The Bell Witch – One Of Many Haunting Accounts Across History
The origins of the Bell Witch – arguably the most well-known of such accounts in the United States – go back to the early-1800s.

The Otherworldly Visit Of The Green Children Of Woolpit?
Although there is some doubt as to the authenticity of the account, the “Green Children of Woolpit” would appear to have at least partial records to back it up. If we accept, then, that the account is a real factual one and not one of folklore and legend, where did these strange children appear from? Were they from another dimension? Or perhaps even from another world? Or, as some of the descriptions suggest, they have come from inside the Earth itself…?
