We finish off our month of spooky crimes with the Bell Witch, the only spirit known to have killed someone. Or did she? We have thoughts...and some righteous indignation.   Along the way, we meet Andrew Jackson's douchebag witch tamer, Richard "Pervert" Powell, and learn about liar's clubs!   Learn about our brand new giveaway AND send us your creepy stranger stories! We shared ours--it's only fair. Send them to oldtimeycrimey@gmail.com.    Also, give us that 5-star review you know we deserve! You can also follow us here on Podbean, Stitcher, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. While you're at it, hit us up on our FB group, Twitter, Reddit, or Insta to talk Old Timey Crime.   Thanks for listening, and remember, don't be a racist ghost.  _______________________ Sources:
