Witch • by M.V. Ingram Paperback $15.00 + $3.00 shipping/handling The Tennessee legend of the Bell Witch has been internationally known for over 150 years and has been referred to as "America's Greatest Ghost Story". It has been the subject of movies, plays and many books over the years, but this is the first book ever written on this amazing poltergeist phenomenon, originally published in 1894. It was written by newspaper publisher and friend of the Bell family M.V. Ingram, who took a first-hand family account entitled "Our Family Trouble" (which remained unpublished at the request of the family until the last of the first-hand family witnesses passed away), and added to it interviews with other locals who had witnessed the strange events. This book is the original, hard-to-find, real deal folks. |

The Wake of Fading Days • by Robert Ashley Logue Hardbound $19.99 + $4.00 shipping/handling Published by Cold Tree Press, this 204 page brings poems from clear mountain air and seedy, smoke-filled dives; from a childhood between the church pews, from dead-end jobs and one-night stands. These poems are a travelogue, the earliest penned by a naive and romantic adolescent, the latter by a middle-aged husband and father. Along the way, odes to wayward sons and lost daughters bump up against abstract speculations on spirituality, while late-night regrets and wistful reveries mingle with paeons to lust and indulgence - all driven by a restless and elusive yearning and ultimately seasoned with hope. |

Song Co. • On The Road Alone cd $10.00 - © 2005 Stout Projex/ODR Music (languid/progressive folk) This CD is an absolutely beautiful mix of unique melodies, engaging original lyrics, and top-notch musicality. Oscar Rice's guitar playing is flawless soulful acoustic perfection, and Rebecca Stout's vocals are simply outstanding. The arrangements are sparse, the sound is very real, and the instrumentation is pleasantly surprising. This is a breath of fresh air in a stale musical world. Hendersonville Song Company is fantastic! |

Shakers • Living In The Shadow Of A Spirit cassette $4.99 Extremely rare out-of-print item-- this 1988 four-song EP by Nashville alt-folk pioneers The Shakers revolves entirely around the saga of the Bell Witch, known widely as "America's Greatest Ghost Story". The Shakers were well-suited for this project as they were native to the same middle Tennessee region where the haunting took place. This record received widespread airplay on college radio in the late 1980's and the record's "single", "The Healing Hymn" (whose lyrics are attributed to the spirit via books on the subject) was later included on a Rhino Records compilation of the best of 1980's folk music (Troubadors of Folk: Singer-Songwriters of the 1980's). This record was never released on CD and vinyl copies fetch $30 or more. This is a cassette copy, still in the shrink-wrap, never-played. Instrumentation is acoustic guitar, mandolin, fiddle and female soprano. Beautifully melodic and spooky. If you are a collector of rare, unusual Americana music or of paranormal/supernatural ephemera, this item is a must! |
