Appalachia Meets World Episode 125 - An Appalachian Halloween with a ”Bell” Witch and Candy Hooten

In this Halloween episode Neil and Will sit down with Candy Hooten, Director of Operations at the Bell Witch Cave with a personal family connection to the Cave as well.  A lot goes on at the Bell Witch property, one of which is being the most haunted places in the U.S. The story goes - a witch (or spirit) haunted the Bell family starting in 1817 and eventually killed John Bell - the only known killing by a spirit.  Hear from Candy Hooten as she gives the background and describes her own personal experiences with the property. Oh yeah, her family also owns the Cave and part of the property.  Take a listen as she gives you an idea of what you can do if you visit - if you dare.  You might even hear about Neil and Will's favorite Halloween candy and whether or not Neil would spend the night in the Cave (hint: NO).  Also, don't forget the #AppBiz of the Week: Hilloween!
