I saw on some site that before you're allowed to go into the Bell Witch Caves that you have to sign a waiver. Is that some kind of gimmick to attract visitors, or is there some other reason?

The waiver is to hold the owners harmless if someone should get hurt while in the cave. The ground is wet and slick with moss, and there's nothing to hold onto but the stone walls, on which there are big, ugly cave spiders. In some places the overhead is so low that people have to bend down to pass through. People with claustrophobia or arachinophobia should avoid the Bell Witch Cave and caves in general.

Do the people who live in the area think the cave is haunted, or that it has anything to do with the Bell Witch?

Do they tell people about the big, ugly cave spiders before they go in? The tour guide tells people about the spiders and claims they aren't poisonous unless a person happens to have an allergic reaction. I would hope people who are afraid of spiders would avoid going into caves.

The reason I asked is because the post on the other site sort of implied that the reason for the waiver was because there was something of a paranormal nature in the cave that could cause some kind of harm to a person.
