The Witches of Angel’s Rise
Each year, the Midsomer village of Angel’s Rise hosts the annual Psychic Fayre in the vast and gothic Eddon Hall. Founded by the Saint-Stephens family in memory of their late daughter, the annual event attracts all manner of mediums, psychics and followers of the occult.
However, things have not always been easy for the Saint-Stephens family. Once tipped as a future Nobel Prize winner, Peter Saint-Stephens, has been left to depend on the Fayre as the family’s only source of income. His wife, Jeanie, as a devout Christian has long opposed the Fayre believing it attracts all manner of debauchery and tarnishes the memory of her daughter.
This year, the equilibrium of the spirit world is knocked off balance when strange happenings occur around Angel’s Rise. Jeanie unquestionably blames the local empaths, highly intuitive, these forces of nature are self-proclaimed witches who are said to conduct their rituals deep in the nearby Hades Caves. This legendary network of man-made caves was excavated in the 18th century to hide a secret society and today they do the same.
