The Black Magic Church
Has the devil claimed an abandoned Bedfordshire church for his own?
There's an abandoned church on a hill top at Clophill in Bedfordshire, that fuelled Nat's nightmares as a child. In today's episode she explores the history of this notorious church that the tabloid press labelled a "black magic church" back in the 1960s. This ruined church has associations with magic, ghosts, grave robbers, the devil, desecration and death. But are the newspaper stories and the local folklore true? And why was Nat so scared by the very thought of this church as a child? How do Nat's nightmares link to a very different kind of church in Biggleswade? All is revealed in this episode of Weird in the Wade.
