A four‑hour immersive Dark History UK journey into witchcraft, Civil War trauma, and Britain’s only officially recorded battlefield haunting
⭐ EVENT DESCRIPTION
Coventry - the Murder House
Snitterfield - The Witch Village
A deeper dive into the life and death of a woman accused of storm‑raising sorcery. Explore the lanes where she was last seen and hear how Shakespeare’s family became entwined in the legend.
Barford - Spirits of the River Avon
Spend time at the riverbank where fishermen saw pale figures and Civil War soldiers swore faces stared up from beneath the surface. Hear the older, pre‑Christian river myths rarely told today.
The Fosse Way - Britain’s Road of the Dead
A longer exploration of one of Britain’s oldest roads. Learn about Roman frontier life, ancient burial customs, and the modern‑day sightings of a phantom rider who vanishes into the dark.
Radway - The Village That Bled
Walk the lanes where wounded soldiers crawled for shelter. Hear the stories of surgeons working by candlelight, horses heard at night, and footsteps in empty rooms.
Sun Rising Hill - The Battlefield in the Sky
A dramatic viewpoint stop. Hear the full account of villagers who saw soldiers marching in the air, drums and trumpets echoing from nowhere, and the King’s investigators who witnessed the same.
Edgehill Battlefield - The Ghost Army
The expanded, cinematic finale.
Musket fire with no source.
A drummer boy who never stops.
Soldiers still seen on the ridge.
The only battlefield haunting ever investigated, and confirmed, by the Crown.
