Legendary cave in Tenn. now national historic site
Mon May 12, 2:19 PM ET
The Robertson County cave is tied to the legend of John Bell, a farmer in the Adams community, who died in 1820 — three years after the family reported they were being terrorized by a spirit they called Kate.
The legend has been the subject of numerous books and at least two movies — the most recent, in 2005, entitled "Bell Witch: The Movie."
The cave can be toured by appointment; details at http://www.bellwitchcave.com.
The other sites added to the register were the Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio Railroad Station and Depot in Johnson City; a one-mile section of the Cleveland to Charleston Concrete Highway in Charleston; the Cleveland Southern Railway Depot in Cleveland; McNabb Mines, formerly known as Shake Rag, in the Prentice Cooper State Forest in Marion County; the Thomas Woodard Jr. Farm near Cedar Hill in Robertson County; and the West End Church of Christ Silver Point in Putnam County.
