The Bell Witch Unveiled At Last: The True Story of a Poltergeist by DJ Lyons

If you are looking for a serious investigation into the Bell Witch mystery that took place in Adams, TN from 1817 to 1821, this isn’t the book. Let us get that out of the way immediately. Thus my advice on reading a sample before buying. I should have done this, but I did not.

Most of the salient facts of the case are included in this book but are hard to trace through the confusion of multiple first person accounts made by spirits of the primary characters being channeled through the author, Ms DJ Lyons.

This book is about new age, or I suppose I should say old age, ideas of Earth Goddess, Spiritualism, Channeling, Transmigration of Souls, Multiple past and future lives, and the balance or imbalance of Nature. This is not really my cup of tea, but if you are interested in any of the above, this book should fit the bill.

Despite not being the type of stuff I believe or even with which I associate myself, I confess I found the book hard to put down. One doesn’t have to believe or agree with Ms Lyons to know that she is quite the author.

I don’t think I should mention much about her take on The Bell Witch Mystery, because I might give away something too soon for the reader. One thing I can say is that in this book anyway, The Bell Witch is NOT Cate (Kate) Batts.

So journey back in time to phenomena that had repercussions in four states TN, NC, KY, and VA. Listen again to the tales of the persecution of John (Old Jack) Bell and his family, especially his daughter Betsy. Discover the dirt that often is swept under the rug in this case, of which I will say only that John Bell is often portrayed as something far different than what he really was in some accounts of this case that I have read. Not in this one, Ms. Lyons calls a spade a spade.

This book may not be a serious investigation, but it isn’t boring, that’s for certain. I will give three out of five stars.

Quoth the Raven…

The Bell Witch Unveiled at Last! The True Story of a Poltergeist DJ Lyons 9781604744774 Books Reviews

Hi DJ from Teresa,
I just finished your book! And....,Wow!

I hear your voice, your mannerisms so clearly. Now I see why you were the perfect teacher for Conflict Resolution.

My favorite chapter is 77. I feel that this chapter better helped me to learn forgiveness.

My least favorite chapter is 81, Betsy Bell and Joshua. I do not like to hear about child abuse. When it is in the news, when I learn about it from friends who it happen to, I am sad. I am glad that I have not had this experience, but somehow, I internalize their suffering. Somehow, when I read about the abuse to Cate, I expected that. Knowing how strong Cate was, I knew that with her powers, she could succumb. However, I felt different for Betsy...she was so young.

DJ, there is so much more I could say. This is the first book I have read where multiple people speak in first person. I believe you. I believe what you have written. I think I understand your message and purpose for this book. To me, it goes deeper than solving the mystery. Again, I refer to Chap. 77. As one is led through the events, through the dialogue, one begins to understand the underlying message which must be your purpose on this Earth Plane. Do I have it right?

Review of The Bell Witch Unveiled at Last!

All of my life, I have heard the story of the infamous Bell Witch of current day Adams,
Tennessee. I have heard the story many times and in many different ways, but the most prevalent factor in all stories is that Kate (Cate) Batts was the cause of the "witching" and that she was solely responsible for sending old John Bell to his maker. So, when I learned of the book, The Bell Witch Unveiled at Last by D.J. Lyons, it was like a breath of fresh air. The book's sole purpose- to give a voice to the disenfranchised Cate Batts, who has been a whipping post for far too long. The book brings the legend to life in a very interesting way- through the words of Cate Batts herself.

The book paints a image of Batts that the reader can now associate with the legend. Cate Batts is no longer a faceless feature, but made alive by Lyons to tell her own tale, and by doing so, discloses the true identity of the mysterious Bell Witch.

Hold on to your pants, reader, because Cate Batts will take you for a ride back in time, to the small town of Adams, Tennessee and the home of the Bell Witch!

Note to self, and to everyone reading this review always download a sample before downloading the full book. I suppose I should have known from the title what this would be like, but the three 5-star reviews-- apparently written by braindead and/or illiterate people-- convinced me to download this drivel. I wish I could get my money back.

I didn't finish this because it was so bad. It COULD have been good if

1) it didn't read as if it had been written by a middle schooler, with short, choppy, and awkward sentences and an overuse of exclamation points. I can only guess that DJ Lyons, whose real name is Debbie Dunn, is a better storyteller than a writer.

2) It hadn't been so silly, e.g. Cate's supposed psychic abilities and a lot of New Age garbage (Cate can see her past and future lives... really? Whatever).

3) It had actually had some historical accuracy. It's NOT history, it's not a true account; it is a very badly-written fantasy story that is loosely based on the actual events.

The only thing "true" about this book, from what I read of it, is that you should not pay your hard-earned money on it. If you're interested in the real story, read the actual account of the family, "An Authenticated Account of the Bell Witch" by M.V. Ingram. The version is only $.99 as opposed to the cow flop that I wasted $15 on.
