Ghost Stories - The Oldest Ghost Stories

The story of the bell witch is apparently one of the most famous which is out there in america. There are still people who either don't believe, or, like, this is so obvious, why would you believe? Sure? I don't know. Anyway, i had a hard time swallowing it, and i usually am just so accepting of every ghost story. But for this to be one of the oldest ones, someone's got to believe it. Also, i would rather just believe it and not have that person come after me.
