This horrific and spine-chilling episode explores a mysterious and haunted inn called Treasure Holt, in Clacton on Sea in Essex...and the truly hideous acts that took place there.
It was here that a pious monk’s descent into the dark arts lead to unimaginable horrors. Lured by two malevolent innkeepers, the monk abandons his faith to worship the devil and commits heinous acts that may disturb you. Could this be the reason behind so much paranormal activity that has been reported at the property, ever since?
Join me as we uncover the sinister secrets of an inn where paranormal forces still linger, echoing the terrifying deeds of the past.
Prepare yourself for a journey into the macabre, eerie and shocking…where history and the supernatural collide!
Spend a night in The Haunted Inn with...
The Devil’s Disciple

NOTES:
This episode is based on the case notes from paranormal researcher W.H. Downes. It includes a reference to an evil, murderous 'witch' in the 17th Century. Please don't take this to mean that all witches are, therefore, 'evil' and 'murderous'...especially the viewers of my channel who are also witches. :) For more, check out 'The Terrible Treasure Holt Story' by WH Downes.
