came back late, he would throw him directly into the fire. Harry' s never been late since. Another significant testimony comes from General Andrew Jackson, who later became the seventh President of the United States. Having heard the legends about the bel Jackson farm he decided to visit the property accompanied by a group of soldiers

38:46 and an expert in paranormal phenomena, with the aim of investigating and, if possible, expelling the entity on the way to the Farm, one of the team members mocked the entity, mentioning the witch of the bell Immediately, the horses pulling from the carriage stopped dry and refused to move. The group' s efforts to advance the horses proved useless for almost an hour. Finally, General Jackson began to consider that the arrest could have been caused by the same entity. At that time, a dark voice resounded in the forest, a voice that seemed to come from everywhere and none at once, even though everyone turned trying to locate their origin, there was no one visible the voice declared very well General that the wagon move, but I will see him again tonight.

39:44 Immediately afterwards, the horses began to move again. That night, the group experienced paranormal phenomena inside the bell house confirming that the entity' s promise had been fulfilled. In the evening, General Andrew Jackson and his team of paranormal investigators decided to spend the night at the Bell family house. That night became one of the most terrifying experiences ever experienced. The entity, known as the Bell Witch, manifested itself with unprecedented violence, especially towards Betsey Belle. In the presence of all, Betsy was slapped her torn clothes, her torn hair was dragged by the house pulled from her hair by an invisible force.

40:34 The entity also focused its attention on General Jackson, psychologically harassing him. The exact details of what Jackson experienced that night are unclear. It' s known he couldn' t sleep all night. The next morning, in preparing his departure, the General said he had not seen anything, he had heard enough to convince himself that he preferred to face the English before continuing to endure the torment of the bell witch Betsy Bell' s memoirs document numerous incidents during General Jackson' s stay at his home. One notable incident involved an expert in the paranormal accompanying the General. This man tried to shoot a silver bullet destined to kill the witch, but by pulling the trigger, the bullet didn' t come out. It looked like the gun was a wooden toy. Despite multiple attempts, the gun did not work and the entity mocked the expert questioning his ability to shoot him. When the man finally surrendered and threw the gun, an invisible force grabbed him by the nose and lifted him from the ground.

41:47 Betsy described the scene as surreal. In retrospect, it was a terrifying event. These paranormal events continued to affect the Bell family for many years. The climax of these attacks came on October 20, one thousand and eight hundred and twenty. That morning, John Bell and his son Richard went to the pig pen to feed them. Upon his return, John Bell showed signs of being severely attacked. His shoes were full of cuts and when he removed them, Richard discovered that his father had deep injuries to his feet. In addition, John had bruises all over his body, swollen eyes, and loose jaw.

42:35 He seemed to have received a brutal beating. No one' s touched it. John Bell was in a state of shock and could not recover from this latest attack. From that day on, he was prostrated in bed, unable to move or speak properly. The family quickly called the doctor, who prescribed a series of medications in an effort to save him. As the doctor administered these treatments, the entity kept repeating that it was useless, that John Bell would not recover and that he would never get out of bed again. On the morning of December 20, one thousand and eight hundred and twenty, John Bell had lost consciousness. He was still alive, he wasn' t aware of his surroundings. His eyes remained open, but he could not speak or move as if he were trapped inside his own body. Dr Josh Hartz, who had been taking care of John Bell, was called urgently. When the family arrived, he asked her to give more medicines, since the previous treatments seemed to have no effect. Dr Hartz, having already prescribed everything in his power, decided to increase the doses of existing medicines. Looking for the jars in John Bell' s room, they discovered that they had disappeared instead.

43:58 They found a bottle containing an or, the unknown black liquid. The doctor bewildered by this substance, decided not to examine or smell it, considering that it had no place in the treatment of John Bell. After Dr. Hearts, Frank Myles, John Johnston and Reverend James Gun arrived. The three were carefully examined and courageously enough, decided to test the substance in a stray cat. They administered a small amount to the animal and almost immediately, the cat began to convulse, twisting in pain and mauling desperately. It was then that Reverend Boon said that the witch had been the voice of the entity, which had not spoken all day long, he confirmed coldly. The voice added that he had given John Bell a dose strong enough to kill an entire regiment.

44:55 Indeed, John Bell died a few weeks after that this incident, on the day of John Bell' s death, the Entity was not violent, but celebrated with joy, proclaiming that it would attend the funeral to make sure that John Bell was really dead and buried. In addition, the Entity promised to return years later to verify that everything remained as she had left it, that Betsy Bell had cancelled her engagement to Joshua Gardner and that Lucy Bell had not remarried. A thousand eight hundred and twenty- eight. The Entity kept its promise. He attended a family dinner at the bell house During that meeting, the Entity did not demonstrate violently. Instead, he gave long speeches on various topics, including philosophy politics and the future of the United States. There are not many testimonies of this event, apart from those of the bel family The experience was deeply to go unsettling. The case of the Bel Witch is one of the most documented and analyzed in the history of the paranormal. The consistency of the accounts supported by testimonies from historical figures and respected members of the Community provides a solid basis for the study of these phenomena. Through a meticulous and professional approach. Researchers continue to explore the mysteries surrounding this case, seeking

46:27 to understand the unexplained forces that affected the Abel family and its surroundings. This case remains an essential reference in the field of paranormal, highlighting the complex interaction between supernatural entities and the daily reality of those who experience unexplained fires. In a farm in the county of Antagonis, northeastern Canada, there was a place inhabited by simple people. The inhabitants were engaged in agriculture, hunting and fishing.

47:08 Everyone knew each other and there was no conflict in that county. The population was separated in some large farmhouses and whenever it snowed, they were all isolated. One of the most remote areas was Caledonian Mills. This complex consisted of several mill cottages, a post office and a small school. They were all farmers and ranchers and were so isolated that they had their own world. This small area was founded at the end of the 19th century and the first family to arrive there were loggers, built their house and then arrived another family, specifically the McDonalds. This family was made up of John, Margaret and their children. For years there was no problem. They managed the cattle, kept their accounts well and had several employees. When John died, his eldest son, Alexander, inherited the whole situation remained good. Alexander was in charge of cattle management and was doing very well. At one point she married a woman named Janet. The tradition was that the woman moved to the husband' s house, to the in- laws' house. On this occasion they made a small change and decided to take a piece of land and build a modest house. The residence was simple, built entirely of wood. It had two floors, a couple of rooms and a stove. In those days there

48:42 was electricity, they didn' t have it. Over the years. The marriage had a daughter Mary. In a thousand eight hundred and ninety- nine they welcomed Janet' s mother, who had dementia. There was a family problem. The children wanted to take her to the asylum, as no one wanted to take care of her or put up with her. Janet decided to take care of her. The situation became unsustainable. Janet' s mother was very bad. They couldn' t control her and they didn' t know what to do with her. At one point, Janet is said to have tied her to a bed and locked her up. From this fact rumors began to emerge. The old woman died on April 28th of a thousand eight hundred and ninety- nine and, according to the people, she did so strangely.

49:31 The autopsy indicated that it was due to natural causes, but in those times rumors were heavier. One neighbor commented that the night before he had heard Janet curse her mother. He said he heard her scream disrespectful and tell him he wanted the devil to take her. This neighbor not only heard these words, but also claimed to have seen how much n n. When Janet p n n n n n la those words, appeared a black dog in the kitchen of the house claimed that it was the devil that had been summoned by Janet and that that being was evil. As a result of these events, more stories emerged pointing to Janet as a witch with dark powers, evil to the point of drowning her mother with a bucket. However, these were only rumours without proof. Nothing strange happened after the old lady' s death.

50:31 Years passed. Mary grew up and the mcdonaldl decided they couldn' t let Mary go, as she would soon get engaged and get married. In nineteen hundred and ten, when Mary was twenty- three, they adopted the daughter of relatives, a little girl named Mary Hellen. The life of the family continued to be normal until in a thousand nine hundred and twelve something very strange began to happen. Inside the house. Noises, blows, scratches, howls and what seemed to be the drag of chains began to be heard. Alexander rested on it, considering that a wooden house could have carcoma rats or other bugs. Alexander' s daughters were afraid. They talked about goblin ghosts and bad feelings, but he reassured them with various rational explanations and the family left the subject aside. However, some things began to disappear overnight. First they were small objects like a necklace, a key and a handkerchief, then clothes and saddles. The McDonalds thought it might be a joke maybe from Mary Ellen or even older daughter Mary. One day looking all over the farm, they found a saddle buried behind a tree. The possible applications were many. Someone

52:01 might be sleepwalking, a farm worker might be playing with them or even Mary Helen might have done it with this the case seemed closed, or at least they thought so. A very early morning. Alexander got up to release the cattle, as he always did. He would get up, get dressed quickly, go to the stables, drop the cattle, prepare everything and then go back to breakfast. But that day was different. As he got out of bed and headed for the stable, he noticed the fog and the cold. As he approached, he saw a strange figure at the door of the stable.

52:44 Being practically on top of it, he realized it was a slaughtered lamb. Alexander had no enemies or problems with anyone and he didn' t understand who could have done this. Until March of one thousand nine hundred and twenty - one, the noises in the house, the murmurs and the howlings continued, but they were not given importance. From then on, everything got complicated again. One morning, Alexander got up early, got dressed and went to the stables. Upon arrival he found the doors open. He spent hours gathering the animals, looking for them in the countryside, the land and the neighboring houses. That night he locked up, making sure to do it properly.

53:31 The next morning the exact same thing happened. Open doors, empty stables and dead animals. This continued to happen periodically. Alexander tried everything put in more padlocks and constantly checked the fence and the door. Despite their efforts, the events remained unexplained. He could no longer deal with the situation and every new day his despair increased. Lamenta are Lamente, a neighbor heard Alexander' s account of the slaughtered lamb, which caused rumors to begin to emerge. One of the stories people were telling was that near the Farm there was a ghost horse that was seen at night and early in the morning, but when someone approached him, he became a human being. Hearing this, people began to investigate. They went to the Farm looking for footprints, horses, people or any hint of something strange, but even though they searched, they found nothing.

54:34 Then another rumor came up. Some people claimed to have seen the McDonalds house burning up on several occasions. They said that, in broad daylight, the house was starting to burn, but as you approached the fire went out. Fortunately, for McDonalds these stories did not affect them in the slightest. They thought that people were making it up, that they were in vindis and liars in a thousand nine hundred and twenty- two. Everything changed. On the morning of January 7, one thousand nine hundred and twenty- two. Alexander got up before anyone got out of bed, went to the stables, opened the door and released the animals. He returned home and found his wife preparing breakfast with her two daughters. Everything was calm and perfectly normal. Alexander went to the room to change his shoes and that' s when he noticed something very strange. On the wall where the stove was. There was a very ugly crack I' d never seen before. Just in case he spent the day fixing it. When night fell, the crack was already repaired.

55:45 She kept the animals, came home. They all had dinner together, turned off all the lights and the stove and went to bed. An hour later, Janet woke everyone up saying she smelled a lot of smoke, like something was burning commando. Alexander got up and checked everything, but he didn' t find anything burning. They went back to bed and relaxed, but again Janet got up saying that she smelled smoke Something had to be burning because that smell was unbearable. At that time, Alexander left the room and discovered that the living room was on fire. A moment ago everything was fine and now the house was burning. One of the walls was full of fire and the flames reached the ceiling. Alexander grabbed a bucket, went out into the street, took snow, threw it into the fire and with great effort managed to put it out. Before they fell asleep, they made sure to turn off everything, every candle, every lamp and the stove. Alexander thought something had not gone off well and reviewed everything again. Everything seemed to be in order and after the chaos they returned to their beds. Minutes later, Janet got up again saying she smelled of smoke. Once again as they rose they saw that there was fire in total. That night they got up four times from the bed and four times something was burning, a chair, a rag, a piece of wall They couldn' t believe what was happening and Alexander didn

57:21 ' t keep an eye on all night The next morning, the MacDonald family didn' t know what to do and Alexander was desperate. He checked every corner, every piece of furniture and every rag in the house throughout the day. Nothing strange happened, but only as a precaution. Before going to bed, Alexander went up to the roof and threw a bucket of snow down the chimney. He came down from the roof, entered the house and got into bed. Twenty minutes later, his wife woke him up saying he smelled of smoke. Alexander got up, checked everything and seeing that the house was intact, thought it was his management and went back to bed, but Janet repeated the same thing and this time, when Alexander got up, he found a burning balancin in the kitchen, grabbed the furniture, pulled it out of the house and threw it over the snow. Just when he did this, a couch also started on Arder. He came back inside the house, grabbed the couch and threw it into the snow. Throughout the night, the situation was repeated. He took out one burning object, and five minutes later another was also starting Arder. They didn' t understand what was going on and they were so terrified they couldn' t sleep. The next two nights were quiet, but still. The family didn' t sleep the first night. Alexander passed it with his eyes open and already in the second he slept enough to

58:53 get up the next day with energy he rose, went to the stable, released the animals and returned home to have breakfast with his family. As soon as night fell, chaos returned to their lives. Alexander was in the stables collecting the cattle. Everything was very quiet and under control. When his wife started screaming out of nowhere, Alexander didn' t understand what was going on and immediately left the stable and ran to the house. At that time he saw the roof of the kitchen burning. It was snow buckets. He threw them over the fire and turned it off. Five minutes later, a piece of furniture started burning again They couldn' t take the same thing again.

59:38 They asked their youngest daughter Mary Helen to go immediately to the neighbors' house. They needed more people to come and see what was going on and help pay for the fire, as they no longer had the strength. The girl ran and in a few minutes they arrived at the house. Three men l N Magill, Brey and Dung MacDonald walked alongside little Mary Hellen, while Daniel Macgill came behind them in a horse- drawn car. When the three men arrived at the house, the fire was already out and Alexander told them everything. He talked about the fires, that they had no explanation and that they didn' t know what was going on. He was frankly upset to try to calm down He lit the stove to heat water and make you. At that time, a white light lit everything up and blue sparks jumped out of the stove lighting the curtains. Leo Magill acted immediately, stood up, ripped out the curtains, trampled them down and put out the fire. He described the moment in a very peculiar way, saying that that fire burned, but not so much that it was a strange fire, something he had never seen before. The three neighbors were in shock and didn' t understand anything that was happening that night. Several more fires originated in front of them. The first affected the wall paper and the second a calendar that was hanging in a

1:01:12 corner of the dining room. They would turn off one fire and turn on another. Alexander was very nervous. Throughout the night, several people gathered in the McDonald' s house Evidently, there were so many witnesses that the rumor spread quickly everywhere. Everyone knew and commented on it. The MacDonald family was desperate. They felt judged and humiliated without knowing what to do. They decided it would be best to leave, pack and leave everything behind. Leo stopped them his whole life. I was on that farm, in that little little house, and they couldn' t just leave without fighting first. Temporarily, while investigating everything, Leon offered to stay in their home, to which they agreed. Rumors of what had happened continued to spread throughout Caledonia Mills and soon the people of Antigonish County knew what had happened and the story came to the ears of Arnold beaw Wood, a war veteran who worked as a journalist for Gerald and new Smail in Halifax. Obviously, Arnold couldn' t let a story like that go. He tried to contact all the people who helped pay for the fires and among them was a guy named Alex Mack. Arnold spoke to him and then published the first article about the events. The text was

1:02:45 a complete success. They all read it, they all gave their opinion, and they went crazy about it. Arnold traveled to Caledonia, Mills interviewed more people, saw the house, checked it and five days after his sketched a second article, which was once again a success. People wanted more information on the case, more data, more witnesses, more interviews, more evidence than paranormal. Of course, Arnold gave them what they asked for. The newspaper even held a contest for people to propose explanations for the fires, offering prizes of fifteen ten and five dollars in exchange for detailed explanations. It wasn' t worth just saying a ghost or a goblin. The paper wanted full articles, which made people crazy. The newspaper owner contacted Sir Arthur, Conan Doyle to see if he wanted to investigate the case, but he rejected it.

1:03:45 Then, the paper contacted a reputable private investigator, a man named Peter Owen Carroll. Peter was said to have had unorthodox methods, but with them he had caught smugglers, murderers and all kinds of criminals. Such a case could not let him escape and Peter gladly accepted. Peter arrived in Antigonish on February 2, 2000, and for several days, together with Harold, investigated the theoretical part of the case, witnesses, rumors, people' s opinions and hypotheses. February 6th. They both packed their bags and traveled to the McDonald ' s house. The road was complicated due to the recent snowfalls that had left the roads impassable and forced frequent stops. The first night they didn' t spend it in the house. They arrived at their destination in the afternoon.

1:04:42 Upon arrival, the first thing they did was interview the MacDonald family, Daniel Macgeber and Dunk McDonald, getting as much information as possible. That first night was not spent inside the house, but the investigation began the next day. They had no provisions and the sky was cloudy, with signs of a snowstorm. Several neighbors, accompanied by Alexander, brought firewood to the house. The atmosphere seemed peaceful, but people didn' t trust themselves at all as they darkened, leaving Alexander, Peter and Harold alone. The hours passed and the three men were completely alone. Everything was calm, no noises, no presences and no fires. They decided to go to sleep by placing the beds on the lower floor. After midnight, Peter woke up after hearing a noise, woke up Harold quickly and both remained silent. The sound came from the second floor and seemed to be in step. Someone walked down the stairs and once in the dining room stopped. They ran to investigate, but they didn ' t find anyone. They checked every corner and piece of furniture in the house, but when they found nothing, they went back to bed. Later, Peter felt someone hit his shoulder and rose from a jump finding him.

1:06:08 Harold' s awake too. He told her what he felt and Harold said he felt the same way. For twenty minutes they stayed awake feeling that there was someone else with them. They looked for an explanation, someone hidden, but they found nothing. A new article on the case was published on 14 February. In it, both Harold and Peter reported that they were convinced that the house was haunted. They offered a$ 200 reward to anyone who gave rational explanations about what was going on there. The case was again a matter of madness and people began to send letters, give opinions and drop hypotheses.

1:06:53 The case reached Dr Walter Franklin Price, a member of the American society of psychic research. This guy was not a simple amateur, but for several years he had unmasked false mediums by exposing his tricks and farce. Walter proposed joining the research as a psychic and the newspaper immediately accepted. From then on Walter, Harold Peter, the newspaper photographer, and the graphic artist would work together. The journey began on March 4 and was again bumped due to the large amount of snow that made it difficult to advance and forced to bring additional supplies.

1:07:36 After getting there, Walter Franklin Price aimed to have the McDonald family sleep several nights in the house, but they flatly refused. They were fed up with the situation of being constantly interviewed and both Janett and her daughters had a deep fear of the house. For this reason, the investigators took two acts, interviewed the family again and recovered some of the furniture that had been thrown into the street. Those same ones who had burned themselves. When the family left, the researchers were left alone in the house. They lit candles, lamps and stoves. Walter prepared the house by placing wires with bells and gauges.

1:08:23 The hours went by without them catching anything. The photographer took some pictures and participated in the investigation, but after two days without incident, he decided to return home. Walter and the others didn' t understand what was going on. Walter thought he' d try the automatic handwriting. All those present agreed and the first to try was the graphic artist. He sat down, relaxed, closed his eyes and grabbed paper and pencil, but nothing happened. The next one to try was Harold and this time something happened. He noticed his arm falling asleep and suddenly his hand began to move alone. He drew stitches, lines, circles and scribbles. Walter, seeing that, started asking questions. The first one was something like, you know, who set the fires, which the hand wrote yes to. Then he asked who was responsible and the hand wrote the word Spirits. Walter wanted to know more why they did it, who they were and how much he knew, but the following questions only got an answer. The word to God. The conclusions of this research were published on 16 March of a thousand nine hundred and twenty- two and left the public with a bad taste of mouth. According to Walter, the fire always originated from a fairly low height, the base of the curtains,

1:09:54 the base of a furniture, the base of a wall This was the perfect height for Mary Ellen, the youngest daughter, to light the fires. According to him, the girl had something to do with the kitchen. There were bottles with flammable liquid, so the girl could have used them to set everything on fire. According to Walter, the child could not remember, since at that time she would be possessed by spirits. The explanation of the fire was logical, but the steps that Harold and Peter heard were not attributable to possession, but rather to the presence of a true ghost. These conclusions appeared in the newspaper, but very few people believed it. When the house burned down, there were many witnesses, dozens of people there and if Mary Ellen provoked the fires, someone should have seen it. Damned property. The history of the property, known as the Willington Mill, dates back to one thousand six hundred and sixty, when there was a small wooden house on the ground.

1:11:10 Inside her lived a single woman named Mrs Pepper, who was seen by many as a witch. Descriptions of their appearance vary. Some sources portray her as a young woman, while others describe her as an older woman, regardless of her age. The general perception was of a feared and respected person. Mrs Pepper was a solitary figure with a strong character and avoided contact with others, which contributed to her image. In addition to her imprisonment, Mrs Pepper is said to have served as a midwife. She was respected for bringing new lives to the world, but also feared, as any disrespect for her could bring despicable consequences, such as the loss of a child. His religious life was also subject to speculation, as it was claimed that he practiced both Catholicism and paganism and performed strange rituals. The society of the time had never been formally judged. Over the years, Mrs Pepper became seriously ill and as she was about to die, she was denied the confession of a priest, an act that at that time was of the utmost importance. His unconfessed death led to the belief that his soul had cursed the lands where he lived. This fear caused people to avoid the place and finally tore down their little house.

1:12:42 In a thousand seven hundred and eighty, the property was acquired by William Brown, who built a large mill in the same place where the house was located. During the twenty years that the mill was standing, the Brown family prospered enormously, hiring many workers and accumulating great wealth at the most prosperous moment the family suddenly disappeared leaving everything as it was. This mystery. It gave rise to numerous rumors. William Brown was said to be in love with a maid who did not correspond to his feelings. Frustrated, William would have abused her and killed her by hiding her body on a wall of the mill. Faced with the possibility of facing justice, the family would have fled, leaving behind prosperity and the mill. Time passed and the mill was bought by cousins George Tontang and Joseph Proter, who modernized the facility and turned it into a steam mill known as Wellington Mill. The upgrading and expansion of the mill attracted more workers, but construction stopped unexpectedly for two years. Rumors were again raised that there were many crimes committed by the workers and corpses hidden on the property.

1:14:04 They mentioned fights that resulted in dead men and the tragic story of a woman crushed by the mill wheel. Despite these stories, no concrete evidence was found to confirm these events. Neither Joseph Brotter nor George Tontang gave importance to the rumors. Continuing his work at the mill. After the disappearance of the Browns, cousins George Tonton and Joseph Brotter took possession of the mill, carrying out major improvements and extensions. Both noticed that the quietness of the place was constantly disturbed by strange noises. The walls and floors creaked. Blows were heard and cold air currents often felt creating an unbearable atmosphere. Suspecting that these problems had a structural origin, they decided to seal a room on the third floor by blocking the window, fireplace and door. From that moment on, the situation seemed to improve and life on the property went on more normally. Over time.

1:15:13 The Sanks left the place and George ton Ting died years later by his cousin, Joseph Brotter. The inheritance of the business passed to the older sons, Charles by the Suntang and Joseph JR, by the proter. While Charles showed no interest in moving to the property, Joseph Jr was delighted to return to his childhood home. He agreed with his wife, Elizabeth, and moved immediately, accompanied by his four children, Joseph JR, Henry, Edmund and Jane, as well as a large number of service staff, including the housekeeper, the cook, the mill foreman and his wife. The mill was not just a simple construction, but a vast complex that included a barn for workers and an extensive area for owners. Given the size of the place and the need to take proper care of the children, they hired a nanny whose main task was to take care of the baby Edmund every night. The nanny followed a strict routine, changed the baby, put on his pajamas, prepared the vibron and took him to the second floor to put him to bed. Every night at the same time I heard noises coming from the room sealed on the third floor. The sounds consisted of steps that went from the door to the window, repeating over and over again. Initially, the steps were light,

1:16:46 but then they became stronger footprints. As if someone wanted to draw desperate attention to the constant disturbance. The nanny talked to her boss, Joseph Brotter n r n n n o n n n ns ns ns ns ns ns ns ns the person in the upstairs room stopped making noise. Joseph assured him that there was no one in that room, as it had been sealed for many years. Despite this, the nanny insisted that she was sure she had heard the noises. Intrigued by his claims, Joseph decided to open the third floor room to this event. Many people attended, mainly employees of the mill, who watched the nails pulled out of the door and opened it tightly. Upon opening the door, they found that the room was completely empty, with no furniture or objects that could cause the noises. There were no hidden corners or spaces where someone could hide. The nanny, seeing that the room was empty, interpreted the noises as a sign of paranormal activity and decided to leave immediately.

1:17:57 Convinced that there were ghosts on the property, he packed his bags and left the mill, leaving the Potter family with the enigma of mysterious noises and the possibility of a supernatural presence on the site. His resignation triggered a series of revelations by the staff, who confessed to Joseph Brouter that the room on the third floor was cursed. According to them, his father had closed the room because of strange noises and events, a fact that Joseph was completely unaware of. This room was known to all as the disturbed room. A man Joseph was listening to for the first time. Astonished by this information, Joseph ordered his staff not to mention anything about the noises, the supposed ghost, or the events happening to the new nanny they would hire. Soon after, the new nanny began to experience the same. I heard tramples coming from the third floor so loud that the walls vibrated. In the face of this situation, the protters took more serious steps. Some sources indicate that the nanny was given vacations, while others suggest that she was fired. Regardless of the nanny ' s fate, Joseph and Elizabeth temporarily took care of the baby Edmund.

1:19:19 That' s when Elizabeth started listening to the same steps. Every night at the same time. The sounds of someone walking from the door to the window were repeated increasing in intensity with the passage of minutes. It was real and tangible, but Joseph insisted that he had a logical explanation. The age of the house, the rats, the wind, the wood. Eventually, these noises spread all over the house. One night, while Joseph and Elizabeth were in bed, they heard blows on the walls of their room. They weren ' t just creaking from the wood, but strong blows with mo as if someone were using a mallet. They counted thirteen blows in total, each of them vibrating the walls. Elizabeth began to be frightened, but Joseph continued to seek rational explanations. The rats, the wood, the wind, the nights followed their course and Joseph, taking care of the baby, noticed something even more disturbing. As he put the child in the crib and laid his hands on the railing. He felt that something metallic was hitting from below, he heard the blows, he felt it and he saw the cradle moving, but as much as he looked for he found nothing that could cause those movements.

1:20:42 These experiences quickly spread among mill workers who began to walk cautiously for property. There was talk of a ghost who had escaped from the disturbed room, witches, murders and demons. Every night someone reported strange events. Several workers claimed that the mill machines were turned on and off by themselves. These machines, completely new and advanced, were activated for no apparent reason in the middle of the night. When the workers came and opened the wing doors, the machines went out immediately. Paranormal phenomena on the Wellington mill property intensified with the experience of a neighbor who claimed to have seen a woman dressed in almost transparent white walking through the plants. At dusk this clearly visible spectrum did not go unnoticed by the neighbor who tried to warn Joseph Brotter. Joseph dismissed the concern by attributing the vision to the imagination or his management of the neighbor, refusing to hear more about it. However, the situation took a turn when the mill foreman, Thomas Mann and his wife shared their disturbing experiences. Thomas and his wife lived in a small house inside the mill property and at first they had no problems. Eventually, they began to hear footsteps around their house. At

1:22:17 nightfall, steps resounding strongly on gravel. Thomas often went out to check the source of the noises, but he never found anyone. Initially he thought they might be wild animals During the winter, the experiences became even more disturbing. The Proter family shared their coal with the employees and one winter night Thomas' wife went to the barn to collect coal. As she passed the house of the Protters, a strange sensation made her look towards the windows on the second floor, where she saw the figure of a priest illuminated by the moonlight, almost fluorescent, moving from side to side, gesticulating and walking in frightened circles.

1:23:10 She called her husband and both watched the apparition for ten minutes before it faded. Thomas informed Joseph Brotter of what had happened, and this time Joseph decided to act seriously. He began to keep a detailed diary of all the strange phenomena, steps, whispering voices, incorporeal, blows and even the sound of hands of a nonexistent clock. He documented every disturbing event in an attempt to understand what was happening. One night, Elizabeth, Joseph' s wife, decided to sleep next to the babysitter in the children' s room, each in a bed with a child. At first they heard the usual noises, footsteps and the rustling of the wood, but nothing more. In the middle of the morning, Elizabeth woke up abruptly with the feeling that someone was watching her. When he opened his eyes, he realized that the mattress was not in its usual position, but higher than normal. Slowly he joined up and noticed that the mattress was gradually falling down as if he had been levitating.

1:24:21 Believing it had been a dream or a hallucination. Elizabeth sat on the bed placing her feet on the floor, just to feel something under the mattress pushing him up. Lifting his feet off the ground. The shock paralyzed her and she spent the rest of the night with her eyes open without being able to say anything. The next morning she decided not to tell the nanny not to look crazy, but it was the nanny who approached her describing a strange dream in which she had also felt she was floating. Some time later, Anne, Joseph Proctor' s sister, decided to stay on the estate.

1:25:03 Jane, aware of the rumors circulating about the house, asked someone to accompany her. During your stay. Cook Mary Young volunteered. The assigned room was beautiful, spacious, well furnished, with a dressing room, a large window and a four- poster bed Jane slept by the door and Mary by the window. The first night, Jane, nervous about the rumors, locked the door and left a light on in the dressing room. Both women prepared to sleep, ran the curtains from the bed and closed their eyes. It was then that strange events began to occur. Both reported that something or someone opened the locked door, heard steps and saw the light slowly starting to go out.

1:25:53 Then they began to hear blows and feel tremors on the head and legs of the bed. Marias. I' m sure I' ve seen a strange shadow behind the curtain. The next morning they searched the room and found the door locked. From the inside. No one else had entered the room, but they were both convinced that a ghost had visited them that night. During the eleven years that the Proctor family resided on the property they experienced a wide variety of paranormal events. At first, Joseph Proctor tried to downplay events by seeking logical explanations. Soon the children began to relate their own experiences.

1:26:38 Little Jane, four and a half years old, said that an old woman stared at her from the foot of the bed, laying her hands on the sheets without talking or moving. This vision caused him recurring nightmares. All children reported similar experiences, listening to voices and whispers, feeling cold, strange and chilly and being called by their names with their own voices. The ten- year- old Edmund recounted seeing a version of himself in the dark, while Joseph Jr, the eldest of the children, saw a woman sitting in his bed with two black holes instead of eyes. The phenomena were not limited to the night. During the day, inexplicable things also occurred. One afternoon, while playing, the children saw a strange cat appear out of nowhere. This being pulled the shoelaces of one of the children and ran to hide under a bed. The children followed him, but found no trace of being under the bed or anywhere else. They were convinced it was real. They couldn' t find him. The most striking of these observations was that they claimed that the animal was passing through walls. Mary Joung' s fiancé, intrigued by these accounts, decided to investigate on one occasion, claimed to have found the supposed cat and in trying to catch him, his foot crossed the animal,

1:28:13 which challenged all logic. Joseph Brotter, tired of these inexplicable events, organized a vigil, asked the staff to take a day off and sent his family to relatives. He then contacted two men of science, Dr Edward Drury and chemist Thomas Hudson, and invited them to spend the night of July 3, 1980, at their home to investigate the events. That night. After a dinner at which Joseph recounted all the noise appearances and experiences of the children and staff, the two men of science sceptical about ghosts committed themselves to investigate.

1:28:54 Several hours passed without anything happening, but around 11 p m they decided to enter the disturbed room. At first everything seemed normal and Thomas Hudson fell asleep. Suddenly, Edward Drury started screaming. No one knows for sure what he saw. Some sources say she was an old woman and others said she was an eyeless woman. The impact was such that Drury completely forgot the previous three hours, not remembering what they did or what they talked about. The next day, terrified vowed never to return to that house In a thousand eight hundred and forty- seven, the Protter family abandoned the property. The parents tried to convince the children that everything they had lived was nothing but the fruit of their imagination, explaining to them that old houses crackle if they create normal shadows.

1:29:50 After Joseph Brutter' s death, his son Edmund found his father' s diary and was amazed to read it. Up to one thousand eight hundred forty- two, Joseph had kept a detailed record of all the events that occurred, documenting every phenomenon, every vision, every sound that children and staff experienced. This case became widely known in England and in one thousand eight hundred and ninety the mill closed forever, becoming apartments stories written and adapted by Ramiro contreras
