In this spine-chilling episode of Fabled, Vanessa K. Eccles takes us on a journey through the eerie remnants of Bellefonte, Alabama—a ghost town shrouded in mystery and silence. Once a thriving community, Bellefonte has been abandoned for nearly a century, leaving only whispers of the past and a lone cemetery. Vanessa delves into the town's history, from its founding in 1821 to its slow demise post-Civil War. The episode explores the lingering spirits in the Bellefonte Cemetery, now overgrown and forgotten, where visitors claim to feel an eerie presence and even see apparitions. Join us as we unravel the secrets of this haunted place and pay tribute to the souls that still call Bellefonte home.
