Based on true events that took place in Tennessee during the 1800s, "An American Haunting" tells the story of the only documented case in U.S. history (validated by the State of Tennessee) in which a spirit caused a person's death.

An American Haunting is based on true events documented by the State of Tennessee. Between the years 1818-1820, the Bell Family of Red River, Tennessee was visited by an unknown, unseen presence that terrorized the family. To date, it is the only recorded case in American history where a spirit of entity has caused the death of a human being.

“An American Haunting” is the latest in a box office frenzy of horror movies — and maybe the most unusual. It’s based on a well-documented haunting of a family of settlers along Tennessee’s Red River in the early 19th century.
