ONE DARK NIGHT : Episode SIX Aleister

This is a true story but what kind of story is it? A murder cold case, a conspiracy involving the police or a paranormal happening?Two old friends, a TV scriptwriter, Graham Mitchell (Silent Witness) and an ex-BBC investigative journalist, Ian Muir-Cochrane (BBC File on 4) are in deepest Cornwall to find a remote cottage. It was here, that by all accounts, a ritual was conducted by a notorious satanist where a woman died. Although this happened decades ago, the cottage today is firmly on the map as a destination for paranormal investigators. What brings them from all over the country to this lonely and windswept moor? Graham was born and grew up in Cornwall and the mystery of what happened that night fascinates him. He has persuaded Ian to come down and help him investigate. As they begin to piece together who was there that night at the cottage, they discover an astonishing group of characters that influenced both artistic and political life in Britain. What brought them there and what were the events that led to a death and the creation of a modern-day myth?Although they have known each other for years, Graham and Ian have very different ways of getting to the truth which leads to tensions in their investigation.

He still clings to the hope that it may be possible to make contact with the dead.Over six episodes they begin to peel back the layers of fact and fiction and what begins to emerge is a story of horror, tragedy, love and the afterlife.
