Bellwood Mansion
July 17th, 2009
The Bellwood Mansion is located in Dover, Tennessee. The mansion is no longer inhabited, and is located in the middle of the woods. Spirits still seem to occupy the halls of this spooky site. Ghosts are said to haunt the mansion, but there have also been reports of the mansion being the site of satanic rituals and witchcraft, which in that case would bring a ton of spirits to the site by that reason alone.
If anyone has ever gone to the mansion, you will notice that it is fenced off. Has anyone been brave enough to venture past this fence and into a realm of the unknown?
I spent my summers in Middle Tn. with my dad. Friends always tried to get me to go, never did. Looks like a lovely fixer upper though. I am a Christian but do believe in Spirits. My mother lived in a house off of Coles Ferry pike in Lebanon Tn. Everyone that ever did enter the home said it was haunted. I would love to get the real history. Some of the comments just don’t add up. I thought it dated back to John Bell. The spirits if they are there are crying out for help. If anyone is ever in NC. Fort Macon is a very intersting historical and some say haunted place. Most people around here will say you can feel an uneasiness when you go into the bottom of the fort where the pows were for hundreds of years. Hope someone invests into the property
I have been to Fort Macon many times…wonderful history and to stand on the hill and overlook the Ocean is wodnderful..plus some great places to eat…don’t forget the small gift shop…
Did I feel anything there–never as you can walk through all the rooms and see how everyone lived and fought during that time…

Do you know who I may contact or do you have a phone # to this place toi do an overnight investigation?
i have been in this mansion several times, pretty scary especially if you know the full history of it. there are secret chambers in the house that have the original locks and have never been opened. however there are other ways into the chambers and basement. there is a lot of the original furniture and belongings still left in the house. people have tried to buy/rent it but have been drove away.
it has a lot of haunting history especially associated with john bell and the bell witch in adams tn. this was another one of his homes. the basement and secret chambers is probably the scariest bc it has the original locks on it that have not been opened since john bell was there. @tamberlyn

I agree with April.The house is just a old ran down place.and its NOT haunted.It was not to log a go the old place was Broken
in to and the piano was trashed.I hated it for old Miss Anna Ray.I remember going over there and she would play us songs on that old piano.I have been in it a lot and im like April,there is nothing there.Its a shame how someone can just say a silly story about a place and then it turns out like this,everyone wanting in it so bad.and when they do get in it they cant just leave things be they have to bract everything.sometimes the old lady stays in the home.so just think about it when you bract in it just think she could be inside and that your probably scaring her to death so give it a rest and leave it along .your just wasting your time.
Actually the John Bell of Bellwood Mansion is not the same John Bell as in Witch Haunting. This John Bell was a politician and ran for President at the same time as Abraham Lincoln. He also served as Secretary of War in 1844. He was apparently a slave owner but nothing has been said that he cruel (aside from the fact he owned people). I live on Old Highway 79 myself and havent heard peep from the locals. I did read one alleged account that sounded pure bull but who knows. Probably a rumor like the terrorist training camp in this county, nothing but campfire stories and rumors.
