Autumn, 17th-century England.

When parish constable Edwin Rook and his companion Jacob Mercer arrest Elspeth Blackwood for witchcraft, there is little question of her guilt. She confesses almost immediately, calmly admitting that she has called things from places no Christian man should ever look.

Their task should be simple: deliver her to the magistrates in the neighbouring town before dawn.

But the quickest route takes them along Poor Hole Lane — an abandoned road built beside forgotten Black Death burial pits and later used as the execution ground for three accused witches.

One was hanged.

One drowned.

One burned.

And all three were left beside the road as a warning.

As darkness falls and the autumn drizzle settles over the countryside, Edwin and Jacob discover that the dead have never truly left Poor Hole Lane.

And they appear determined to stop Elspeth reaching the other side.

The Pale Lady | The Haunted History Club

For the first time in its long history, the rooms of an ancient Tudor castle are opened for an exclusive overnight stay.

Five young influencers are invited to be the first guests. By morning, four of them are dead.

The only survivor is found outside the castle—barefoot, trembling and unable to speak. But scattered throughout the rooms are the cameras they left behind.

And those cameras recorded what happened during the night.

As darkness settles over Hever Castle, the group begins to realise that the woman haunting its corridors may not be the famous Tudor queen they expected to find.

Some names survive history.

Others are forgotten.

And one of them wants desperately to be remembered.
