Pues no habia entradas para SAW V. Solo conseguí en un megarincon del cine y no era la manera de ver esta pelicula. Asi que me quede viendo otras opciones. Termine viendo "An American Haunting" que para nuestros mercados latinos fue traducida como "Apariciones" (¡¡¡????).Esta pelicula tiene fecha de estreno en 2005 pero apenas este año es exhibida en Colombia (despues se quejan de la pirateria). El director es Courtney Solomon, un joven director que solo habia tenido la oportunidad de dirigir una pelicula llamada "Dungeons & Dragons". Recuerdo que la vi hace mucho y no tenia nada de especial.
"An American Haunting" tiene una promesa básica entre las películas de su genero (apariciones, fantasmas poltergeist):
Based on the true events of the only case in US History where a spirit caused the death of a man
La pelicula no tuvo gran taquilla y carece en realidad de buenos efectos que merezcan recomendarla. Pero lo verdaderamente interesante son los hechos en los que se basa.
La bruja de Bell (conocida asi por atacar la familia Bell de Tenessee entre 1.817 y 1.820) tuvo gran reconocimiento en su tiempo. Ha sido la fuente de estudio de muchos libros y se comenta que también ha servido de inspiración de peliculas como "The Blair Witch Project". Su fama es ta en el floklore popular del Missisippi que muchos investigadores aseguran que el mismisimo General Andrew Jackson (septimo presidente de USA) presenció hechos paranormales al respecto.

Segun cuenta la leyenda, el padre de la familia Bell tenia discusiones patrimoniales con una mujer del pueblo de Adams en relación con unas tierras. La iglesia intervino en estos juicios y declaro que John Bell en verdad era culpable pero ya habia perdido mucho y no se le iba a castigar de otra manera. La mujer, de nombre Kate Batts, temida por el pueblo por ser una supuesta bruja, echa su maldicion sobre la familia y desde entonces inicia una pesadilla que terminaría 3 años despues con la muerte de Bell. La bruja volvería luego en 1935 a aterrar los residentes de la casa Bell.

Es muchisima informacion proveniente muchas fuentes que es dificil recopilar sin sentir algo de miedo asi que solo me limitare a colocar un par de interesting facts.El primero es una de las declaraciones de Henry Pickering, servidor publico del condado de Clarksville, Tenn en relacion a las historias contadas por su padre, quien visito la familia Bell durante los insólitos ataques:
Father told me some remarkable experiences that Frank Miles had with the witch, but I will only repeat one or two things in his own personal experience and contact. He said: The family and company had all retired for the night in the usual way. Presently he felt the cover slipping off toward the foot of the bed, and he drew it up, holding it tightly. The next minute he felt something like a hand or fingers tickling him under the toes. He drew his feet up and kicked with all the power in him. He felt something weighty as his feet struck it, and heard it strike against the wall and fall to the floor, making a noise more like the falling of a side of heavy sole leather, than anything he could describe.
Another instance; while the family and guests were at supper, the subject of a wedding that was to take place at that hour came up. Father stated the names of the contracting parties, which I have forgotten, but remember the circumstance very distinctly, as it impressed me at the time. However, some one remarked that the hour for the marriage had about passed, and the parties were no doubt then man and wife. Another remarked that Rev. Gunn performed the ceremony. The witch then spoke, exclaiming, “No, he did not marry them.” “Yes, but you are mistaken this time,” replied one. “Brother Gunn was engaged to tie the knot, and he never fails.” “He failed this time,” returned the witch. “Brother Gunn was taken very sick and could not go, and the wedding was about to be a failure, but they sent off for Squire Byrns and he married them.” No one present believed it possible for the witch to know the facts so soon, but this was ascertained on the following day to be the truth of the case in every particular. Regarding the authorship of these very singular exhibitions, father thought it absurd to charge it to any of the Bell family. They were the sufferers, and suffered greatly; moreover, they were every one afraid of it; that was clear to any observer. He was there one night when several strangers rode up and halloed ever so long, and not one of the family could be induced to go out, because they were afraid, and he got out of bed, dressed, and went out himself.
