The legendary curse of the Bell Witch is explored in A&E Network’s new series Cursed: The Bell Witch. Debuting on October 26, 2015 at 10pm ET/PT, the series stars Bell Witch curse descendant John Ceallach who believes his son is next in line for the curse. The original series is executive produced by Rebecca Toth Diefenbach, Valerie Haselton, Lucilla D’Agostino, Phil Davis, Elaine Frontain Bryant, Brad Abramsonm and Laurie Sharpe.
The Plot: “Legend has it that in the early 1800s, a Tennessee landowner named John Bell had a child out of wedlock with a local witch named Kate Batts. To cover his tracks, it is believed he murdered her and in turn she cursed his family bloodline from her grave; the first-born male of each generation would either be driven insane or suffer a mysterious, untimely death. Since then, five Bell men are reported to have suffered this fate and today, John Ceallach, a direct descendent of John Bell, finds that his 14-year-old son could be next in line.
Ceallach and his best friend Chad Higgenbotham, both armed with expert military experience, will embark on a haunted investigation as they enlist the help of psychics, shamans, paranormal investigators and demonologists to get to the bottom of the curse that has plagued John’s family for generations. In the end, they hope to find the origin of the curse and the closure needed for this long-standing spell to be broken.”
