- Synopsis
- "For young Betsy Bell, a girl coming of age in the early 1800s, life is a time of unquestioning innocence. Headed by her stern, hardworking father John Bell, the family is, to many, the very model of Southern respectability. With their prosperous tobacco plantation and uncompromising dedication to their religious beliefs, the Bells seem a bulwark of society that nothing can destroy." "Until the night Betsy Bell hears something tapping at her window. Before long disembodied voices begin whispering in the darkness, terrifying lights are seen floating over the fields, and it becomes clear - even to the men of religion and science who try to intervene - that an unearthly force is haunting the Bells. It grows stronger, taunting and mocking them, most of all Betsy and her father, calling them by name, pulling Betsy's hair, flinging rocks, and slapping their faces. As the spirit's assaults begin to escalate into an all-encompassing nightmare, innocent neighbors of the Bells find their most private thoughts heard by family and friends, ghastly creatures appear on the village road, and people begin to die. At the center of the attacks, the Bells struggle to save themselves. But it will be young Betsy who must confront the Bell Witch and uncover the deep, terrifying truths her family members dare not face."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
