An American Haunting

Visible crew/equipment: When Betsy is having the sheet pulled up over her, the lightning flashes and lights up the visibility. You can see a wire which is being used to guide the sheet.

Factual error: As the film itself notes, the major action starts in spring 1818 and continues for several weeks if not months. However, many of the trees remain leafless and the weather is nothing like the norm in spring and summertime Tennessee.

Continuity mistake: When John Bell has blood coming out of his mouth, his left hand is covered with blood. When the camera shot switches it is his right hand that is covered in blood. Then when the shot switches back to the first angle the left hand is back to being the hand that is covered in blood.
