“The Reluctant Ghost Hunterâ€
©Copyright of story Glenn James“The Reluctant Ghost Hunter†is © copyright of Judyth PiazzaGraphically the story opens with a brief telling of the Bell Witch Hauntings, concentrating on the more sensational aspects: This is not only to make it more exciting for the reader, but as transpires when it reaches its most dramatic point, the story is being recounted in brief to Judyth by the Editor of her newspaper, The Metro Daily Gazette.He is thoroughly enthusiastic about the subject, and wants her to go and report on the hauntings.

Stories all year. She has had enough. If she has got to cover a ghost story she is going to do such a damn good job of it that it will guarantee front-page headlines and a ticket out of this intolerable situation. She doesn’t believe in ghosts as such, but is determined to get the facts as completely as possible.Getting together Rich the Camera Man, and Leon the Sound Technician, both old friends and a sympathetic ear, Judyth asks them to come and cover the story with her, as she is planning a full length report in print, on the internet, and television. The farm is not easy to find, and they have to ask directions at local shops, one of which we see is a place which sells Crystals and magic stones.
There has been talk of hauntings beginning again at the Bell’s Farm in recent times, and the caretaker who meets them to give them the key is not enthusiastic about them going inside.
