Clarksville, TN – The Austin Peay State University (APSU) Science on Tap will return to Upstairs at Strawberry Alley Ale Works on Tuesday, October 5th, 2021 with a discussion of a story that has captured the region’s imagination for 200 years.
“I’m hoping that people can see this old and magical case through new and scientific eyes,” she said.
The Bell Witch legend centers on the haunting of Robertson County farmer John Bell Sr. and his family from 1817 to 1821.
Mann’s research shows that the haunting can be explained by science, specifically that Bell was the victim of arsenic poisoning.
