The Curse of Devil’s Wood

Beneath the ancient boughs of Devil’s Wood in Tolleshunt Knights, where shadows twist and a bottomless pool glimmers with malevolent secrets, a forgotten evil stirs. In the 13th century, when the veil between worlds was gossamer-thin, this cursed grove hosted Satanic revels under the arch-fiend’s gaze, until a bold attempt to build a house on its edge unleashed a battle of faith and fury. Thomas Ford, a steadfast watchman with his loyal spey hounds, stood against the Devil himself, his courage tested over three fateful nights. Yet a single misspoken word invited doom, and the wood became a stage for a tragedy that birthed Barnhall and its haunted beam, a blackened relic scarred by Satan’s claws, whispering of a soul saved and a curse unbroken.
