In the quiet Bedfordshire village of Clophill sits the ruins of a desecrated church that looks unassuming nowadays, but it has a terrifying past. In the 1960s and 70s, rumours of devil worship, black magic rituals, and grave desecration spiralled into a full-blown satanic panic that almost destroyed the village rector.But was it all just bored teenagers and mindless vandals tormenting the village of Clophill, or was something truly evil going on here?⚠️ This one is very dark, with some pretty graphic descriptions involving animals, as well as mentions of sexual assault and murder. If that’s not your thing, maybe give this one a miss.
