Tea and Grumpets

Demons have been with us since humanity chiselled our first words into the great stone tablets of the first civilisations. They have also been possessing human bodies and trying to take their souls for just as long. In this episode, Glen and Mike explore the often misunderstood world of exorcism. Two cases come under spotlight, one involving a nunnery in Loudun in 17th century France, and the other, the true case that inspired the film ‘The Exorcist'. As well as all this, there's a brief history of exorcism and the top ten films about demonic possession, all of this and more on this Halloween special …

Every village had one, the local woman present at the birth of every new arrival to the community. The wise and friendly healer who took away the locals' illnesses and complaints with a marvelous concoction of herbs and ingredients. Some called them witches, others called them healers, but most would agree that in today's viewpoint, we just know them as persecuted. Glen and Mike join together in part four of this Halloween special to discuss these ladies and gentlemen of yesteryear who were persecuted for only trying to help out their local community, or accused of something much darker when fearmongering kicked in.

They have been there with us since the dawn of time. Demons, some tricksters, some malevolent, but all out there with no intention of helping mankind.

“The air you're breathing right now is also the same air that once circulated through the respiratory system of Jesus over 2000 years ago, which probably makes you feel a bit spiritual, doesn't it? But unfortunately you're also breathing the same air that once circulated through the body of Jack the Ripper, which probably makes you feel a bit shit” ― Karl Wiggins, Wrong Planet - Searching for your Tribe, Warning: This podcast contains graphic descriptions of real-life murder victims. No offence or harm is intended towards the victims' or their families in our reading of the coroner's reports on each case. No other figure in the history of media killers has cast as much fear and terror as London's infamous Jack the Ripper. The Ripper, so-called because of a letter supposedly dubbing himself so, struck terror and murder into the heart of London's East End over 130 years ago. But how does a man whose frenzied, but short, reign of terror come to live on through the generations? Is it the fact the culprit was never found? Is it because he was the first serial killer publicised by London's hungry and growing media? We may never know, but what we do know is he was no myth. This monster was very real, and he left a trail of bloodied and dissected victims in his wake. This is our overview of Jack the Ripper.

in 1939, a simple parish rectory was destroyed by fire. Whilst the Gothic manor would go unnoticed by most of the world, it has built a legend as the most haunted house in England.
