As someone who is very familiar with the legend of the Bell Witch I must say that I was very disappointed in this film. I live in Tennessee and have been to Adams, TN on several occasions and have read numerous accounts of what is said to have happened to the Bell family. I guess that I was expecting the storyline to be more in tune with the legend. There are several parts of the legend that should have been included that were for whatever reason omitted. There is no account of the story that I have found that indicates that there had been any sexual abuse of Betsy Bell by her father. Guess this just goes to show that this day and age you can't even have a good haunting without there being some sexual connotation implied.
