The Wesley Poltergeist
Show Notes

Simon and Chris discuss the “Wesley Poltergeist” that plagued the family of John Wesley, the founder of Methodism at Epworth Rectory in Lincolnshire for over a year with an unusual variety of mysterious knockings and noises that the family blamed on “Old Jeffrey.” A thing like a rabbit and a headless badger also put in appearances. Was this a teenage girl’s prank? Or, yet another example of poltergeist activity arising in an unhappy family?
