About this episode
It began in a modest council house on East Drive, in the sleepy Yorkshire town of Pontefract. What followed would go down as one of the most aggressive and disturbing hauntings in British history. The Pritchard family reported levitating objects, phantom footsteps, and a sinister figure in a black cloak who appeared in hallways, bedrooms, and even photographs. With over 30 witnesses and years of documented events, this was no passing ghost story. Tonight, we dive into the chilling case of the Black Monk — the entity said to be tied to medieval executions and unholy ground.
