Hostage to the Devil

Having chatted with Emma in a previous episode, we decided to take her up on her invitation to the Rectory, and we thought we'd bring you along.
PODCAST HERE
Built-in 1775 as a Church of Ireland rectory, Sharon Rectory was the site of a gruesome double murder in 1797 when the United Irishmen ruthlessly murdered the Rev William Hamilton and his wife Sara Waller on the eve of the 1798 Rebellion. The ancient mansion is said to be haunted by lost souls and an evil spirit that gives the house a demonic presence. Sharon Rectory fell into disrepair following years of disuse but was bought by Vincent and Lisa Tully in the 1990s. The couple renovated the dilapidated property and moved in with their two daughters.
Thank you to Lisa, Emma and Victoria for their hospitality

Confronting the Scream of the Ancient Beast

Hostage to the Devil

11/02/23 • 46 min

We had regular visitor Robert Marro on the show talking about his ambitions to write a new book on his close friend Malachi Martin. Here is what he had to say:
"I was a very close friend of Malachi for the last decade of his life until his untimely death on July 27, 1999. Countless people have told me that since I was Malachi's confidante who knew and assisted Malachi Martin daily, I'm obligated to tell the story of this holy priest I was privileged to call my best friend and spiritual advisor.

I'm compelled to set the record straight due to widespread misinformation about him on the Internet, a vicious mixture of gossip, rumours, lies, and outright slander. The book's working title is "MALACHI MARTIN - A Holy Priest Against the Approaching Scream of the ANCIENT BEAST." Strictly speaking, it will be a non-fiction biographic memoir that won't shy away from addressing the more controversial issues that continue to plague Malachi Martin's legacy to this day unfairly."

The Haunting of Sharon Rectory

Hostage to the Devil

12/26/21 • 54 min

Marty talks to Emma Louise Tully about her book, The Haunting of Sharon Rectory, which is based on the author's 22-year diary of her paranormal experiences since moving into the property in the 1990s.
Emma shares intriguing insights into the eerie occurrences and the network of psychic supporters they have called on to help with their unconventional plight. She explains why this close-knit family is unprepared to leave their beautiful home.

Sharon Rectory is haunted by the lost souls of its former residents, who aren't prepared to go quietly either. 'The Blue Lady', one such ghost, is thought to be the murder victim of the original owner, Sara Waller. A dark, evil spirit also occupies the rectory. This powerful demonic presence plagues the family and wreaks havoc as its identity is gradually uncovered. Part historical/part modern-day true ghost story, the author writes of her family's terror and their physical and mental torment as they try to maintain some semblance of everyday life at Sharon Rectory. Not for the faint of heart, this absolute and honest memoir of life among the paranormal will have you completely hooked from the very beginning.
