Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. Reunion with Astrologer Aliza Kelly

- Aliza’s task today: Use astrology to analyze the Bell Witch haunting, focusing on the stars at pivotal moments of the case.
2. Bell Witch Case Recap
Setting: Adams, Tennessee, early 1800s
Victims: The Bell family
- [03:53] Corinne: “This story starts in the rolling farmland of Adams, Tennessee…known as the Bell Witch Cave. The legend is so chilling that even President Andrew Jackson is said to have paid this poltergeist a visit.”
Chronology
- 1804: John Bell buys land and moves his family in.
- 1817: Unusual events begin—John sees a creature with a dog’s body and rabbit’s head ([06:00]).
- Paranormal escalation:
- Scratching noises grow nightly,
- Chains dragging, whispering voices, bed covers yanked, children slapped and pinched.
- Activity focuses on John Bell and daughter Betsy (Elizabeth).
- John’s health deteriorates.
Unique Features of the Haunting
- The entity communicates verbally—an unusual poltergeist trait.
- The spirit eventually identifies itself as “Kate,” allegedly the ghost of neighbor Kate Batts, linked to land disputes with John Bell ([10:00]).
Community Encounters
- Town rumor grows; outsiders witness supernatural events.
- [11:52] Sabrina: “Future president Andrew Jackson…decided from Nashville to come…with a posse.”
Violence and Death
- Attacks intensify; John Bell suffers targeted violence.
- [15:16] One morning in 1820, John is found dead beside a vial of black liquid.
- The entity boasts: “‘I gave old Jack a big dose of that last night, which fixed him.’” [15:55]
Aftermath
- At John’s funeral, the Bell Witch’s laughter is heard.
- Betsy Bell’s engagement breaks off after relentless hauntings, possibly as protection.
Legacy
- The Bell Witch cave remains active; visitors report encounters.
- “Many believe that this is her…permanent dwelling place.” [19:43]
3. Theories & Feminist Framing of the Bell Witch
- Corinne and Sabrina question the typical narrative painting the witch as evil, suggesting she may have been protective of women in the Bell family, especially Betsy.
- [17:26] Sabrina: “She did get married to another man…The Bell Witch had nothing to say about him.”
- They debate whether “Kate” was scapegoated or represented energies connected to the land.
- [28:00] Sabrina floats the idea that traumatic human experiences can “chip off” and become autonomous spiritual energies.
4. Astrology of the Bell Witch: Uncovering Celestial Patterns
Aliza’s Approach
- For historical mysteries, she focuses on slow-moving, generational planets (Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto) as they shape collective destiny.
Key Dates and Astrological Events
A. Property Purchase: June 1, 1804
- [32:39] Aliza: “Gemini Sun and Pisces Moon…Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune, Venus, and the Moon…all locked in at similar degrees—a vortex energy.”
- “Sets this tone for working with these outer planets in an active way…one of the reasons I’m sort of imagining this to be more of a historical entity…America at this time was so haunted.”
B. The Start of Hauntings: 1817
- [39:16] Outer planets lock in again—another rare pattern.
- “Saturn at 5° Pisces, Jupiter at 5° Sagittarius…for these two to be at the same degree is gonna happen maybe once every 12 years.”
- Aliza notes the Saturnian timeline: “Seven years is a quarter Saturn cycle…30 is a Saturn return…This is a Saturn story.”
C. Haunting Intensifies: Saturn Returns, Pisces Clustering
- [41:54] “Saturn at 5° Pisces, Juno at 11°, Chiron at 21°, Pluto at 25°, plus Moon and North Node…all in Pisces—last zodiac sign, ruler of psychic boundaries, otherworldly energy.”
- “It’s giving tsunami. The flood is coming.”
D. John Bell’s Death: December 19-20, 1820
- [55:49] “Sun-Uranus conjunction at 28-29° Sagittarius...Neptune exactly at 0° Capricorn—endings and beginnings. Pisces planets (Jupiter, North Node, Pluto, Chiron) cluster, echoing this year’s astrological setup—a haunting nodal return.”
- [59:54] Sabrina: “So, like, we are…”
Aliza: “It’s cool—it’s almost like it needed to be talked about.”
E. Betsy Bell’s Liberation: April 16-20, 1821
- [71:10] Aliza: “The biggest pile-up in Aries I have ever seen—Mercury, Chiron, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Sun—all in Aries, on a full moon.”
- “A big, radical shift from Pisces’ supernatural floods to Aries’ new beginnings…rebirth and closure.”
Astrology’s Verdict
- Aliza emphasizes that the cycles marked by key events match classic astrological archetypes of endings, karmic lessons, and rebirths.
- “These planetary markers show a fated-ness…It’s a Saturn story, a story of justice and cycles.”
