In this week's episode we follow a strange and unexpected unravelling of events as we look into the building of the former island dairy, now a snooker club located down the Val, in the heart of St Anne, the island's only town.

There is a French phrase we noted from our interview and wrote in the book, but did not include a translation, nor can I - clearly - pronounce it, so for the listeners, here is the quote: "Sainte Marie, Mere de Dieu, priez pour nous, pauvres pechurs, maintenant et a l'heure de notre mort" - or something like that. If you know what it means, please let us know, or if it does not mean anything and you can tell what you think it should have read also let us know.

In this week's episode we look at the curious tale a magus who allegedly visited the island many hundreds of years ago, and the location that bears his name. There is a tie-in here with the grimoire 'Le Petit Albert', a book known to have been in possession of the witches of the Channel Islands.

The most gruesome and dramatic of island relics is addressed here: a stone 'chair' out on a ruinous shoreline, to which clergymen were once bound in unholy sacrifice to some dark pagan godforms. And... its really really.

This episode is an essay that explore the enigmatic monolith.
