In this world, there is real evil.

In the darkest shadows and in the most ordinary places.

These are the true stories of the innocent and the unimaginable.

Buried within an old English pub lies the dark secret of a brutal past.

When the staff tries to communicate with the dead, they unleash a powerful evil

they cannot control.

With the help of spiritual mediums, they dig deeper to solve a century-old

mystery, unaware their obsession for answers could end their lives.

Between the world we see and the things we fear, there are doors.

When they are opened, nightmares become reality.

In northeastern England, small villages dot the landscape of the Tyne River

Valley, separating long stretches of moors and ancient forests.

For thousands of years, this land has hidden countless dark secrets, while

other horrors lie near the surface, just waiting to be discovered.

For nearly 200 years, the Wee Chief pub has stood as a landmark in West Bolden,

England.

All right, guys, time to lock up.

In 2004, David Guy bought the Wee Chief and hired a new staff.

It used to be a great pub.

It used to be the best pub in Bolden.

The pub was boarded up for seven months.

Nobody wanted to take it on.

Since reopening, business has been good.

But David's staff has reported strange encounters in the past.

Camilla Moment is the manager.

I always got the feeling there was somebody watching us.

I've never been afraid, ever, until I worked in the Weed Chief.

Look at this.

Who did this?

Put a hand in me jelly?

I made this last night for the vodka shooters. The fridge doors opened too.

The kitchen was locked.

The fridge doors would be open.

Things would be moved.

And there was something different. You didn't know what to expect when you went

into the kitchen because there was always something different.

There it is again.

Tim is a bartender.

He's heard customers describe paranormal experiences.

At the Wheatsheaf.

Strange incidents seem to occur on a nightly basis.

You hear noises all the time.

Like, just footsteps. Bang, bang, bang.

There's no one here but us.

Well, just have a look.

Anybody up here?

Anybody in here?

David finds nothing upstairs.

Besides, even if it is haunted here, there's nothing to be scared of.

You never know.

Now that you mention it, how about a little game?

Hello?

What? Are you joking?

David shows them a Ouija board he's made.

We'll get to the bottom of this mystery.

A little bit of spiritual detective work.

I want to find out what's knocking around in me pub.

You go first.

It's not just me. We all have to put a hand on the glass, don't we?

All right.

Come on. No room for me. That's all right. I'll watch.

He's scared.

Is that it? You're scared? Scared of what? Paper and a couple of whiskey

glasses? Never mind. Six fingers is enough.

Now, that's what you had to ask.

Ask who's been stomping around upstairs.

All right.

Spirits, tell us.

Who is walking the halls of the old wheat sheaf pub?

Is there a spirit in the old wheat sheaf pub?

Just move it. I saw your head. I'm kidding. I'm not moving it.

G.

D.

T... Get a piece of paper and a pen and write this down.

Get... O...

U...

T... Get out.

Anybody out there?

The kitchen is closed. I checked the washrooms.

You want me to go check?

No.

Don't take your hands off the glass.

Who's climbing those steps? Who are you?

G. K.

I.

L.

L.

I.

O.

You.

Get out or I'll kill you.

That's it. I'm done.

I'm going home.

Look.

It's moving by itself.

H. E.

L-P-M-E. Help me?

Who are you? It was actually spelled out, please help me.

Just kept saying help me, help me. I'm trapped.

Who are you?

It's the ghost of a little girl.

When the customer met upstairs, the one who went into the kitchen and put a hand

in the jelly.

How do you know?

I just feel it.

I know.

I'm sure it's her.

The staff of the Wheatsheaf tries to continue with business as usual.

A few days later, David agrees to host a fundraiser.

Someone asked us to raise money for something.

Girls in the pub asked if we could have a psychic night.

Five pounds to get you a consultation with one of our fabulous psychics.

All proceeds go to the Children's Cancer Fund.

Right, huh? Oi, what's all this noise about?

Fab regular Martin Brown doesn't believe in psychos.

And I remember laughing and carrying on with my friends.

How stupid can they get, you know? That this is how daft it was.

Five pounds, thank you.

Thank you, love.

Right now.

Thank you, love.

Lana Grabinskas and Suzanne Hadwin.

are two spiritual mediums who donate their services to the cause.

Are you all right?

Suzanne senses a powerful, negative presence in the pub.

There's something not right in there.

As I first walked through the doors of the Weed Chief, I got an emotion of

anger.

Anger that I've never felt before in my life.

Excuse me. Are you taking readings?

Yes, of course.

Well, I'd like to know if Albert, he's my sweetie.

Once I started doing the readings, I tried to put these emotions into the

back of my mind.

I had no just cause why I was feeling this way.

I'll do my best to locate Albert.

OK.

You just have to be more open to the differences in people.

Would you mind excusing me for just a moment?

Sure.

A few hours later, Suzanne remains troubled by the anger she sensed when

she first entered the pub.

I just couldn't believe what I was seeing.

You could see right through her.

Please, he's coming!

I could see her fear in her eyes.

Who's coming?

Suzanne sees a vision of another time.

Nearly a century ago.

I could see the carpet.

And I could see this little bed.

Please, Mom. Can you help me? Please.

I think it was the first time in 100 years that she's ever communicated with

somebody. I felt overwhelmed by the trust that she had for me.

Are you still there?

The next minute, she was gone.

I was looking through a mirror at my own reflection.

Later that night, after the pub closes.

I hope you made a lot of money for the charity.

Do you know you've got a spirit upstairs?

I saw her.

In the hallway and then in the washroom.

Did you know that room used to be a bedroom?

When she told us about the little girl, I mean, that was so unreal.

I mean, it was only us who knew about that.

She says, do you mind us having a walk around the pub?

You're welcome to go explore if you want.

Intrigued, Suzanne decides to look again for the young girl.

I says, Joseph.

I knew him.

Don't ask me why I knew him, but I knew him.

Suzanne is bombarded by images from another time.

Nobody's going to hurt you.

Leave me alone!

No, no, no!

And I could see her little body going down to the cellar, squealing.

Screaming. She was only a port-offensive little soul.

Suzanne believes an evil spirit named Joseph lurks in the Wheatsheaf pub.

And they dragged the little girl down there.

She had a vision in which he harmed a young girl.

What did they do to her?

I don't know.

Something terrible, I fear.

Oh, my God.

It sounds like that girl, doesn't it?

Why I got so much of a fright... She spoke to us. ..was because that is what

we had picked up from the Ouija board.

You used a Ouija board?

Yeah. When David told me you used the Ouija board, I said to him, you're

letting evil... K-I-L-L.

..into this world.

Get rid of it.

Tear it apart.

It's an open door.

To what?

It creates a portal through which evil can come.

What are we going to do? We have to help her. I just wanted to help the little

girl to go on her way.

We gotta get rid of them.

We can't help the little girl until we get rid of Joseph.

If we get rid of him, I think they'll all leave.

All of them?

How many are there?

I don't know.

A few nights later, after closing.

Suzanne and Lana return, hoping to rescue the soul of the young girl.

They begin by cleansing the pub to protect the group from dangerous

spirits.

You neutralize the energies that... are within the room, you cleanse a heavy

atmosphere.

Suzanne must again locate the spirit of the young girl to help her move on.

Because you would not have let me make that connection to the little girl.

Suzanne believes that Joseph's spirit is concentrated in the basement.

She hopes the staff's presence will distract him and keep him there.

Suzanne uses salt to create a circle of protection.

Since ancient times, Various cultures have believed that circles mark the

boundary of a sacred area, keeping unwanted energies out. What makes you

think this Joseph is here?

Do you think he's here right now?

Yes.

He's here.

And your job is to keep him here.

Remember, stay inside the circle and don't come upstairs until I call you.

This is insane. This is totally insane.

This is your idea. My idea? You started with the Ouija board. It was just a

blasted game.

Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle.

Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray.

Suzanne and Lana begin to look for the spirit of the young girl

Suzanne starts

in the room that was once the young girl's bedroom I always use an

audio tape to capture sounds to capture any energies in the room

Think she's in here

Suzanne

hopes a doll will attract the young girl We mean

you no harm Lana is a psychic artist when she makes contact

with the spirit. She is able to create an image of it

As a psychic artist, you pick up on their feelings and experiences that

they've gone through. In her case, it was a sense of sorrow.

I'm not going to hurt you.

I just want to know what happened to you.

You're safe here with us. Step inside.

I knew in my mind that this was her name.

What a lovely name.

What are you frightened of?

What happened to you?

You knew he was around you. You didn't have to ask yourself that question.

You knew he was around you.

That's Joseph.

I got a vision of somebody putting her against the floor.

And she was terrified.

I was crying.

I was pleading them to stop it.

And they wouldn't.

They wouldn't stop.

Suzanne is now certain that Joseph killed Jessica.

Why was she condemned to death?

Why did they do it to her?

Jessica, where is your body?

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. My heart was aching for her.

I ran my fingers down the wall and I said, she's in the wall.

She's in the wall.

How long does she expect us to stay down here?

There's nothing...

What? Cam, you're outside the circle. I felt something. Cam, get back in the

circle.

Cam! Hold her down. Hold her down.

I couldn't control my legs. I couldn't lift my head up.

The pain in my head was horrendous. Are you all right? Cam?

Cam!

She was attacked.

For God's sakes, man, we don't know what happened.

Something touched me.

It touched my face.

There was no doubt in my mind that there was evil spirits or something evil

haunting the pub.

You'll be all right.

I know it's frightening. I couldn't breathe.

I felt like I was suffocating.

Suzanne believes that Kamala has been attacked by Joseph.

What? What is it?

Lana, would you get the tape recorder and lead me your drawings?

We've made contact.

Her name is Jessica.

She was murdered here.

They hid her body in the wall upstairs.

She's just a girl.

What could she possibly have done?

I think you'd better listen to this.

What is that?

Just listen.

I'm coming for you, Suzanne.

I'm going to kill you, Suzanne. I felt terrified.

Absolutely terrified.

But I knew I had to stand my ground.

And I had to show him no fear.

We've got no choice.

We're going to help the girl.

But what about what he said he would do?

No, we have to help her.

She's trapped in the spirit world. We must help her.

Watch my hand!

That knife.

David reluctantly agrees to let his staff search for the remains of the

young girl.

Look.

There's a brick wall in there.

Well, what'd you expect?

This blasted building must be several hundred years old.

My pup better be standing here when I get batting and mourning.

Let's take it easy, all right?

Look at this.

It's a fireplace.

This is it.

She's in there.

Let's keep digging.

They worked through the night.

I can't see anything.

What the hell have you done?

I wasn't happy at all. The place was a mess.

Total mess. It's here.

It's what I saw in my vision.

What's this?

All of a sudden somebody just reached in and pulled out a piece of concrete.

which contained some strands of hay.

And for a moment, everybody just stood in sort of shock horror.

It looks like a piece of bone.

When I held the remains of Jessica in my hand,

I felt like a

weight had been lifted.

I knew she was there.

We're almost there.

It's Jessica!

There's no one here.

Did you see that? What?

It was like a shadow, only it wasn't.

Are you alright?

He's here.

Sitting at the table.

With her second sight.

Suzanne sees what others cannot

Why

did you kill her?

What did you do with her?

Watching Suzanne confront Joseph was frightening

Why did you kill her?

Suzanne was shouting at something we couldn't see. What did you do to her?

Then I got visions of women handing over money.

It was a brothel.

He controlled a brothel.

And he hated women.

Women were nothing to him.

What did you do to her?

Why did you kill her?

What did you do to her?

Tell me, why did you kill her?

She got in my way.

And if you get in my way, you'll die too.

I couldn't back down.

Because if he knew my fear, he knew my weakness.

He knew he would get a hold of me then.

We don't have much time.

He's growing stronger.

What the hell have you done?

At a local library, Suzanne and a wheat sheaf bartender look for clues to

Joseph's identity.

I had to find out.

where Joseph's from.

Times and dates that linked him to this pub.

Find out what happened.

Hey, that's the pub.

In a book about Bolden's history, she discovers a photograph of a man who

looks like Joseph.

That's him?

Wow. See if there's more. Is it Elizabeth and me?

And in a photo of a Sunday school class.

Suzanne finds a young girl she believes is Jessica.

That's Jessica. That's Jessica. I felt successful that I came up with all the

evidence that was there.

The pub is peaceful for several days.

And even regular customers like Martin are unaware the place is haunted.

I've never heard anything about a bar being haunted.

It's a bit off the wall, to say the least.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Just a bit jumpy, I guess.

Where's Brian tonight?

Hello. Do you see that?

and it just flew off the bloody wall.

That could have killed you.

It could have crushed your skull.

Things weren't getting any better.

I knew there was going to be some sort of showdown.

A few hours later, at a house in a nearby town.

I'd had a vision.

I saw him, David, being pushed down the stairs.

Hello? David, is that you?

Yes, who is this?

Oh, thank God.

This is Lana. I was so worried about you.

I just had a premonition.

Do you know what time it is? Isn't it late for premonitions?

Listen, David, I'm not joking.

She asked us about me house. She says, David, I've had a vision that you're

going to have a nasty accident on your stairs.

And it's going to be Joseph that's going to push you.

And, I mean, Lana's never been to my house.

I see.

Well, thanks for the warning.

He was constantly threatening us.

Obviously I was a bit worried about it.

Energies were building up and things were getting worse for various people

working within the pub and we decided that we've got to sort of put this to

rest.

One night, Martin Brown wanders upstairs.

If you want to find her, look for the green paint.

Find her?

How do you know?

The little girl, she's buried behind

the green bricks.

But there's nothing here.

We've torn down the whole wall.

Oh, she's here.

And so is he.

I went cold.

I just froze.

The

girl

is mine!

Possession can come over you like a flick of a coin.

Don't let him leave. Don't let him leave the pub.

Lana makes a circle of salt around Martin to protect the staff. I still

don't understand why you're doing all this.

Joseph is inside you.

Who? Suzanne will attempt to draw Joseph out of Martin.

I knew I had a very, very dangerous battle ahead of me.

And this was a very evil force.

Joseph, I know you're in there.

When I address Martin as Joseph...

He just looked and glared at me.

I was terrified.

It just looked so evil.

I looked at Joseph and I said, it's just me and you now, Joseph.

Mark my words, you'll live to regret this.

The Archangel.

Your pathetic rituals will have no effect.

You will

leave

his body, and you will go where God commands you!

You filthy wench!

Then I got the visions of this woman being slaughtered

So

it all made sense

I knew she had seen something

And that's why it cost her a little life.

Suzanne believes she has guardian angels or spirit guides that protect and advise

her.

She will need them to draw Joseph from Martin's body, as well as a pendulum or

dowser.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray.

I ask my guides to pull his energy away from

Martin and push it right through my body into this crystal.

Joseph, I draw you into this dowser.

No, I won't go.

The pendulum moves faster. Suzanne steadily draws Joseph's energy into its

center.

The crystal started to spin and spin and spin and spin.

And I could feel the energies drawing closer towards the crystal.

Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Said, are you all right? She's had a terrible shock.

Is she gone?

Did it work?

I

know

nothing, absolutely nothing, of what went on.

When Suzanne finally...

remove Joseph.

It was a strange atmosphere because everybody was shocked at what had

happened to Martin, but it was a relief as well.

It was like you were possessed.

Were you scared?

The last thing I'll remember is going upstairs, going into that room and

seeing the fireplace, and then nothing.

Martin retains a mysterious awareness of the spirit that possessed him.

His name was Joseph.

He was a barman.

He had preyed on innocent families.

He actually made money out of prostitution.

How I knew these things, I do not know.

Kind of memories which aren't mine.

Now that Joseph is gone, Suzanne believes Jessica's spirit has finally

found peace.

It was

really strange but it was a lot lighter than what it had been.

You're not going to have whiskey. I can't believe it.

People start to laugh and joke again.

You really don't remember?

It was a very, very intense experience.

Which was basically going to stay with me for the rest of my life.

And it gave me an idea of what spirit is capable of.

I've been communicating with spirits since far back as I can remember.

I've never experienced anything like it in my life.

He could have took my life easily.

The click of his fingers.

I really admire Suzanne and Lorna for their dedication.

And I found it remarkable that they've, you know...

Faced an issue that not many of us understand, you know. Thank you so much

for all the work you've done.

Believe what you want.

At the end of the day, you've got to either believe or you don't.

It makes us think, well, there's more.

Because at one time I used to think, is there?

But now I know.

There is.

Good stuff.
