Episode 2: The Book

Assume Nothing

Available for over a year

In June 1989, a family in West Belfast claimed they were being tormented by a violent presence that seemed hellbent on driving them from their home – what really happened? Reggie has discovered that the father of the house wrote a book documenting his family’s traumatic experience – but it’s out of print and copies are very rare. Over 30 years after the events it describes, internet forums and chat rooms are still abuzz with discussions about the haunting and the book - and full of endless speculation. Finally, Reggie discovers a copy in the special collection of a Belfast library, a copy so rare and delicate it’s kept in a protective sleeve and must be handled under supervision – a copy signed by the author. What’s inside?
