Frightful

Tonight we continue our look at a supernatural mystery from 1977, tied to the brutal murder of a woman. After months of investigation it looked like the police would be unable to solve the crime.

And yet, a frightening series of paranormal events would occur in the wake of her death. A ghostly intervention, that might just allow the police to clear the case after all, and would lead to what became known as 'The Voice from the Grave Trial.'

I'm Peter Laws, and tonight on Frightful we conclude our headlong dive into the case of Teresita Basa: The Ghost Who Solved Her Own Murder.

We conclude our look at a horrendous case of ritual murder, committed by a Welsh teenager. He was convinced that by drinking the blood of an elderly woman, he would become a vampire. What exactly did he do that night, how was he caught, and more to the point...why would he believe that he could become a vampire.

I'm Peter Laws, and tonight on Frightful, we open the door to a sleepy, village, that found itself to be the hunting ground of The Vampire Killer of Wales, Matthew Hardman.

There is a small and quaint village in North Wales that is famous for having the longest place name in Britain. Believe it or not, it's called: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

The only reason I had heard of this village was because of this long name...until 2001, when Llanfair would become known for something much, much darker...a killing so steeped in gothic excess and supernatural ambition that the judge would call it incomprehensible...

I was walking through town one morning when I noticed lots of unspooled audio cassette tape tangled in the railings of a church. Curious, I turned to my friend and said - 'I guess it must be kids messing around.' He shook his head and said, in all seriousness: 'No, that'll be the witches - they record themselves saying curses against churches and wrap them around churches.'

Baffled, I asked him where he got the idea that 'the witches' were plotting against Christians...he pointed me to a book called 'From Witchcraft to Christ', which claimed to be a true story of a Christian woman who had once been an important leader in the shadowy world of the occult....

Was her story true? That'll be for you to decide, as we start this special two part Frightful, telling the story of "Doreen Irvine - Queen of the Black Witches?"

Four out of five Near Death Experiences (also known as NDE's) are usually positive. People see themselves drifting down a tunnel and they meet lost loved ones, and gain a sense of peace. However, one out of five NDE's are terrifying, where the person is plunged into frightening, disturbing landscapes, sometimes with bizarre malevolent creatures.

Tonight on Frightful, we explore the little discussed world of Negative Near Death Experiences and ask...could they be Glimpses of Hell itself?

Note: This episode contains some disturbing accounts of NDE's.
