    The Jumping Church of Kildemock

    The Jumping Church of Kildemock

    In the 1700s, did a church in County Louth, Ireland really jump over the buried body of someone it didn't want in its grounds? Or was it a powerful storm that somehow moved a wall exactly three feet and left it standing upright? The ruins of the Church of Kildemock only tell stories, but no answers so its up to you, our Chief Detectives, to take your own leap of faith. Need the evidence first? Athena and Tiernan will jump to it.

Creep me out more please!

I started listening to bust or trust for a school trip and now I’m hooked! I always wait in great anticipation for the next episode to come out. I especially love the ones that are a bit creepier like the wendigo that make me a bit on edge! Keep up the good work!
