Carl Richard Lepsius (1810-1884) was a pioneering Prussian
Egyptologist considered one of the founders of modern Egyptology.
He was commissioned to lead an archaeological expedition to Egypt
by the Prussian King Frederick Wilhelm IV in 1842. This 1858
English translation presents an 1856 publication that contained one
of the first detailed discussions of the obscure 22nd Dynasty of
ancient Egyptian kings. The 22nd Dynasty were descendants of Libyan
settlers who ruled between c.943 and 716 BCE in the Third
Intermediate Period of Egyptian history, a period characterised by
episodes of political instability. Lepsius discusses the chronology
of succession in the 22nd Dynasty with reference to texts uncovered
by himself and the French archaeologist Auguste Mariette. Although
some of Lepsius' assertions regarding the origin of the 22nd
Dynasty are now known to be incorrect, his book is still a valuable
account of the early historiography of the 22nd Dynasty.

In the early 1800s John Bell moved his family from North Carolina
to the rich bottom lands along the Red River in Robertson County,
Tennessee. Bell, an elder in the Red River Baptist Church, was
well-liked and respected by most in the community and prospered as
a farmer. As Bell worked hard to raise his family and to carve out
a living, the unusual, unexpected, and terrifying happened. Between
1817 and 1821 the Bell family were allegedly tormented day and
night by some heinous menacing spirit called a "witch" known as
"Kate." Kate's remonstrations and activities were witnessed by many
in the community. The events eventually led to the death of John
Bell, and he is the only person whose demise is attributed to the
work of a spirit. Written only seventy-three years after the awful
events transpired, this is the story of the Bell Witch. This is the
eyewiteness account by a member of the Bell family.
