DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the first decade of the 1800s, John Bell moved his growing family from North Carolina to the Red River community in Robertson County, Tennessee. Bell, who became an elder in the Red River Baptist Church, was well-liked and respected by his neighbors and prospered as a farmer. As Bell worked his farm, a unique phenomenon occurred. Beginning in 1817 and continuing until 1821, John Bell and his family were allegedly “haunted” by a devilish spirit called a “witch” known as “Kate.” The witch's actions were observed by many in the community, including the clergy. The events subsided only after Bell's death. Known as the “Red Book,” and including the eyewitness account of Richard Williams Bell, son of John Bell, Ingram's account is the story of the Bell Witch.

When they returned to Baddeck a year later, they found a perfect spot for their summer home, Beinn Bhreagh, on a headland that offered a panoramic view of lakes, islands and hills; it was bathed in light from sunrise to sunset. It was here over the next 30 years where Alec worked on experiments in early aviation and hydrofoils while Mabel contributed both time and resources to the community. Beinn Bhreagh was a happy place, a home designed for comfort and company where all were welcome. This is the story of this period, illustrated with striking informal photographs of family, scientists and Baddeck residents.
