EP77 The Magic Circle and the Spirit from Hell: A man of God is accused of summoning demons in the Welsh forest. Has the Reverend made a pact with the Devil? - Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast

A man of God is accused by his fellow reverends of making a pact
with the Devil in return for supernatural powers.

According to the tale, he would sneak off into the forest and
summon evil spirits in a magic circle, and on one fateful night
of conjuring it backfired on him and his co-conspirators. 


Is there any truth to this tale of a holy man turning to the dark
side and committing the ultimate sin? And if so, what powers did
he receive in return?


Join author Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales) as he explores this
diabolical case on the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast... if
you dare!
