1
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: Nine year old Anna was the first to be afflicted,

2
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: having been found just outside the house one chilly morning

3
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: in February, rolling around in the dirt and convulsing wildly.

4
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: When the strange fit eventually ended, she was brought inside

5
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 1: and placed on her bed, where she lay limp and

6
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: lifeless for what seemed like hours before finally coming round,

7
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: seemingly unharmed, as if merely waking from a deep sleep.

8
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: The funny turn had been all but forgotten by the

9
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: following week, when workers out in the field were alerted

10
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: to the sound of screams coming from a nearby road,

11
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: running to investigate. This time it was Anna's ten year

12
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: old brother, John, who was found writhing about in the mud,

13
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: his teeth shut and his eyes fixed in terror at

14
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: some far off point, as foam frothed at his mouth.

15
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: It took three of them to still him before they

16
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: could carry him inside. That night, with John recovered, parents

17
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: Anne and Nicholas Starkey stood watch over their children as

18
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: they lay peacefully in their beds, a candle gently flickering

19
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: on the mantelpiece as they prayed to God to protect them.

20
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: Since their marriage in fifteen seventy eight, Anne and Nicholas

21
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: had already lost four children and they would be damned

22
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: if they were to lose another. But the fits would

23
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: not stop. Each time, the children would be struck, rigid

24
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: and flung to the ground as their bodies jerked and

25
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: spasmed uncontrollably. Afterwards, they would be left almost catatonic, sometimes

26
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: for hours, before returning to their normal selves. Over the

27
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: next six weeks, the couples tirelessly for a cure, spending

28
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: the equivalent of thousands of pounds in today's money on

29
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: doctor's fees, only to be told repeatedly there was nothing

30
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: physically wrong with their children. Eventually, the couple were forced

31
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: to accept the terrifying truth that their children had been

32
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: possessed by something diabolical. The family lived at Cleworth Hall,

33
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: a large mansion house built sometime around the year thirteen

34
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: hundred located just outside the town of Tyldesley in Lancashire

35
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: in the northwest of England, that had been passed down

36
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: through Anne's family before she herself inherited it. They lived

37
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: there with a number of staff and their children, who

38
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: managed the property and worked the surrounding fields. At the time,

39
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: much of Lancashire remained largely untouched by the Reformation currently

40
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: sweeping the land. The Reformation sought primarily to undermine the

41
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 1: power and teachings of the Catholic Church and bring the

42
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: nation into a more modern, less superstitious age. But as

43
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: many might have said, it wasn't merely superstition. You're listening

44
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 1: to unexplained and I'm Richard McClean smith. It was late

45
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: one evening in March fifteen ninety five when Nicholas Starkey

46
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: rode out in desperation under the silvery light of the moon,

47
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: to the home of Edmund Hartley, a well known local conjurer.

48
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: After Nicholas explained his predicament, Heartly accompanied him back to

49
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: the clue Worth estate, where he found the children once

50
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: again subdued and unresponsive after another bout of fits. Recognizing

51
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: the work of the devil, instantly, Heartly grabbed a series

52
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: of ornate Catholic charms from his bag and some bunches

53
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: of herbs, which he lit with a candle, flooding the

54
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: room with their pungent to roma. Then, standing over the children,

55
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: he began to utter strange and unusual words, until finally

56
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: his work was done. The following morning, the children arose

57
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: as fit and healthy as they had ever been. Nicholas

58
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: thanked Hartly for his work and paid him handsomely for

59
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: his services, but the cure did not last long, and

60
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: soon he was forced to call for Hartly once again.

61
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: After administering another successful treatment, Hartly suggested they make the

62
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: arrangement more formal so he could be on hand whenever

63
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: they needed him. After all, there was no knowing if

64
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: he'd even be available next time. Terrified at the prospect

65
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: of being unable to help their children, the Starkey's agreed

66
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: to the arrangement and offered Hartly the equivalent of forty

67
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: days pay to cover his costs for the next year.

68
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 1: And so things continued for the next eighteen months, with

69
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: Hartly continuing to visit the property to employ his charms

70
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: and herbs whenever John and Anna were tormented by the

71
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: evil spirits. Then, in September fifteen ninety six, with their

72
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: possession seemingly well under control, Partly seized his chance. It

73
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: was only fair, he said, considering how successful he'd been

74
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: in keeping the evil at bay, that they consider giving

75
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: him a raise, and perhaps a house and some land too.

76
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: But with the children appearing to be all but cured.

77
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: The starkeys refused. Angered by their snub, hertly fled from

78
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: their home, but not before issuing the stark, warning that

79
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: their battles with the devil were far from over and

80
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: with him gone, they would almost certainly get worse. And

81
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: with that he left. If there's ever been a year

82
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: to make the mums in your life feel loved and

83
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,080

84
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: baby last year, I know how hard it's been for

85
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: my mum not being able to share the moment with

86
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: us in the ways we would like to have done,

87
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: which is why I'll be honoring my mum with a heartfelt,

88
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,080

106
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: heard one morning coming from young Elizabeth Hardman's bedroom. Hardman,

107
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: the daughter of house staff who also resided at Cleworth Hall,

108
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: was found scrabbling about under her bed, clawing at the floor.

109
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: When asked what she was doing, she stopped suddenly and

110
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: stuck her head out from underneath. I must find a

111
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: way through, she said, because the devil is waiting for

112
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: me on the other side. Then, jumping out from under

113
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: the bed, the girl charged head first toward a nearby window,

114
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: only to be caught just in time before she was

115
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: able to throw herself out of it. Not long after

116
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: this bizarre incident, the house was shaken by strange cries

117
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: coming from every quarter. Elizabeth, her sister Margaret, and their

118
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: friend Eleanor Holland, who also resided at the property, were

119
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: found in a bedroom howling together like wolves, and before

120
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: long John and Anna Starkey began howling too, in unison

121
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: with them. Not only had the demonic spirits returned, but

122
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: they were now spreading. To Convinced that Edmund Hartley was

123
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: somehow responsible, Nicholas traveled immediately to Manchester to seek the

124
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: advice of the warden of Manchester's christ College, a man

125
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: considered by many to be one of the most learned

126
00:08:54,400 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: individuals in the country. His name was doctor John d d.

127
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: A graduate of Cambridge University and one of the leading

128
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: scientific minds of his day, had by the fifteen eighties

129
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: risen to become a respected scholar and leading adviser to

130
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth, as well as her designated court astronomer, after

131
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: becoming increasingly fascinated in the occult. However, by the fifteen

132
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: nineties his reputation had waned considerably when it was revealed

133
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: that he had been attempting to communicate with angels, and

134
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: according to him, succeeding in his venture, Rumors began to

135
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: spread that he was in league with the devil. Having

136
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: amassed one of the largest libraries in the country, D

137
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: returned home from a six year trip to Europe in

138
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: eighteen eighty nine to find it had been ransacked by

139
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: a paranoid mob who destroyed over four hundred of his

140
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 1: most treasured texts, as well as numerous instruments and laboratory equipment.

141
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: Worse still, the man he entrusted his estate too, while

142
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: he was gone, had failed to collect rent payments that

143
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: were owed to him. Struggling for money, he was forced

144
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: to seek settled employment, and in fifteen ninety six took

145
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: on the role as warden of Christ's College. It was

146
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 1: in this capacity that Nicholas Starkey sought his help, telling

147
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: him that Edmund Hartley had, through malignant kisses, put the

148
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: devil into his children and three others in his household.

149
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: Though d took the matter seriously enough, he simply couldn't,

150
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: under the circumstances, be seen to be dealing in anything

151
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: of a diabolical nature. Instead, he suggested that Starkeys seek

152
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: the help of some godly preachers who might be willing

153
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: to pray over the children and help weed out the

154
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: nefarious spirits. D agreed also that Edmund Hartley should be

155
00:10:54,040 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: dealt with. By the time Nicholas returned to Cleworth Hall,

156
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: things appeared to have settled down in the new year,

157
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: with the children seeming much better. They were taken to

158
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: visit relatives in Manchester, including thirty three year old Marge Byrom,

159
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: a close relation of Nicholas's. It was a few days

160
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: after the Starkey's left that Marge was sat at home

161
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: alone in front of the fire, when suddenly she was

162
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: raised from her chair and thrown violently to the floor.

163
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: Coming round moments later, she managed to clamber back to

164
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: her feet and back into the chair, only to be

165
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: violently flung from it again. From that point on, she

166
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: became convinced that something malignant had got inside her, and

167
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: soon she was seeing it too. It started with the

168
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: sense of something moving about in her belly that seemed

169
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: to take the form of a calf's head that pushed

170
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: and squirmed under her skin, stabbing at her as if

171
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: it were made of nails. Then a rush of cold

172
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: air would shoot up from her lungs and out of

173
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: her mouth, giving her the overwhelming urge to bark and

174
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: howl into the air. Moments later, it would return the

175
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: other way, as if someone were breathing cold air straight

176
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: into her mouth. Then it shot down into her stomach,

177
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: weighing her down like a stone, pulling her to the

178
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: ground where she would be forced to lie on her

179
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: side as her body shivered and her teeth chattered in

180
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: her mouth. Any attempt she made to get warm would

181
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: only result in her being wrenched back away from the

182
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: source of heat. Calling on Hartley's services again, Nicholas took

183
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: him to march Byrom's house to see if he could help.

184
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: With d tipped off. He sent an observer, Matthew Palmer

185
00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: there also to keep an eye on the proceedings. Barging

186
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: into the property, he found Heartly murmuring strange incantations over

187
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: a prostrate Byrom, and demanded immediately to know what was

188
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: going on. When Hartly said he was merely praying, an

189
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: unconvinced Palmer demanded to hear the prayers for himself. Looking sheepish,

190
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: Heartly admitted that the only prayer he really knew was

191
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: the Lord's prayer. Very well, then, said Palmer, I will

192
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: hear that. But Hartly had lied about that. Palmer then

193
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: turned to Byrom and asked her for her version of events,

194
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: but the woman would not meet his eye, too afraid

195
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: of what Hartly might do should she betray him. Having

196
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: seen enough, Palmer reported Hartly to the local justices of

197
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: the Peace, and in March fifteen ninety seven, he was

198
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: promptly arrested and sent to Lancaster Castle to await trial

199
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: on suspicion of conjuring and raising the devil. One of

200
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: the things I always struggle with is finding the time

201
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: and energy after a long day of work to put

202
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: together a meal that is genuinely part of a healthy,

203
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: balanced diet, and I really don't feel great when I

204
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: end up eating take out for almost every meal. This

205
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: all changed once I found Daily Harvest. Daily Harvest delivers

206
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,440

208
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,680

221
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: Peace Edmund Hopwood rode out to Cleworth to take testimony

222
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: from his apparent victims and witness their plight for himself.

223
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: In the days prior to his arrival, the children had

224
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: taken to crawling about for hours on their hands and knees,

225
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: yelping like dogs, and scuttling away from anybody that tried

226
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: to get near them, And when they did finally return

227
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,359
Speaker 1: to their feet, they appeared gripped by a supernatural inability

228
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: to speak, though they seemed well enough. When Hopwood arrived

229
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: at the estate, none dared to talk to him about Hartly,

230
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: since they were also afraid of what he might do.

231
00:15:55,040 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: Marg Byrom at least agreed eventually to talk. In six

232
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: weeks since Hartley had visited her, she claimed to have

233
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: been continually attacked by familiars of the Devil. Every night

234
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: around the hour of nine pm. The creatures, who invariably

235
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: took the form of a cat or a dog, took

236
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: it in turns to knock her down onto the floor,

237
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: leaving her unable to move until three am the following morning.

238
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes she would have an insatiable appetite, eating meat like

239
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: a starving wild animal, or she might just simply stiffen up,

240
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: being unable to move for hours. One day in February,

241
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: a terrifying invisible force took hold of her, yanking her

242
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: about the room as if she were about to be

243
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: torn into a hundred pieces. When it finally stopped, a

244
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: noxious black smoke that stunk of rotting flesh emerged from

245
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: her mouth. In their deliberations, the justices of the Piece

246
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: consulted all manner of texts on the matter, from Johann

247
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: Vyers de Prestigious Daimonum and Heinrich Kramer and Jakob Springer's

248
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: Malais Melificarum. However, despite the clear evidence to suggest that

249
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: the conjuror, Edmund Hartley had indeed brought something unsavory to

250
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: Kluworth Hall. The court were unable to find specific evidence

251
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: that he'd summoned the devil to do it, but then

252
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: Nicholas Starkey remembered a crucial detail. Back one night, while

253
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: the pair were traveling to Nicholas's father's home, Hartly had

254
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: taken him into a small wood. After walking for some

255
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 1: time in the dark, deeper and deeper into the trees,

256
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: Heartly suddenly stopped and began to mark a circle in

257
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 1: the dirt. Then he divided it into four parts and

258
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 1: filled it with crosses and other symbols, before turning to

259
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: Starkey and asking ominously for him to step inside it.

260
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: This was the evidence they needed, and after some further deliberations,

261
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: the court made up their mind Edmund Hartley was dabbling

262
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 1: in witchcraft and must be hung for his crimes. The

263
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: next day, Hartley was marched up to the gallows at

264
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,719
Speaker 1: Lancaster Castle in front of a baying crowd eager to

265
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: see the end of the man who had later become

266
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,959
Speaker 1: known as the Tilsley Witch. Hartley was then ordered to

267
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: stand on a large block of wood as the noose

268
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: was placed around his neck. Then the block was kicked

269
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: from beneath his feet, leaving him dangling for a moment,

270
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: clawing desperately at the rope, when suddenly it snapped, sending

271
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: him sprawling to the floor, choking and wretching, gasping for breath.

272
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: He turned to his accusers and repented for everything they

273
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 1: accused him off, begging them for mercy, promising never again

274
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: to participate in such diabolical activity. Unmoved, the justices beckoned

275
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: for a second rope to be brought, which was promptly

276
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: fixed to the scaffolding. The executioner then grabbed heartly and

277
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: marched him back on to the block, before placing the

278
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: noose once more around his neck. This time it did

279
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: not break back At Cleworth, despite Hartley's death, things only

280
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: continued to get worse, with Byram having since moved into

281
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: the property. Soon a seventh member of the household would

282
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: become effected by the apparent possession, not a child either,

283
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: but thirty year old maid Jane Ashton. With doctor d

284
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 1: unable to intervene directly, his butler made the suggestion to

285
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: Nicholas Starkey that he contact John Darrell and Pastor George Moore,

286
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: two ministers who'd helped to cure his young cousin of

287
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: a similar affliction. Having convinced d to write to the

288
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: pair personally, they reluctantly agreed to help. And so it

289
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: was in the evening of March sixteenth, just as dusk

290
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: was descending, that Darrel and Moore arrived at the vast

291
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: grounds of Clewworth Hall. Stealing themselves for what may be

292
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: about to come, the pair stepped warily out of their carriage. Then,

293
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: armed with little more than their trusty bibles, they ventured

294
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: forward into the house. Anna and Nicholas greeted the men

295
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: on arrival and quickly ushered them inside and up to

296
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: visit their children, both of whom appeared well, having apparently

297
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: been unmolested by Satan for at least four days. Afterwards,

298
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: Darrel and Moore joined the Starkeys in their dining hall

299
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: for dinner. Having just sat down to eat, Margaret and

300
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Hardman and Eleanor Holland appeared in the doorway. One

301
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: by one. They stepped slowly into the room and approached

302
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: the two ministers, announcing confidently that they had come of

303
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: their own free will. To welcome them into the house,

304
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: when their faces suddenly contorted into pained looks, and all

305
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: three of them were picked off their feet and flung

306
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: violently backwards. The ministers looked on with horror as the

307
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: girls screamed and writhed on the floor, their bodies appearing

308
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: to swell and bulge, as though something were trying to

309
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: push out of them. Then Margaret shot up and fixed

310
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: the men in a terrifying stare. Do they think they

311
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: can hang the devil? She hissed. They might have hanged dead,

312
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: but they could not hang the devil. It was no

313
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: marvel that the rope broke, for they were two head

314
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: and the devil. In the end, he who had so sweetly,

315
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: by his kisses, sent the devil, as so many had

316
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: by the just judgment of God, the devil sent into him. Then,

317
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: from somewhere deep in the house, the maid Jane Ashton

318
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 1: began to howl. With no time to waste, Darrel and

319
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: more ordered for Jane, Marge, Byron, and all the children

320
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: to be rounded up and placed in a chamber together. Then,

321
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: with Nicholas and Anne, as well as a number of

322
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: staff looking on, began to pray over the afflicted each

323
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: one writhing and howling at the utterance of every sanctified word.

324
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: Then a strange murmuring started up among the children that

325
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: steadily evolved into words Bible babble, Bible babble, prittle, prattle, prettle, prattle,

326
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: and soon their voices were beginning to rise, tormenting Darrel

327
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: and more with their ferocity, until the pair couldn't take

328
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: any more and retreated out of the room. When the

329
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: noise finally abated, they agreed to try again the following day.

330
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: I'm excited to share with you a brand new podcast

331
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: from Pineapple Street Studios called My Fugitive. Throughout the series,

332
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: host Nina Gilden CV works to answer a question that

333
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: haunted her family for decades. Whatever happened to Howard Mechanic.

334
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: Howard was a college student in Saint Louis when he

335
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: vanished after a riot left of federal building burnt to

336
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: the ground. Nina's dad was the civil rights attorney who

337
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: represented Howard. On her hunt for answers, she came across

338
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: a cold war spy rink, a conspiracy to assassinate a

339
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,719
Speaker 1: civil rights icon, black bag jobs against activists whose lives

340
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: were changed forever, and the government's attempts to cover it

341
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: all up. New episodes of My Fugitive are available every

342
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: week wherever you get your podcasts, but why wait binge

343
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 1: All episodes now exclusively on the new Ordyssey app. Ordyssey

Speaker 1: and sports that matter to you. That's Ordyssey au da Cy.

346
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: The next morning, having sent word out for reinforcements, around

347
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: thirty members of the local community gathered in the parlor

348
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: as the five children, Jane Ashton and Marge Byron were

349
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 1: brought out and each laid down on a couch, With

350
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: Darrel and more leading proceedings. The group chanted prayers solemnly together,

351
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: and before long the afflicted began to writhe and to

352
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: cry out in strange and disturbing ways, as others tried

353
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: their best to hold them down. A gasp went up

354
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 1: from the crowd when blood began to flow from John's

355
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: mouth and nostrils as his body flailed wildly. Then those

356
00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: words came again, whispered at first among the girls, before

357
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: increasing in volume. Bible babble, Bible babble, prittle, prattle, prettled prattle,

358
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: Bible babble, Bible babble, prittle, prattle, prittle, prattle. Darrell, in

359
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: turn spoke ever louder, urging the crowd to lift their

360
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: voices in unison as they cried out to God for mercy.

361
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: Then came a horrifying scream from Marge Byrom. It is coming,

362
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 1: she cried. Grabbing at her belly, she felt what she

363
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 1: described later as something rising up from inside her that

364
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: moved into her throat before emerging finally from her mouth.

365
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: It was a dark mist at first, before it quickly

366
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: transformed into a crow that flew off to the far

367
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: side at the parlor, where it perched and watched her

368
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: for a moment before shooting out the window in a

369
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 1: flash of fire. Byrom thumped back down on the couch

370
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: where she lay silent and still. Then something shifted in

371
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,719
Speaker 1: John to when suddenly, with his face now covered in blood,

372
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: he gave out a scream at the sight of what

373
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: he would later describe as a man with a large

374
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: bulge on his back and a look of utter darkness

375
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: on his face. Emerged from his mouth. The thing turned

376
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: for a moment and attempted to re enter him, before

377
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: finally vanishing out of the room. Then John too fell

378
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: back limp and silent. Convinced his son was dead, Nicholas ran,

379
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: distraught to his side and begged God to have mercy

380
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: and not to take another one from him. After what

381
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: seemed like hours, the boy finally began to stir, then

382
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: sat bolt upright with a look of bright contentment in

383
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: his eyes. And just then Margaret gave out a wild howl.

384
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: I am hot, I am too hot, she said, I

385
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: will not die. Then she lurched forward and vomited, and

386
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: all the other girls did the same. For Margaret, Anna,

387
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: and Elizabeth, it emerged in the shape of a white,

388
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: bearded thing with a bulge on its chest sticking out

389
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,959
Speaker 1: like a second head. For Eleanor, it was a small,

390
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: strangely shaped child in ragged clothes that scuttled away through

391
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: a small hole in the wall. It had also tried

392
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: to return, telling her he would break her neck and

393
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: cast her into a pit of fire if she didn't

394
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: let him climb back inside, but she resisted, and finally

395
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: it appeared they had all been delivered, all that is,

396
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: except for Jane Ashton. That night, terrified they might become

397
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 1: possessed again, the children hid under their bed sheets as

398
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: their local pastor father Dickens watched and prayed over them,

399
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: urging them to resist and come the morning, their ordeal

400
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 1: appeared to be over. For Jane Ashton, however, all was

401
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: not so well. On the second day, as many as

402
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: fifty locals were said to have joined Daryland Moore in

403
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: the parlor as they attempted once and for all to

404
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: be reared of the demonic spirits. With the children and

405
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 1: Byrom also present for precautionary measures, their efforts focused mainly

406
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: on Ashton. At the first sound of prayer, Ashton screamed

407
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: in pain as her body convulsed, then began to shake manically,

408
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: as if she were a rag doll caught in the

409
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: jaws of a large dog. Then finally, just after one pm,

410
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: she heaved forward, vomiting bile to the ground, then collapsed

411
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: in a heap, exhausted, claiming later to have seen a large,

412
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: bulbous toad escape her body. For the next few days,

413
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: the children and Byrom claimed they were approached again numerous

414
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: times by the devilish spirits, but each refused them re entry,

415
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: until finally they were left alone for good, with each

416
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: of them eventually being given a clean bill of health.

417
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: They were never bothered again by the spirits. Jane Ashton

418
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: was not so lucky. After leaving Cluworth, having apparently been cured,

419
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: it was said that she went to live with a

420
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: Catholic uncle, where her devilish symptoms once more reared their head.

421
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: She was eventually rounded up, and, having been given up

422
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: as a lost cause, was exhibited to the public, howling

423
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: and barking as a warning to all Catholics what might

424
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: perform them if they didn't convert to Protestantism. The following year,

425
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: John Darrell and George Moore were imprisoned by the Archbishop

426
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: of Canterbury for their involvement in the exorcism of a

427
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: man from Nottingham named William Summons. They were imprisoned again

428
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: the next year after being convicted of aught for what

429
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: many saw as their blasphemous practice. In sixteen hundred, they

430
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: publish their summary of all these events in their book

431
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: A True Narration of the Strange and Grievous Vexation by

432
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: the Devil of seven Persons in Lancashire and William Sommers

433
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,400
