Hidden in the Warwickshire countryside lies the ancient village of Wootton Wawen — a place where history stretches back more than a thousand years… and where the past may not be entirely at rest.

We’ll also uncover a remarkable 1854 spirit rapping case reported in the Birmingham Journal, when villagers gathered to witness mysterious knocking sounds that baffled witnesses and investigators alike.
