Description

Exterior shot of house. Wendy Jones talks to Mrs Wakeland about the strange happenings in her home which include a feeling of cold, hearing footsteps and seeing a flying orange. We also see son Paul Wakeland carrying out chemistry experiments at home which have been affected by the ghost. Wendy Jones next visits the nearby Wirehill Woods which are said to be the site of black magic rituals. She talks to Pastor Leslie Perkins of the Assembly of God Church, who thinks that an evil spirit is in the home and believes that the happenings have come about because of the use of a Ouija Board by young people, including Mrs Wakeland's son. Finally medium Dora Stephens visits the home where she is put into a trance and described the family who had once occupied Shakespeare Farm, which was on the site now occupied by the estate.
