    60: Clophill: The Black Magic Church That Terrified a Nation (Part 2)

    Imagine stepping into a place where the veil between our world and the paranormal is at its thinnest. Ground where the echoes of unholy rituals and desecrations linger in the air. That's what we’ll find in the abandoned British church that became a magnet for Black magic in the 1960s. But the tale doesn't end there. Tonight, we delve deeper into the shadows to uncover the terrifying paranormal activity that haunts this cursed ground. And if you dare to stay with me until the end, I'll share a chilling encounter of my own, experienced in the dead of night within the church's forsaken walls.
    In Part 1, two boys stumble across Jenny Humberstone's desecrated skeleton...then all hell breaks loose.
    In Part 2, we explore the church's paranormal history, including my own very creepy experience there at midnight.

Missypeeps ,

I do believe in an interventionist ghost

Especially loved the recent double ep about ghosts intervening to save people. Well-researched, well-told.

Terribly Terrific Tales

Totally terrifying and well researched true tales. Professionally produced & eloquently read. I particularly loved the Tale of Teresita Basa. Just don’t listen to it before bedtime…

Creepy, funny and informative

This podcast balances the macabre and humour expertly. Peter is really good at taking dark subjects and talking about them in a way that gives you goosebumps without causing you to spiral down a dark rabbit hole....most of the time :-) Excellent podcast, can't recommend it enough.
