A terrifying paranormal mystery unfolds in St. Osyth in Essex, which is home to what some have claimed, is the British equivalent of the Amityville Horror house. The Cage is a former witch prison, but when Vanessa Mitchell purchased the property in 2005, she encountered a horrific series of supernatural events. Are you ready to climb inside...THE CAGE?

For more on this case, read John Fraser's book: Poltergeist! A New Investigation Into Destructive Haunting: Including 'The Cage Witches Prison' St Osyth https://www.amazon.co.uk/Poltergeist...
