In the book Bell Witch Stories You Never Heard- From the Family That Lived Next Door, Dr. Jim Brooks has taken a story known in bits and pieces by many in our community and has bound those pieces together in an enthralling narrative of the most extraordinary series of events to happen in Robertson County two centuries ago. Dr. Brooks, being a native of Adams, Tennessee, approaches the Bell Witch stories not as a scholar but as a man familiar with this phenomena for his entire lifetime. His pains- taking research began more than half a century ago through boyhood curiosity of the supernatural events that made Adams famous the world over. By its conclusion, we feel as though we know John Bell, John Johnston, Leslie Covington and all the figures that Brooks so profoundly brings to life. It is a nineteenth century series of stories with a very twenty-first century way of hooking you into the story line. This is a must read for anyone interested in our region and those who love a story that can never be fully explained. Brooks has brought these characters long lost to contemporary society and made us feel that we might run into them at the local store or sit with them in the next pew at church. This book is essential to putting this unique Robertson County lore into its proper historical place. May it always be among us.
