The Tedworth Drummer: Haunting or Hoax?

Certain cases loom large in the history of the supernatural, especially in relation to the investigation of the supernatural. The 20th century provided the likes of the Enfield Poltergeist. Even Willington Mill in the 19th century offered an earlier opportunity. Yet the Tedworth Drummer offered an opportunity to explore a haunting in the 17th century.

Our investigator was Joseph Glanvill, a Somerset vicar who juggled his religious belief in ghosts and witches with a passion for science. He defended the reality of the supernatural, and supported his defence with accounts of ghosts, witchcraft, and the devil. He even investigated such cases himself.

The Tedworth Drummer has become his most famous account…but what was it all about? Let’s find out in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
