Speaker 1: of the Guialing Brecon Beacons in Cumerie, under the shadow
Speaker 1: of Penny Fan to the south and the Black Mountains
Speaker 1: to the east, there sits a large stone house, long
Speaker 1: and narrow with its rickety roof and jumbled patchwork of brick.
Speaker 1: It lies at the intersection of two winding lanes, surrounded
Speaker 1: by a thick ring of oak alder and which elm
Speaker 1: hidden from prying eyes by the holly, the hawthorn, and
Speaker 1: the ash. From the front, ivy paurs greedily at its
Speaker 1: northern flanks, almost as if it were trying to drag
Speaker 1: it down and into the ground, while from the back
Speaker 1: the way the earth rises up into a rugged clearing
Speaker 1: of thick scrub. You'd be forgiven for thinking it was
Speaker 1: part way to succeeding. Its name is heel Fannock, or
Speaker 1: in English road to the Peaks, a reference to the
Speaker 1: hills and mountains that overshadow it. An entry point of sorts,
Speaker 1: or perhaps a gateway, as some might say. Constructed in
Speaker 1: the nineteen fifties, like a repurposed limb grafted onto the
Speaker 1: remnants of an old barn, it is comprised largely of
Speaker 1: stone taken from what was left at the old sixteenth
Speaker 1: century manor house, the lichen covered ruins of which can
Speaker 1: still be found hidden deeper amongst the trees at the
Speaker 1: very back of the garden. It is May nineteen eighty nine,
Speaker 1: and all is quiet save for the distant chatter of skylarks,
Speaker 1: while high above light tufts of cloud in the bright
Speaker 1: spring sky draw shadows across the roof. They drift lazily
Speaker 1: from front to back, east to west, slipping down onto
Speaker 1: the thick grass before heading into the trees and disappearing
Speaker 1: somewhere beyond. Inside, silence rains as dust mots float through
Speaker 1: soft beams of light. Spiders twitch in dark corners. The
Speaker 1: barn door creaks up above, a large crow comes to
Speaker 1: rest on the chimney, pop digging its beak into its
Speaker 1: feathers as it preens, when suddenly its head jerks up,
Speaker 1: the eyes alert to something rustling in the undergrowth. Moments later,
Speaker 1: something else, far more ominous is heard, the faint sound
Speaker 1: of an approaching vehicle. With a strained squawk, the crow
Speaker 1: spreads its iridescent wings and launches into the air, rising
Speaker 1: away and over the tree tops before it too disappears
Speaker 1: somewhere beyond. Back down below, he old fannock sits quiet
Speaker 1: and still as the sound of the engine draws ever nearer,
Speaker 1: until finally a car turns into the front drive and
Speaker 1: pulls up outside the house. Silence returns for the briefest
Speaker 1: of moments before the front door swing open and its
Speaker 1: excitable passengers spill out into the warm spring air you're
Speaker 1: listening to Unexplained and I'm Richard mc lean smith. Thirty
Speaker 1: year old Liz was first to exit, followed by her partner, Bill,
Speaker 1: thirteen years her senior, from the other side of the car,
Speaker 1: a big smile spreading across her face as she caught
Speaker 1: his eye. Fourteen year old Lawrence, Bill's son from a
Speaker 1: previous marriage, was the last to get out, slowly extricating
Speaker 1: himself from the back seat. Liz, her pregnancy bump just
Speaker 1: beginning to show above her waist, paused to take it
Speaker 1: all in as Bill and Lawrence set about unloading their things.
Speaker 1: It was even more beautiful than she remembered, She thought,
Speaker 1: the perfect place to raise their baby and begin afresh,
Speaker 1: free from the distractions of the past. For Bill, it
Speaker 1: was the sheer remoteness of the place and the large
Speaker 1: studio space above the barn that had first appealed. A
Speaker 1: gifted and renowned artist of predominantly surrealist pop art pieces,
Speaker 1: Bill had become increasingly frustrated with how much his time
Speaker 1: was being taken up with his more commercial endeavors, creating
Speaker 1: decorative boxes and other pieces for the casual consumer. He
Speaker 1: old Fannock he hoped would be a chance to rediscover
Speaker 1: the true artist inside him. For most in similar circumstances,
Speaker 1: it is easy to become distracted by the excitement of
Speaker 1: a move, to become wrapped up in the accompanying sense
Speaker 1: of optimism it often brings. It is also easy, when
Speaker 1: in such a state, not to notice things that at
Speaker 1: the time might otherwise have seemed a little off kilter.
Speaker 1: The receipt for six pound sixty six that Bill found
Speaker 1: shortly after moving in, taken from the last meal the
Speaker 1: couple eight before arriving at the house, for example, or
Speaker 1: the sixty six pound sixty grocery bill they would incur
Speaker 1: shortly after. There were certainly no signs of anything untoward
Speaker 1: that first summer, as the family settled into their new lives,
Speaker 1: bringing a whole host of life to join them in
Speaker 1: their new adventure, from cats to goats and even a
Speaker 1: pig named loose Cinder, and with a steady run of
Speaker 1: orders for Bill's work coming in, it wasn't long before
Speaker 1: he was finally able to dedicate some time to his
Speaker 1: more personal and fulfilling work. By September, Liz and Bill
Speaker 1: were married, and the following month, as if to top
Speaker 1: it all off, her waters broke despite some initial complications.
Speaker 1: Come November, the couple welcomed new arrival, Ben into their
Speaker 1: dream home. Life, as they say, couldn't have been more sweet.
Speaker 1: But all that was about to change. It was one
Speaker 1: afternoon in mid November when Liz stepped out of the
Speaker 1: house for some fresh air. As a sudden gust of
Speaker 1: wind rustled the leaves in the trees. She was struck
Speaker 1: for the first time by just how quiet it usually
Speaker 1: was out there, as if no birds ever seemed to
Speaker 1: alight in the garden. Perhaps it was just the drawing
Speaker 1: in of the nights, or how winter had stripped the
Speaker 1: leaves from some of the larger trees, leaving her and
Speaker 1: the house feeling a little more exposed than usual. But
Speaker 1: as Liz watched the pale sun drop below the horizon,
Speaker 1: sending majestic crepuscular rays shooting white gold across the sky,
Speaker 1: it wasn't a sense of wonder that she felt, but dread.
Speaker 1: Early one morning, with all the family laying fast asleep,
Speaker 1: Baby Ben begins to twitch in his cot, kicking out
Speaker 1: with both legs, with his hands squeezed up into little fists,
Speaker 1: and his face beginning to Redden and scrunch up. Finally,
Speaker 1: his mouth opens wide and he begin to cry. Liz,
Speaker 1: having woken instantly, switched on the light and gathered Ben
Speaker 1: from the cot as she prepared to feed him. A
Speaker 1: weary Bill pulled back the covers and headed toward the
Speaker 1: toilet downstairs. He had just started to pee when an
Speaker 1: unexpected noise startled him, a loud, hammering sound that seemed
Speaker 1: to be moving along the corridor above like heavy footsteps.
Speaker 1: Bill froze as the apparent footsteps near the top of
Speaker 1: the stairs before coming to a sudden stop. Assuming it
Speaker 1: to be his son, Lawrence, Bill headed back upstairs, only
Speaker 1: to find the corridor completely empty and Lawrence's bedroom door
Speaker 1: now closed. He switched off the light and returned to
Speaker 1: his own bedroom, where he found Liz quietly placing Ben
Speaker 1: back into his cot. Bill asked if she'd heard anything too,
Speaker 1: but to his surprise, she hadn't heard a think. He
Speaker 1: poked his head back into the hall, switched on the light,
Speaker 1: and stood watch for a moment, keeping his eyes trained
Speaker 1: on the studio door at the far end. Hearing and
Speaker 1: seeing nothing, he switched off the light and returned to bed.
Speaker 1: The following morning, Bill and Liz were stunned to receive
Speaker 1: an exorbitant electricity bill from SWALEC, the South Wales Electricity Board,
Speaker 1: which was almost four times what they had been expecting.
Speaker 1: That afternoon, as she sat down on the bed to
Speaker 1: feed bed, Liz couldn't stop thinking about the extortionate invoice
Speaker 1: and what Bill had said the previous night that he'd
Speaker 1: heard something moving about the house. Although it was true
Speaker 1: that she hadn't heard anything herself, there was something that
Speaker 1: she hadn't mentioned that recently in her private moments, she
Speaker 1: had begun to feel as though something was watching her.
Speaker 1: Just then, the studio door at the far end of
Speaker 1: the house slammed shut with a bank, startling Liz. Momentarily
Speaker 1: thinking it was nothing, she returned to feeding her baby
Speaker 1: when a second closer door slammed shut, startling her again.
Speaker 1: It must be Lawrence, she thought with annoyance. With her
Speaker 1: eyes now trained on her own door, Liz jumped again
Speaker 1: when the sound of a third door being slammed was heard,
Speaker 1: this time leaving her utterly frozen in fear, for although
Speaker 1: the noise seemed to have come from inside her own room,
Speaker 1: the door hadn't moved an inch. Bill, who had heard
Speaker 1: the bangs from downstairs. Burst in moments later to find
Speaker 1: a scared and confused Liz struggling to comprehend what had
Speaker 1: just happened. Convinced it had something to do with Lawrence,
Speaker 1: she demanded that Bill tell him to pack it in,
Speaker 1: but Bill didn't understand Lawrence hadn't been home for over
Speaker 1: an hour. Bill called the electricity board at the first
Speaker 1: opportunity to dispute their invoice, eventually forcing them to send
Speaker 1: an electrician round to monitor the meeter. Unfortunately, they found
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with it, though they couldn't say exactly how
Speaker 1: the family were racking up such a large bill. Something
Speaker 1: in that house was draining the electricity one way or another.
Speaker 1: It was about the same time that Bill started noticing
Speaker 1: a foul smell emanating from somewhere in the kitchen, as
Speaker 1: if something putrid had been set on fire. A plumber
Speaker 1: was duly called to locate the source of it, but
Speaker 1: found nothing untoward. As winter reproached, life at the house
Speaker 1: superficially at least carried on as normal. However, though the
Speaker 1: couple had yet to acknowledge it to each other, both
Speaker 1: had the sense that something of the atmosphere in their
Speaker 1: home had recently shifted. A few days later, Bill received
Speaker 1: a disappointing phone call from a major client. They were
Speaker 1: terribly sorry, they said, but they would have to cancel
Speaker 1: their order. Conscious of the unwieldy electricity bill still hanging
Speaker 1: over their heads, Bill tried to remain up beat. After all,
Speaker 1: he still had another large order to fulfill. Later that afternoon,
Speaker 1: they canceled too. As the holiday season approached, Bill and Liz,
Speaker 1: with their newborn son and Lawrence, who they felt was
Speaker 1: becoming increasingly withdrawn, found themselves in the grip of a
Speaker 1: very domestic sense of uncertainty. For by now, Liz and
Speaker 1: Lawrence were noticing those footsteps too, and the occasional eruptions
Speaker 1: of the inexplicable putrid stench that continued to plague their home.
Speaker 1: But most of all, they couldn't escape that unmistakable, skin
Speaker 1: crawling sensation that something else was in there with them.

Speaker 1: their new home, not least for the benefit of Lawrence
Speaker 1: and their baby's son, Bill and Liz agreed to not
Speaker 1: let the disappointments of the last few months and the
Speaker 1: increasingly strange events get the better of them. It wouldn't
Speaker 1: be long, however, before they were being challenged again. Early
Speaker 1: in the new year, Liz entered the barn overjoyed to
Speaker 1: find their goat Lulu had given birth to two kids,
Speaker 1: but when she neared them, her excitement turned to horror.
Speaker 1: Though one kid seemed bright and healthy, the other lay
Speaker 1: completely still, its tiny glassy eyes fixed and rolled back
Speaker 1: into its head. The mother had crushed it with her
Speaker 1: hind legs shortly after it was born. Not long after that,
Speaker 1: Lucinda the pig was found brushing about the barn, screaming wildly.
Speaker 1: A few days later, she was diagnosed with a rare
Speaker 1: disease for which, towards no cure, the devastated family had
Speaker 1: no option but to have her put down. Liz tried
Speaker 1: her best not to overthink it at all, to put
Speaker 1: it down to unfortunate coincidence, but when Bill's orders started
Speaker 1: drying up too, she couldn't ignore it anymore. Picking up
Speaker 1: the phone one morning, she took a deep breath and
Speaker 1: died a few moments later, Bridget Buscombe, the previous resident
Speaker 1: of Hugh or Fannock, answered the corps. After introducing herself, Liz,
Speaker 1: cautious not to sound too odd, proceeded to ask Bridget
Speaker 1: about her time living in the house. She was disappointed, however,
Speaker 1: to learn that she had only fond memories of her
Speaker 1: experiences there, but as the pair were just saying there
Speaker 1: good byes, Liz sensed a slight pause from Bridget's end. Actually,
Speaker 1: she said, Finally, there was one thing, yes, replied Liz. Once,
Speaker 1: when she had been lying alone, reading in bed, with
Speaker 1: her husband away on business, she became aware of a
Speaker 1: very gentle creaking sound. Looking across to the other side
Speaker 1: of the room, she was astonished to see her antique
Speaker 1: spinning wheel slowly turning of its own accord. She had
Speaker 1: stared at it utterly perplexed for a number of seconds,
Speaker 1: before eventually rising from the bed and jamming it with
Speaker 1: a piece of paper. She knew it, thought Liz. They
Speaker 1: had hadn't been imagining it after all. As if in
Speaker 1: response to Liz's renewed conviction that something untoward was occurring
Speaker 1: in their home, the strange activity intensified, and in early
Speaker 1: March they finally agreed to seek help. A priest was
Speaker 1: found to bless the house, and although he didn't notice
Speaker 1: anything himself, the family were reassured by his lack of
Speaker 1: judgment and determination to help, and in the days that
Speaker 1: followed the house seemed lighter and more spacious than it
Speaker 1: had done in months. One morning, after Bill had driven
Speaker 1: into town to run some errands, Liz took Ben for
Speaker 1: a warp. When she returned for the first time she
Speaker 1: could remember, Liz felt pleased to see the house, smiling
Speaker 1: warmly at the sight of her husband in one of
Speaker 1: the top floor windows as she made her way up
Speaker 1: the driveway with Ben. But then her smile dropped. Bill's
Speaker 1: car was not in the driveway, meaning it wasn't her husband.
Speaker 1: Standing at the window. With her breath quickening, Liz forced
Speaker 1: herself to look up again. There staring back at her
Speaker 1: from inside the house was the gaunt face of an
Speaker 1: elderly woman she didn't recognize. A moment later it was gone.
Speaker 1: Left terrified at the recent turn of events, but unable
Speaker 1: to afford a move elsewhere, the couple turned their attention
Speaker 1: to the history of the local area in the hope
Speaker 1: that they might uncover something to help understand what seemed
Speaker 1: to be stalking their home. Soon after, a builder, responding
Speaker 1: to a hopeful article placed by Bill in the local paper,
Speaker 1: got in touch. There was something he thought the couple
Speaker 1: should know. The man, as he went on to explain,
Speaker 1: had helped build the house in the nineteen fifties. At
Speaker 1: some point during construction. He and his co workers were
Speaker 1: gathering stones from the ruins of the old manor House
Speaker 1: when they came across a set of old, smashed up
Speaker 1: headstones in amongst the rubble. Could it be? He wandered
Speaker 1: that the house had in fact been built on the
Speaker 1: site of the old manor houses burial ground. One afternoon
Speaker 1: in the spring of nineteen ninety, Bill was upstairs working
Speaker 1: in his studio when Liz, who was just finishing cleaning
Speaker 1: up in the kitchen, had the sudden urge to check
Speaker 1: on their baby. With a rising sense of panic, Liz
Speaker 1: hurried to the bedroom. Rushing through the door, she looked
Speaker 1: up in horror to find sitting in the chair opposite
Speaker 1: the crib the same elderly woman she had seen looking
Speaker 1: at her from the window. A second later, she was gone.
Speaker 1: The next morning, Bill woke in agony to find both
Speaker 1: his hands strangely dry, the skin red and cracking all
Speaker 1: over them. The sudden affliction left him unable to paint
Speaker 1: for weeks on end, But just as the increasingly oppressive
Speaker 1: atmosphere in the house was threatening to overcome them, the
Speaker 1: mood was lifted when the couple learned that Liz was
Speaker 1: pregnant again. The joyous revelation left them more determined than
Speaker 1: ever to find an end to the problems. Local spiritualist
Speaker 1: Ray Williams was recommended to the couple, having apparently succeeded
Speaker 1: in helping other parishioners in similar situations to themselves. Arriving
Speaker 1: one bright April morning along with two colleagues, he swiftly
Speaker 1: set about examining each room of the house for any
Speaker 1: sign of psychical disturbance. Within minutes, Williams was in no
Speaker 1: doubt that something dark had found its way into the property.
Speaker 1: A few days later, with Liz and the children staying
Speaker 1: at her mother's in the nearby village of Cowbridge, Bill
Speaker 1: arrived at the property to meet with the three men again.
Speaker 1: After letting them in, he waited in the kitchen as
Speaker 1: they carefully made their way around the house, blessing each room.
Speaker 1: A short time later, while Bill went through his mail,
Speaker 1: he heard a cry coming from the back of the house.
Speaker 1: Racing outside to investigate, he found one of the men
Speaker 1: doubled over in pain, claiming it had come on as
Speaker 1: soon as he approached the window to the downstairs bathroom.
Speaker 1: Returning to the house, the men made a bee line
Speaker 1: for the small area between the bottom of the stairs
Speaker 1: and the rest room downstairs. Convinced it was where the
Speaker 1: malicious activity was centering, Bill explained with amazement that indeed
Speaker 1: it was the exact spot where most of the strange
Speaker 1: events seemed to occur. With their investigation completed, the men
Speaker 1: relaid their findings to Bill, stating that they had felt
Speaker 1: the presence of four entities in total, three being an
Speaker 1: elderly woman and two young men, who they had now
Speaker 1: successfully banished from the house. However, there was one other,
Speaker 1: far darker and clearly not of this world. It was
Speaker 1: their opinion that, unlike the three other entities, it had
Speaker 1: not originated at the sight of the property, but had
Speaker 1: in fact arrived with Bill and may have been following
Speaker 1: him for the past twenty years. Later, in an effort
Speaker 1: to provide protection for the family, one of the men
Speaker 1: returned to construct a psychic wall of protection around the house.
Speaker 1: Finding a spot on the kitchen floor, he carefully outlined
Speaker 1: a pentacle with chalk, before placing incense at each point.
Speaker 1: As the perfumed smoke drifted and dispersed into the room. Quietly,
Speaker 1: he implored any spirit to vacate the property. Immediately twenty
Speaker 1: minutes later he was gone, leaving Bill alone to rack
Speaker 1: his brains for any reason as to why a malicious
Speaker 1: entity might have attached itself to him. And then it
Speaker 1: came to him, Alex Sanders. Back in his early twenties,
Speaker 1: when Bill was trying to make a name for himself
Speaker 1: as an aspiring artist in London, he was introduced to
Speaker 1: a man named Alex Sanders, the self styled King of
Speaker 1: the Witches. The controversial Sanders had at one time been
Speaker 1: a follower of renowned Wiccan practitioner Gerald Gardner, before splitting
Speaker 1: from his teachings to pursue his own interpretations of ceremonial magic.
Speaker 1: Having at one point been informed of Bill's ambitions, Sanders
Speaker 1: offered to initiate him into his coven in an effort
Speaker 1: to aid his development as an artist. With nothing to
Speaker 1: lose and curious to know more, Bill accepted his invitation. However,
Speaker 1: no sooner had Bill begun the series of initiation rituals
Speaker 1: than he had a change of heart and pulled out
Speaker 1: of it. Could it be? He wondered that his failure
Speaker 1: to complete the initiation had opened some kind of gateway
Speaker 1: allowing something unsavory to come through and attach itself to
Speaker 1: him either way. When the family moved back to the
Speaker 1: house that summer, they found that whatever the spiritualists had
Speaker 1: done appeared to have worked. Gone was the heavy, oppressive atmosphere,
Speaker 1: those strange noises and noxious smells. Despite the apparent cleansing
Speaker 1: of Yolfannock. However, Bill, growing increasingly worried about the impact
Speaker 1: it was all having on Lawrence, was unwilling to take
Speaker 1: any more chances. After consulting with his ex wife, it
Speaker 1: was arranged to have Lawrence to take a room at
Speaker 1: a nearby boarding house. Though Bill was relieved that his
Speaker 1: oldest son could now get on with life away from
Speaker 1: the Mayhem, it was a further hit to the family finances,
Speaker 1: as if things weren't complicated enough, a nationwide recession had
Speaker 1: all but done for his regular stream of income. In July,
Speaker 1: they were forced to sell the car, and, being unable
Speaker 1: to pay the phone bill, their line was cut off.
Speaker 1: With a number of friends and family having found it
Speaker 1: difficult to sympathize with their recent plight, having no experience
Speaker 1: of what it was they had been through, the family
Speaker 1: could scarcely have felt more isolated. That summer of nineteen ninety.
Speaker 1: The trees that surrounded the house seemed to loom higher
Speaker 1: than ever, the rising hills of the beacons taller and
Speaker 1: more foreboding, and it wasn't long before Bill and Liz
Speaker 1: were hearing those footsteps again. This concludes part one of
