I read the storey in a compendium of American spooks almost 50 years ago. The book it was in was about that old itself - assuming you mean the Bell Witch of Tennassee. It was a good yarn, well told. Caves under the house shouldn't matter since about half way through, the family moved to get away from the ghost. The daughter died anyway. Her last words were supposed to have been "O Father, I am going to love him." Note: The ghost had stated his intention was to kill her so they could be together. The courtship was not described.
