Malign Frequencies - Further Transmissions from Horsingdon, No.118: The Priory Hill Hanging Trees

Priory Hill. A low rise not far from Hallowmere Road, and once the site of a medieval cloister housing a rather peculiar and insular religious order.

In 1763, the line of trees atop the Hill was used to hang five witches, all of who claimed sorority with the Horsingdon Coven. The region’s witchlore holds that the revenants of the five executed beldams continue to haunt the locale, such that on certain nights their wan, spectral forms can be spied hanging silently from the branches of the ancient trees - five dead white faces staring with a horrid, mindless intensity from without the ghostly nooses which ended their corporeal existence.
