The Village Vampire
This is based on a curious tale
of a family
who die in mysterious circumstances
at Shotesham in the early nineteenth century. Over 225 years and occasions a
handwritten household book of recipes was recorded.
Unfortunate household consisted of a father and his four young children.
(ghostly presence chanting "I'm going to kill you" creeps into house).
Several of the children fell ill with a mystery illness. The villagers believed that the father had a pact with the devil.
This led him to terrible distress.
