Before getting started, let’s review a few notes that are common to my writings…
*British spelling is often used, except for the quoted material, which normally employs U.S. spelling.
*Old Testament Scripture is normally taken from the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE® (NASB), copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation. Used by permission.
*New Testament Scripture is normally taken from the Analytical-Literal Translation of the New Testament: Third Edition (ALT3). Copyright © 2007 by Gary F. Zeolla of Darkness to Light ministry. Previously copyrighted © 1999, 2001, 2005 by Gary Zeolla.
*The terms LORD, GOD, and Hashem are all ways to describe the personal name of God, also rendered as Yahweh or Jehovah.
*The ALT3 distinguishes between singular and plural second-person pronouns by means of an asterisk (*).
*Divine pronouns are normally not capitalized, unless they appear that way in Bible versions or other quotes.
*As a general rule, words that appear in brackets within quotes are not found in the original texts, and were added by the translators or are my personal comments, etc.
I. That’s Crazy—Isn’t It?
Crazy
is often a very relative term. What is commonplace to one culture may be very bizarre to another. It’s like the misguided charge: "I don’t have an accent. YOU have the accent!" We all have verbal accents—and cultural ones. Thus, it may seem crazy to some to consider such topics as demons, fallen angels, and monstrous creatures of antiquity. However, throughout much of world history it would have been strange not to be interested in such supernatural topics.
For example, one of the most famous ghost stories in North American lore is the Bell Witch haunting. Although it may be dismissed today as some sort of hoax or misunderstanding of electric currents, many people witnessed the strange poltergeist and were deeply influenced by it. These witnesses were not just a group of yokels; rather, just as Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan are among credible witnesses to UFOs, even so Andrew Jackson bore witness to the Bell Witch…
So widely spread was the news about The Bell Witch that people came from hundreds of miles around hoping to hear the spirit’s shrill voice or witness a manifestation of its vile temper. When word of the haunting reached Nashville, one of its most famous citizens, General Andrew Jackson, decided to gather a party of friends and journey to Adams to investigate.
The General, who had earned his tough reputation in many conflicts with Native Americans, was determined to confront the phenomenon and either expose it as a hoax or send the spirit away. A chapter in M. V. Ingram’s 1894
