I remember the exact week this video came out. It was smack-dab in the last few weeks before Halloween 2009, so I just put it off as another case of someone being creatively weird, and never really gave any credence to the "serial killer" rumors.

The years that followed ended up leading to the emergence of videographers of a particular stripe and to ARG video content, so Tara's hit single feels rather tame in a world populated by "Obey the Walrus", reposts of deep-fried versions of Budd Dwyer's last moments, or by Shaye Saint John's mutilated supermodel antics.

I feel fantastic, hey hey hey...

I Feel Fantastic

Who remembers this video from 2009?

Tara the Android was created by John Bergeron. He stated that he created the android to entertain and perform.

The video is centered entirely on a pale, mannequin-like character who sings the title song (I feel fantastic) through a primitive voice-simulator program while bizarre, atonal synthesizer music noodles in the background. The mannequin can only move her head and her hands. (The gifs dont do the creepy-ness any justice, watch the video)

Rumors started circulating that John Bergeron was a serial killer and he dressed the mannequin in the clothes of his victims. At one point the video cuts from the mannequin to a shot of the woods while the “Please leave, run run run” plays in the background. Rumors also stated that Bergeron had killed a woman named Tara and was using this video to hint/taunt viewers of her body’s location.

Eventually a 15 minute video of Tara the Android surfaced and it pointed to a more another more practical explanation: that Bergeron created her to be the first android music star.

No solid evidence confirms any of the rumors. No one knows John Bergeron’s true identity either.

Haunted Series: The Bell Witch Cave

When you hear the words, "Bell Witch Cave," it probably conjures up images from the hit indie horror movie, "The Blair Witch Project." After all, the movie was loosely based on the happenings of the witch said to reside in this real-life cave.

The Bell Witch Cave can be located in Adams, Tennessee, formerly known as Red River.

What's So Special About This Cave?

As the name implies, the Bell Witch is said to reside in this cave. As we all know, most modern witches are individuals who live mundane lives just like everyone else and have no mission to harm others. "Bell Witch" is the name given to the entity that had cast horror upon the Bell family.

What Happened to the Bell Family?

The ordeal allegedly started in 1817. The Bell family started to hear terrifying things in the night such as rattling chains, whispered hymnals, and knocking on the walls of the house. The children complained of their covers being pulled off of them at night and their pillows being thrown.

The activity turned for the worst when the witch turned their attention mainly to the patriarch of the family, John Bell, and his daughter, Betsy Bell. They experienced physical trauma such as being pushed and getting slapped across the face, even leaving hand prints.

The activity was so infamous that their neighbors and even former president Andrew Jackson had to experience it for themselves. Both had bad experiences, especially one of Andrew Jackson's soldiers who taunted the entity.

The Bell Witch started to focus their ill-intentions on the daughter, Betsy, when she became engaged to Joshua Gardner. For unknown reasons, the entity was strongly opposed to the marriage. The violence became so unbearable that Betsy broke off the marriage, which provided some relief to the torment.

At the end of it all, it was poor John that received the worst of the attention. The witch would often voice their hatred and intention to kill the man. As time went by, his health severely declined and, upon his death, the being announced to the family that they finally poisoned him, killing him. The family, in fact, did find a vial of unknown liquid in a cabinet. Even in death, John was unable to escape, as the witch was heard joyfully celebrating his death at the funeral.

Oddly enough, despite all of their ill-will, the being was recorded to have saved the life of a boy who got stuck in the cave and gave him a lecture on his recklessness and general caving safety.

Who Was the Bell Witch?

There is a debate within the paranormal investigative community on the identity of the Bell Witch. However, the more common theories involve a previous neighbor named Kate (the most common theory), a killed slave, and the scorned ex-lover of John Bell.

What Now?

Even at this time of writing, the cave supposedly is still fraught with paranormal activity. It is said that you can still hear their whispers and knocks on the cave walls. Shadows are regularly seen as well. If you are interested in visiting the cave and experiencing this first-hand, click here to get redirected to a website to schedule a tour.
