The Witch and the Bell Family Slaves
The Witch had a dislike for the family’s slaves, tormenting them relentlessly, beating them, and refusing to allow them into the house. A Bell slave named Dean stated he encountered the Witch several times and that it appeared frequently in the form of a large black dog or wolf, sometimes with two heads, sometimes with no head. Dean also claimed to be turned into a mule and attacked several times by the witch. He carried with him at all times his axe and a “witch ball,” made by his wife, as protection from the witch’s influence.
Betsy, Drewry and John begin to hear unaccounted for knocking on the door and windows, the sound of wings flapping against the ceilings, and the sound of rats gnawing on bedposts. By the fall of 1820, his declining health had confined him to the house, where the malicious entity continuously removed his shoes when he tried to walk , and slap ped his face when he recovered from his numerous seizures.
Additionally, you will need green food coloring and sliced almonds to give the cookies their distinct witch finger appearance. Start by creaming together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then, beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and green food coloring.
The Bell Witch: An American Haunting
Demonstrating an exceptional aptitude for literary pastiche, Monahan (Blood of the Covenant) invites a willing suspension of disbelief by presenting this tale of supernatural horror as an unpublished manuscript written during the early years of the American republic. The putative author, schoolteacher Richard Powell, recounts how, between 1819 and 1822, he witnessed the torments inflicted upon John Bell, his wife and their four children by a mischievous poltergeist dubbed ""the Bell witch"" by the citizens of Adams, Tenn. In the carefully measured words of someone who knows he is describing the unbelievable, Powell recalls a succession of phenomena that evolve from annoying nocturnal disturbances to injurious pranks played on the family by an incorporeal being who eventually develops a voice and a full personality. So notorious do this creature's antics become that they attract the attention of a cross-section of frontier types who help give the story the weight of historical credibility, among them quack exorcists, amateur psychic detectives and even a pre-presidential Andrew Jackson. Monahan excels in his sympathetic depictions of these homely rustics, whose ignorance and superstition show ""how little we had advanced since the days of Cotton Mather and the Salem witch trials."" Only in the closing pages, when he indulges in pop psychology to explain why the witch reserved its cruelest jests for 13-year-old Betsy Bell, does a contemporary mindset break the novel's carefully wrought spell of historical romance. (Mar.) FYI: Contemporary line drawings in this volume are taken from An Authenticated History of the Famous Bell Witch, published in 1894 by M.V. Ingram.

A s time went on, the Bells began hearing faint, whispering voices, which too weak to understand but sounded like a feeble old woman singing hymns. The encounters escalated, and the Bells� youngest daughter, Betsy Bell, began experiencing brutal encounters with the invisible entity. It would pull her hair and slap her relentlessly, often leaving welts and hand prints on her face and body. The disturbances, about which John Bell had vowed his family to secret, finally escalated to the point that he share d his "family trouble" with his closest friend and neighbor, James Johnston. S keptical at first, J ohnston and his wife spent the night at the Bell home . Things began peacefully, but once they retired for the evening, they were subjected to the same terrifying disturbances that the Bells had been experienc ing . After their bedcovers were yanked off and James was slapped, he sprang out of bed, exclaiming, "In the name of the Lord, who are you and what do you want!" The entity did not respond ; the rest of the night was peaceful. The next morning, Mr. Johnston explained to the Bells that the culprit was likely an "evil spirit, the kind that the Bible talks about." T he entity's voice strengthened over time and became loud and unmistakable. It sang hymns, quoted scripture, carried on intelligent conversation, and once even quoted, word-for-word, two sermons that were preached at the same time on the same day, thirteen miles apart. Word of th e supernatural phenomena soon spread outside the settlement, even to Nashville, where then-Major General Andrew Jackson became interested in the so-called Bell Witch .
Slowly add the flour and mix until the dough comes together. Once the dough is formed, refrigerate it for at least an hour to make it easier to handle. When the dough is chilled, take small portions and shape them into finger-like shapes. You can roll them into an elongated cylinder and then shape one end to make it tapered. Use your finger or a knife to make small indents for the knuckles. Lastly, gently press a sliced almond at the top to resemble a fingernail. Place the shaped cookies on a baking sheet and bake them in a preheated oven until they are lightly golden around the edges. Once baked, let them cool completely before serving. The Wilton Witch Finger PZN not only looks spooky but also tastes delicious. The buttery and sweet cookie base pairs well with the slight crunch of the almond fingernails.

Save your money and look for another Halloween treat option.

Definitely not worth the money or the calories.
