That's the city

A very ancient site round three hot springs

It's well known that the Georgian architects

used occult principle to lay out the city

It's diameter deliberately matches that of Stonehenge

We discovered there's a hidden level under the streets

a secret from the past that they deliberately kept hidden

It has an occult significance

We will infect you

Half beast half man We will infect you

Half beast half man

Hi... I'm Andy... film student...

And this is footage I'm putting together of my Landlord's business –

Occult Angel.

Cool, This is Jack's house. I rent a room here...

he's rented it to students ever since his wife left him

Yeah well It started to change about a month ago... he's rented it to students ever since his wife left him

Yeah well It started to change about a month ago...

I just started getting more calls

OK... So last week when I went to a case with Jack I just started getting more calls

OK... So last week when I went to a case with Jack

but then... well this... OK... So last week when I went to a case with Jack

but then... well this...

So here I've had to disguise Mrs B.

That's what Jack wanted...

So this is what happened when we got inside.

Then sometimes a kind of cry.

Like a baby or something then sometimes a kind of cry.

Like a baby or something

Jack does this weird listening

no, no...

yeah, this feels more interesting

This is an older part of the house here... thicker walls

and the floor levels been raised...

This is weird... I don't like this.

That noise... is getting louder.

Turn it off!

It looks like a big chunk of plaster fell off.

And there's markings on it.

Something got hold of me

All I could see in my minds eye was the serpent

So this is a fetish.

And you can see this is the outline of the horned serpent

It's very unusual about the horned serpent

Not really sure what this symbol is or what it means It's very unusual about the horned serpent

Not really sure what this symbol is or what it means

and this looks like hair

and this could possibly be skin tissue and this looks like hair

and this could possibly be skin tissue

Lady who?

She says something killed her dog...

So, this is Lady O's

She was... well, a bit whoozy So, this is Lady O's

She was... well, a bit whoozy

Sorry. She has to touch things to help tune in.

That is Lola, she Jack's niece

and she's here to help Jack out

Ready?

This is definitely and older part of the cellar

older than the house above.

Something.

Hang on, I'm putting the night vision on

So what's happening?

This has been here for a long time.

See this arch has been filled in with breeze block

What do you think Lola?

Well, it's what I'm here for.

What's going on?

Lola!

Heuuurrrrrnnnnnn!

Get out! Heuuurrrrrnnnnnn!

Get out!

Lola! LOLA!

What was it?

No, no...

Be still! BE STILL!

It stank of meat.

We're in the workroom having a debrief... and Jack is worried.

Yeah good reason 'cos this is definitely getting worse.

It had a real... strength!

Explain what that means.

I... I couldn't stop it... It was using the doorway...

What?

But it's getting worse... and it's got something to do with this symbol.

So we checked out all the different symbols using snakes or serpents.

Yes well snakes serpents and dragons all get mixed up

and they can signify all sorts of things.

And Jack found this...

The horned serpent is uniquely associated with an ancient Celtic god

called Cernunnos

and the interesting bit is that...

Cernunnos, half stag, half man

is also known in Southern England as Herne.

Heuuurrrrrnnnnnn!

You think that was what she was saying?

Something spoke through her... and it really brutal and primeval

So, what's the significance?

I'm not sure

Yeah but you know about weirdy stuff like this.

Andy I'm getting really hacked off with your attitude

Why don't you just stop now

Sorry Jack... I was only...

Just Stop!

So Jack got a bit narked with me...

But he's had another call... and agreed for me to come along...

I'm gonna try and keep my mouth shut.

Sounds good to me.

That's the pub manager

We've agreed not to reveal his face or the name of the pub

It's usually in the evenings... when I'm cashing up... I sit at the desk.

Here?

Then the room will suddenly get cold... and then I feel it... usually on my back...

like a hand.

It's not a drought or anything like that... it's like a hand.

It's not a spirit... it's something else...

It's coming from there...

It's locked... I... I was told not to open it... but... I know where the key is...

Could you get it for us?

Hey can you feel that?

Yeah... It's gone really cold.

Go on...

Wow...

The horned serpent again.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

Who are these people? Get out!

Uh... I asked them

We haven't done anything!

And put that camera down.

Hey!

I told you not to open that door!

What was that all about?

Let's go... just go...

I'm a bit skeptical about this paranormal stuff...

but that bloke who burst in and told us to clear out, he was real enough...

So I went back later and talked to the pub manager

and he gave us some more information

turns out the guys name is Crouch and he's the pub owner

So... that's where Crouch's office is...

I hung around a bit earlier...

as far as I could tell he just rents one room...

Now I guess I just wait... stakeout!

Well this is boring.

That's Crouch!

OK, so um, this is it!

I bloody lost him!

Ah, there he is... locked on!

Hey, this is cool

This is weird. Suddenly all those seagulls went crazy

and started swirling about over Crouch.

And he keeps looking up at them

OK, he's going into the church

He's looking at the seagulls again

What's he doing?

He's crazy!

He's gone into the library...

There he is.

OK... Crouch has just gone out...

He's left his stuff on the desk

so I'm going to have a quick look

Shit, Crouch!

Crouch finished at the Library...

I was just thinking about giving up when he came out again...

OK. This is weird...

That's Lady O's house where we were the other day

Oh shit.

OK, I'm going to follow him

I can't see a bloody thing

What?

What's he doing?

He's looking at something

This is weird...

He's weird.

He's going to see me...

I had to get behind a car

...I knew he'd be looking...

And you know I've just thought of something...

Lady O's house... it's number thirty-one!

Think it's time I went and saw Jack.

Yes I knew about John Wood...

There are two of them father and son...

and I knew that they had an interest in the occult...

and I knew that they built the Circus and Royal Crescent

on occult principles

So who's the Thomas Jelly bloke?

He was another builder contemporary with Wood...

I don't know much about him...

seems he had an interest in the occult too

So what do we do now?

Uh... back to Lady Jo.

So here we are again.

Oi, I can't see the number, you're in the way

Lady Jo seemed quite keen to talk...

said she knew about Thomas Jelly.

So Crouch was kneeling by that stone

I need to get closer

A horned serpent... and the number '5'

What's it mean?

Ah!

What? Ah!

What?

The same thing!

What thing?

Shut up Andy

What thing?

Not now!

Lady O's family have owned this house since

since the old part was built by

by none other than Thomas Jelly in 1758

and so they have all the deeds and that kind of stuff

most of it is just plans and accounts...

but there is this letter...

OK... It's not clear who the letter is to but it's signed IM...

anyway it says...

Sir, following our investigation

I have been able to draw certain conclusions...

that there are six gates built by the monks of the abbey...

two I believe were damaged severely in an earthquake

that shook this city and much of England in 1275.

In deed I have found some evidence of manifestations at this time.

Moreover the gates seem to be holding since the works at St. Michaels

We also look to your support in regards to sealing the gate

below the church of St. James.

Sir, I implore your pardon for these occurrences

But it is only in the last year that

we have to realise the nature and extremity of our dark enemy.

So we were chewing over this letter

wondering what it meant by six gates

when Lady Jo said

Have you looked at the plan on the other piece of paper?

And this is what we found

with the horned serpent again!

And then Jack saw a pattern with the horned serpent again!

And then Jack saw a pattern

I mean these are the six gates... but they're not city gates...

one... don't know, but two would be St. Michael's chapel,

three is St. Jame's church...

Four is the pub... it had the four

Five is here at Lady O's...

and then six would be St. Michael's on Walcot Street!

So what are these gates for?

So we have this rough plan which schematically shows the six gates.

Now the fact that there are two churches dedicated to St. Michael's

interesting especially as he was famous for slaying serpents.

So the two St. Michael churches are where we're heading next

I love this spot... The history that is here...

You have to imagine that two thousand years ago this was a steaming swamp

A sacred site for the Celts... then the Roman's turned up and built their temple

collecting the hot springs into sacred pools... or Roman Baths.

There are three hot springs

Up there is the main one and the site of the Roman Temple...

The second one is over there

See the spring is underneath this building...

and right beside it... is a chapel dedicated to St. Michael.

St. Michael the destroyer of serpents...

perhaps pagan serpents

associated with a significant heathen spring.

Anyway, let's take a look inside the church

So... it's a little bland in here now

Obviously nothing left of the earlier chapel that stood here

Lola, anything?

Nothing.

We carried on to the next St. Michael's

So we've just come down Upper Borough walls there

and now we're standing at the site of the medieval North Gate

and outside would have been fields with a church

and a small thatched roof.

This St Michael's was a disappointment as well.

The Victorians had completely rebuilt it

We found nothing inside the churches...

so we thought we'd have a scan round to see if we can find gate one

We checked the obelisk in Queen's square. Nothing.

We carried on scanning round... and then I realised

Hey... wait up... This is where Crouch's office is!

Now, we think Crouch's office maybe

over or near Gate number one.

OK, we were just wondering what to do when Crouch came out.

Um, he didn't see us...

But we thought maybe we should have a snoop around.

So we've come down to the basement

to meet Jim the security guard

do you mind if Lola has a listen for a minute?

Be my guest.

What do you think Lola?

That's where the gate is... in that room, it must be...

OK... so we just got back to Jack's and we found this.

What's it mean?

I would say someone is trying to scare us...

So who wrote the bloody message?

Crouch, has to be.

Or some one working with him.

He may not be working alone... we don't know that.

Do you think he really was threatening us?

Maybe we should call the police?

No... But it shows Crouch or someone knows where we are.

We'd better be careful... keep an eye out.

Jack has just received this message.

OK... We're on our way to Crouch's office to meet Jim.

Turns out that not only did Crouch lay into Jim for letting us have a snoop round

but he also went into his basement room and

about half an hour later Jim heard this weird animal yell.

Said it freaked him out...

and then Crouch sort of stumbled out of the room and ran outside...

So Jim wants some explanations.

That serious?

Yes... that serious.

Hang on, putting the night vision on

Wow! Look at this Andy

This is old!

Listen!

Sounds like running water.

Can you feel the air?... It's warm.

It smells of rotten meat.

I can't smell it.

Andy, look...

Gate One, Conduit to Stanton Drew

Compton Dando, King's Circus

Draconis Extinctor...

It's something do with a dragon... or serpent. Destroying the serpent.

What is that?

It's coming.

What?

It's coming!

Come on we've got to go!

What is that?

COME ON!

I just... I've got to see

Come on we've got to go now!

Come on move it!

What was that all about?

I don't know

but it's really powerful, we just got to stay away until we know how to deal with it!

Wha?

And don't tell Jim, OK?

Why not?

Just do as I tell you and turn that bloody camera off!

So we're just going over stuff, starting with Gate One.

Look... I know you don't experience this like we do

but there was something in that tunnel that was more...

threatening than anything I've ever experienced in my life

You mean a spirit?

Yes... but... it wasn't just one spirit...

It was different

It was really malevolent

And this is what the gate is for...

to keep this thing locked up?

Yeah... but it's been there since the Eighteenth century... or even before...

Look Andy...

Maybe we should look at what was written on the tablet

I've got it typed up here

It's implying that Gate One...

is at the end of some line that begins at Stanton Drew.

Stanton Drew is a huge stone circle just west of Bath

I've been there lots of times. It's huge but somehow hardly known...

Compton Dando is a village halfway between.

There used to be a statue embedded in the wall of the church

which was taken from the altar in the Roman temple...

right by the hot spring here in Bath. Nobody knows how or why...

The royal circus we know was built by Wood, father and son

and it's diameter deliberately matches that of stonehenge.

It has an occult significance supposedly signifying the sun...

Look at these, all round the circus, deliberately placed by Wood.

Maybe Woods and Thomas Jelly knew about the six gates

and whatever is locked behind it

So, we didn't find anything, but on the way back

Jack wanted to explore a place we'd seen near Compton Dando

It's called Fairy Hill

Close by something called Drakes Well

He said he had a feeling about it

Turned out he was right

What are we looking for Jack?

I'm not sure. Maybe a spring...

Just heard a weird sound

Like an animal... but weird

We're a bit nervous to be honest

Did you hear the noise?

Weird!

Seen this Andy? It's the spring

There! Bloody Hell! Freaky!

Shit!

What the hell was that?

Now St James is destroyed he will escape!... and you...

will be marked!

What do you mean? Who will escape?

Ha! You don't know?

Just keep away

There's only one way to deal with this! Keep away!

What the hell?

He was pretty angry... but he was scared too.

OK. so Crouch said a couple of key things.

Now that St. James is destroyed he will escape...

So this is St. Jame's church

a big full on church right in the middle of Bath and then...

OK... this is where St. James church used to be...

but it was demolished in the nineteen fifties and now...

the site is being built over

St James... founded by King Alfred the Great...

rebuilt by Thomas Jelly... now it's gone.

There's been a burial ground here since medieval times...

underneath this building site

All gone.

Now St James is destroyed he will escape and you... will be MARKED!

I've just been editing...

and I heard a sound from downstairs like a girl screaming...

but I'm the only one here... Jack and Lola have gone out.

So I'm just going to have a look downstairs to see if anyone's there

There!

Lola?

This is bloody weird.

Bloody light's gone.

Lola, are you there?

No!... that was... that was real...

Shit!

It's really freaking me out

What was that?

There's something out there

Oh my God!

Don't know what went on there...

I must admit I was scared...

But if I don't believe in ghosts... then what am I scared of?

It's like, it can't hurt me...

But... I was scared...

the thought of a dead person's spirit...

kind of messes with your mind a bit...

It's like... trying to get into my mind...

like a kind of madness

like a kind of madness

Madness

The spirit really scared Jack.

I'm getting worried because the... influence is spreading...

and getting more powerful.

And both Lola and I have the same feeling of foreboding

We think it's blood

There's no way of telling what or who it can get to...

You will be marked!

So, it's getting to us... and Jack's had enough...

we're going to find Crouch and talk to him.

OK... so we wanted to go and see Crouch we're going to find Crouch and talk to him.

OK... so we wanted to go and see Crouch

but he wasn't there, the receptionist said

then we asked to see Jim the security guard but he's off sick...

So... I'm going to break into Crouch's store room and go through the gate.

I need to find out what's there

Andy's agreed to come with me...

But Lola's going to stay outside. I can't afford to risk Lola again.

So Lola's going to watch out if the receptionist goes to the loo or something

OK, it's clear

alright?

If this goes wrong... get out as quick as you can... understand?

Ready?

Just this bolt holding it...

Oh, it's stiff

Herne... the god... no... It goes on for miles!

What was that?

OK? Let's get moving

Andy, come on... keep up

This is weird

I don't like this

You alright? I think there is something up ahead

There's a staircase going up

just there...

Oh no...

Herne... the god... no...

What... in there?

Do we open it?

The lids moving

I can smell it now... rotten meat.

What do we do?

They're coming down the stairs

Quick go back down the corridor a bit.

Come on!

Muttered incantations echoing.

Shit... that was...

Oh my god

Oh my god that was something...

This is bad

Shhh... he's just ahead...

Something bad happened back there...

There's something wrong...

Careful, we're near the gate

It's open

Yeah, it's clear

He's still moving

Did someone just come past?

Yes... Mr. Crouch

Has he gone outside?

Yes... what's going on?

Crouch just came out... He's over there!

Crouch!... He looks bloody weird...

Crouch! Wait!

Crouch... you alright? What happened?

Jack!

You alright?

Andy get back... it's dangerous!

That not Crouch.

What do you mean it's not Crouch?

It's taken him.

Let it go… let it go…

So Jack... the big question... What went on back there?

Well... We found a chamber

with a sarcophagus in it with... Herne on it.

Crouch cam in and did some kind of ritual...

then something came out of the sarcophagus and took hold of Crouch...

That wasn't Crouch

It had the same hatred inside it

So what do we do?

Be on our guard... whatever happened...

So it's been six weeks

there's no sign of Crouch

His office is closed, phone is dead... there's no trace of him

So we were thinking... that it might all have gone away...

But... Then this happened...

Somebody pushed it through the letterbox.

So we don't know...

whatever that was... inside Crouch...

It's out there. It's out there somewhere.

We uncovered an occult mystery in the city of Bath

The Entity, the Demon has broken free

It's been over a year since we filmed any of the Occult Angel stuff

and really I haven't had much to do with it...

for various reasons –

I moved out of Jack's house,

Um... Lola left...

and... also it scared me.

So Andy has finished university and has got a pretty good graphics job

but I've asked him to film again…

to explain how there's been a significant change.

First off I had to get out of my house because we received what was a threat...

But since then we received this...

You see, this letter is different – not threatening like the last one

more like a clue.

So I checked out this ELA organisation

and couldn't find anything at all

until last week when I realised...

So I'm here at Lacock

which is national trust building about fifteen miles outside of Bath

Originally a 13th century monastery...

and guess who founded it...

So there you are E. L. A... Ela.

You can see that Lacock is on a line

A conduit…

A conduit… which leads to gate 5.

Just like the Stanton Drew Conduit leads to gate 1…

So nearby we found this.

Come and have a film up here Andy.

Oh!

Listen!

That sound again.

The Herne entity is near here...

I can feel it... it's the same uh...

What is that?

You are marked!

Wait a minute... turn it off

We have no idea who that figure was…

but it felt like we were being checked out.

And then over the following seasons…

always at Beltane and Samain…

we received more instructions.

Again they are like riddles.

Showing the connections with the Occult Gates.

Gate Four, Stonehenge ravaged

Marden destroyed by our enemies

Marsden was a massive henge

But most of it was destroyed in the Eighteenth Century.

And we found the signs

Clee is a beautiful, mysterious hill. South East of Bath.

Gate Two, St Michael's to St. Michael's

The conduit of the Tor is closed

This must be the famous Glastonbury Tor

The Saint Michael's link is clear.

Gate 6. To the North are the Hwicce.

There was a kingdom to the North of Bath.

The land of the Hwicce. The people of witchcraft.

We felt we were being told to keep away.

The conduit at Horningsham remains.

This place is south of Bath… high on a hill

The Durotrigan Giant is our guardian.

I knew exactly what this meant...

The Cerne Abbas giant.

This ancient carving is in the heart of the land of the Durotriges.

A Celtic tribe.

The name links it with Cernunnos or Herne.

So, we visit each site… And there is always a symbol or a sign…

like we're being lead towards something…

A conduit showing the connection with the occult gates

This last communication talks of pilgrimage…

and that's what it felt like

A beautiful pilgrimage across the pagan landscape of South West England.

But a pilgrimage has to lead somewhere…

When we got back from Cerne Abbas

this was on my computer.

Pilgrim. You have followed our riddles

and you desire more.

But, you cannot intervene without consequences.

Consider this before you choose.

We are the Nemeton... The dark enemy

We have revealed ourselves.

You have seen the demon

You saw it attack... and devour

Will you be chosen?

Or will you enter the path of sacrifice?

Tread carefully pilgrim.

Well, I realise we are playing with fire here…

Maybe we should just walk away and forget it...

But I can't... I can't stop now!

Andy is … upset by this. You know he's not happy…

but he's going to stick with me… Yeah?

Yeah...

OK, we'll lets just see what happens.

Madness...

Like a kind of madness...

Madness

When Herne takes your breath

Madness will crawl through your soul

Andy are you OK?

You're scaring me…

You don't… seem the same.

Maybe you should get some help…

Andy… this is, serious…

Mr. Roberts. You have chosen.

We will infect you.

You will serve us.

So it's been a few years since Andy made the videos, a long time…

and there's… been quite a bit of bad stuff

Especially for Andy. He's not been well.

I've been trying to keep my head down…

But over this period of time I've been receiving communications…

I don't know who they're from

The letters never say anything clear.

Until this last one arrived, and it said this.

So a man rang, I don't know who, just a voice…

and gave us a location

So we're going there now.

I don't … I'm scared. But we need to know... so...

OK. we are here at the location.

All I can say is that we're near the Cerne giant in Dorset

Look at all those Rooks!

They're like an alarm… like sentinels.

Come on!

Looks like we're expected

Look... Look! Over there...

OK, this is it...

Careful...

There's another one.

They're all around us.

I don't like this… it doesn't feel safe…

Ok… We'll go in.

You alright Andy?

To be chosen, or sacrificed.

Mr Andy Roberts was chosen…

And as our loyal servant...

he procured Mr. Jack Angel for sacrifice.

You violated my sanctuary.

This is a warning for all who try to find us.

You have been traced

you are marked.

Look behind you...

Look behind you. Death is at your shoulder.
