Summary

Part One – Happenings Numerous high-profile cases of alleged hauntings have originated from the British Isles, from the poltergeist activity and demonic possession at Enfield to the unsettling apparitions witnessed at Borley Rectory. But perhaps the most terrifying of these tales is also the least well-known. The story of a family terrorised by an evil presence whilst residing in a remote Welsh mountain farmhouse. This week, we explore the curse of Heol Fanog. Part Two – The Entities In part one, we examined the story of Bill and Liz Rich, whose lives were turned upside down by supernatural activity after moving into a remote Welsh farmhouse. Having suffered years of torment, the unexpected arrival of a spiritualist seemed to herald an end to their suffering. But as they would soon discover, their battle was only just beginning.
