Facing My Demons at the Black Magic Church

Weird in the Wade

Available for over a year

Nat visits the ruin of St Mary's Old Church, Clophill. On a chilly December morning, 60 years after the ruin became notorious for black magic rituals, devil worship, vandalism, desecration and hauntings, Nat spend a few hours recording and photographing the site. An instance of pareidolia (seeing a figure in random mottled wall markings in this case) forces her to confront some childhood demons. You don't have to have listened to the previous episodes about Clophill's infamous church to listen to this bonus episode but you might enjoy it more if you have heard those episodes already. Photographs accompanying this episode can be found on the show blog: weridinthewade.blog If you have any feedback, suggestions or just want to get in touch with the show email: [email protected] Weird in the Wade is researched, written and presented by Nat Doig Theme music by Tess Savigear
