+DaFunkyFrogs Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 This morning, Mrs. Frog & I were having our coffee & a nice chat...Then we heard the horn, our mail ladys signal that we have to sign for a package...As I was expecting my meds, I headed out the door with the dog at my heels...As we rounded the corner, her hair on her back stood straight up, she growled, then turned tail & ran away...The lady asked what was wrong with her & I had no clue...When I got back in the house, the dog just let out a yelp & ran and hid under the bed...When I opened the mailer, I saw what had scared her...It was the Bell Witch Coin that had her all upset...Thanks Kate, it's a coin we will treasure...now to see if we can coax the dog out from her hiding place...Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!

+Manville Possum Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Finally googled this...Wow what a legend. I have been in that area in TN but have never heard of this before. I hope to be able to go back and find out more. And the coin is great as well All this caught my interest too, I read a few books about the Bell Witch Hauntings after googling the subject. I just HAD to have one of the mystrey coins, I got mine on Ebay. Quote Link to comment

+Vegas Gamblers Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 My wife has been in the hospital since Tuesday. I was able to bring her home today. I checked the mail and there was another beauty that came home. The wonderful Bell Witch was waiting for us. Thank you. Quote Link to comment
+Tonyalynnm Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I had a very busy day, took the dog to the vet, went to Hallmark and got a couple of card for my Christmas card missions, went to the post office and then came home and started raking leaves. It was a very nice day here in Arkansas (61 degrees) so I was really busy getting the yard cleaned up when the mail man ran. I finally went to get the mail and found a package from me to me I know what this means!!! Mystery coin!!! I open it up and...... THE BELL WITCH OMG!!!!!! Black Nickle finish (my favorite finish) #12. I can't believe it Thank you SO much Kate! I love this coin and have been dreaming about it for a while. Thank you Thank you Thank you!

+luckycharmer Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 (edited) The Bell Witch has paid a visit to Illinois. I keep looking at the coin and thinking of how terrifying it must have been living in the Bell home and yet what a generous sweet side of her I see today by the gifting of these coins. Thank you so much. BUT the glowing eyes on the coin are a little scary or maybe a bit mischievous. Could there be more to the Bell Witch story? WHO'S NEXT ON HER LIST TO VISIT? edited to add coin #15 Edited December 5, 2010 by luckycharmer Quote Link to comment

+SgtMikal Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Many congrats to those lucky enough to have received this wonderful and generous gift. I hope to be cheered up by finding one of these haunting my mailbox as well. Money has been so tight lately with debt issues compounded by needing a new roof on the house. It would be nice to "suffer" from distractions for a while. Regardless, THANK YOU to Kate for her unceasing benevolence. May you receive kindnesses beyond your anticipations! Have a wonderful holiday season, however you choose to celebrate! Quote Link to comment

+kehunt64 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 In my mailbox today I found a bubble mailer and I was a little confused as I am not expecting any geocoins. Looking closer I noticed that the envelope was addressed from me to me. With great excitement I opened the envelope and out came a Bell Witch Geocoin and a Captain Hook Geocoin!!! Thank you mystery givers for sending me your beautiful geocoins, your thoughtfulness made my day :D Quote Link to comment
+sweetlife Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 OOH MY I Wish I Knew Who To THANK. My Guess would have to be Bell Witch and Captain Hook. Thank You Thank You Thank You. I was blessed with not only one Mystery Geocoin but two today:) One from each Mystery Person. I first cried with such happy tears because so many things been going on here recently in my life. First of all my mom is been sick and has Cancer and with lots of prayers from so many Friend. I can't thank Each one of you for all the positive comments and helping me stay strong. It is not been easy. I also Have been working on getting my mobility back and been going to physical Therapy and with hard work and effort they are telling me I am doing very well. I am not about to give up. I am able to walk to the end of my drive way which is .10 Mile one way. This year I hope to accomplish many goals this year.

Thank You Again Bell Witch and Captain Hook for the beautiful Mystery Coins. They will be in my honor of doing my best in the years ahead. Quote Link to comment
+NOSNOW Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 We got a big surprise in the mailbox today. A bubbler address to us and sent by us. We opened it and a very nice Bell Witch Geocoin was nicely packed inside. Thank you very much! It will take its place of honor in our display case. We tried to get one of these coins at GWVIII. It was a very interesting hunt. On June 30th we flew into Seattle and got to the hotel around 8pm, we dropped off our bags and went out to pick up a quick dinner and some supplies by a near by grocery store. We got back to the hotel, with our take out dinner and groceries. We took off our boots and started eating and powering up the laptop, then what popped up, was a location that Kate dropped off a Bell Witch coin. I put the cords in the GPS and it was only 4 or 5 miles from the Hotel. I looked at Shadow’s Friend in the middle of a bite of her burger and Said “Get you boots on, we got to hop!” Out we go at 10 pm at night. We get to the location find the tree and then Shadow’s Friend finds the fire tack. WOW could we be that lucky! We raced to the fire tack and start giving the tree a once, twice … going over. We were not having any luck. Then we hear another car pull up and shortly after two people walk past us up the trail. They too were on the hunt the great Bell Witch Geocoin. We started to go over the area for the umpteenth time. The other couple did make their way to our location and also gave it a good look. We exchanged “Hellos”, and a little small talk, but not names. I think we were all preoccupied in trying to find the treasure. We all parted the location knowing that Kate made some other coiner very happy, and us wondering who we meet at the well looked over tree. At least in August at MWGB we solved who we were looking with. We were volunteering at MWGN registration, and Fingers Crossed was getting their package and we were able to introduce ourselves. Thanks again for a wonderful coin and the great adventure you gave us in Washington. Shadow’s Friend and NOSNOW Quote Link to comment
+Ashallond Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Congrats to the new recipients. The only bubbl;e mailer I got today was a coin I had ordered, but I would have loved to get a mailer that I didb't know was coming. Lately the mystery coins have had really stellar designs and I've enjoyed seeing them. Quote Link to comment
+icydove Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I received a mailer addressed to myself from myself. Inside was a Bell Witch coin. Not only that, but the stamps on the mailer were not postmarked. So we got a coin and $1.48 in unmarked stamps. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+Six Little Spookies Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Spooky 5 brought in the mail today, A small pile of bubble mailers on the counter he lay Most were expected, but one was not. Could this be a mystery coin I've got? When in your mailbox a mailer you find, Sent from you to you it boggles the mind. What could it be that you sent yourself? A gift from Kate, the Bell Witch herself! Out from the mailer all misty and eerie Falls this spooky geocoin some think is quite scary. But Spooky is me! I don't easily take fright Thank you Kate for this beautiful sight! Lucky number 13 arrived in the land of the Jersey Devil today. I hope he doesn't mind you intruding on his territory. I know I don't! Thanks for the awesome coin! Quote Link to comment
+The Fossillady Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Wow, got several coin packages today that I was expecting and in the middle of them all was a package from me to me. Weird why would someone send me coins without putting their name one it since I knew they were coming. So I open the package and stare at the coin doesn't look like any I asked for so out come the glasses and low and behold a Bell Witch coin. Yipeee a mystery coin for me. It is number 58 and all I can say is THANK YOU SO MUCH. Quote Link to comment
+BlueEyedAussie Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 After a little back and forth in the Top 5 thread, It seemed like I might get a chance for this coin alot sooner then Cacheapalooza 6. Sure enough, on Saturday night I got an email with some coordinates! The message was pretty much "You want it? Come and get it!" My kind of find! I grabbed my partner in crime and flew out of the house in record time. My GPS led me to a little park a few miles from my house, and we found this coin after searching for a few minutes! Thank you so much!! It is even more amazing to see in person. I love it! Quote Link to comment

+LadeBear68 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Due to work I only pick up my mail about once every week or two weeks. Today I was able to stop by the post office. The Post Master told me she had a package for me. I quickly realized that it was my Mardi Gras coins. When I got to the car I was going through the mail when I noticed another bubble envelope. I didn't remember ordering any other coins. I turned it over and quickly realized this was a mystery coin because it had my name as the return address. Wow, I was super excited and quickly ripped open the envelope with my keys. What a spectacular coin, I was shocked to receive such a beautiful coin. Thank you so much for such a gorgeous coin, it wasn't until I came to the forums that I realized it glows. I can't wait to try it. Thank you again for such a special gift, it definitely made my week and it is only Monday. Quote Link to comment

+anne.and.eli Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I was up until 3:30a last night working on papers for a conference. Well apparently I managed to impress the lady of the night, as today I received my very own Bell Witch coin!!! I often walk around the house with a cat attached to my shoulder (she likes to sit there) so I totally appreciate the cat familiar on the coin. Thank you so very much Kate, I love the coin! It's Eli's birthday, so technically I should probably share the coin with him as it is like a birthday present... But I might just hide this one from him! Quote Link to comment

We came across a Bell Witch coin in our belongings while unpacking from GeoWoodstock - the coin must have cast some sort of weird spell on us - thats the only reason that we can come up with for taking months (and months) to post a log on the forums. Awesome coin. We are happy to add it to our collection. Kootenay Pirates Quote Link to comment

+SgtMikal Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I also received one of these wonderful coins in my mailbox this week. I had my name come up in a drawing recently for another cointest, so when I saw this mailer, I thought it was my prize. I was surprised when I saw the contents of the pkg - this was not the announced prize. In addition, the return address was not from myself, so I was wondering if the prize was actually changed. I waited to announce what I received in here until I contacted WSR to see if he had changed the prize. Sure enough, he told me that he had not changed it, and he still has my prize. Sooo...I would like to offer my heart-felt thank yous to the lovely person who saw it in their heart to send me this breath-taking coin. It really went a long way to lifting my spirits as our family continues to go through some troubling financial times. Thanx again!!! Quote Link to comment
