    63: UK Amityville? The Cage St. Osyth (The Witch Prison That Became a Home)

    63: UK Amityville? The Cage St. Osyth (The Witch Prison That Became a Home)

    A little cottage in a small English village. What could be more quaint or peaceful as that?
    Well, not when you’re in St. Osyth in Essex, which is home to what some have claimed, is the British equivalent of the Amityville Horror house.
    They call it The Cage, and it used to be a witch prison. Yet it later became a home. When Vanessa Mitchell purchased the property in 2005, she encountered a horrific series of paranormal events.
    For more on this case, read John Frasers book: Poltergeist! A New Investigation Into Destructive Haunting: Including 'The Cage - Witches Prison' St Osyth

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

    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.

New favorite

I got here because of Obscura's Easter special, and I’m so thankful! May be the most perfect radio voice I’ve ever heard, good stories, and perfect production. The only thing I could ask for is – more. Esposides are toonSHORT! +PLEASE change the cover art & font so more people will know to take a chance on this podcast! I never would have considered giving it a chance based on the thumbnail, font and title of the podcast. I would’ve assumed it was a run-of-the-mill subpar horror.It’s so much more so much better!
