Episode 4
A brutal killing in 1974 shattered the quiet town of Ossett and left investigators confronting one of Britain's most unsettling possession claims. In the hours before the violence, ministers believed they were fighting unseen forces inside a small church, pushing Michael Taylor through a "deliverance" that spiraled far beyond their control. What followed fractured the thin line between faith and reality, sending a frightened community scrambling for answers. In this episode, we unravel the ignored signs, the clergy's fraught involvement, and the aftermath that cast a long shadow over Ossett. Was something unearthly taking hold... or did conviction give shape to the terror everyone feared? ***Listener Discretion is Strongly Advised*******************Sources:Michael Taylor (British killer) — Wikipedia.The Devil Within (Wondery) — Podcast series on the Michael Taylor case.All That’s Interesting — “The Exorcism of Michael Taylor.”The Times Archive (1975) — Court and inquest reporting.Harmes, M., The Church Sinister / Brill article.Audioboom Transcripts & Retrospectives — Includes Rev.
