Wherein we learn the conclusion of Father Burroughs' visions and the grisly fate that befell his poor victims. And yet again we're left with more questions than answers as well another intriguing reappearance...
I have to say that there's a beautiful disjoint between the even, calm tone that is used to read this statement and the content thereof - helping give it an even more otherworldly feel as well as not knowing quite where you stand (i.e. are we looking at a measured, collected Hannibal Lecter-type or a frightened, panicked man caught up in strange things). This goes for a lot of the recordings, but really makes an impression here I think.

Totally with you Onerios, this was a great one to work on!
I was left at the end feeling like it was almost a bit of a cliff-hanger. Eerie, but with a sense that all isn't as it seems.
Also, as a side note, I almost couldn't listen to the ending of this one on my first pass through it. I actually had to take my headphones off and leave the room for a bit before finishing it up...

First return of Breekon & Hope, delivering the pale yellow stole.
I wonder if it's just a company that works with creepy things, like the Library that keeps being mentioned (the name of which escapes me). I don't think so, I imagine that B&K, where creepiness is king, have s single plot. I wonder if the coffin and the stole are linked in some way. That would be very cool if it was. Maybe whatever was in the coffin was the other assailant who actually killed the two students? Or maybe it's all some dark ritual to release, empower or even contain whatever's in the coffin. It certainly wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility for the sermon to be some dark pact, though it seemed like too much of a macabre version of a regular sermon. Maybe that was all imagined, and the only thing that really happened was the face-eating.
22nd Nov 1998 for the coffin case, 30th May 2011 for this one, that's 13 years of the coffin being passed around.
Anyway, conjecture over! Can't wait to hear about B&K, have it your way, some more!

I can't remember any of Benson & Hedges taglines as I'm too young for the hey day of ciggie ads but I remember the Jordan F1 team used to change their livery to Buzzin' Hornets in countries where tobacco sponsorship was banned. |

Haha! Damnit! I've no idea how my brain shortened Hope to 'K', just got excited by my own hilarious cleverness (and TMA, of course)

Episodes 1-18 brilliantly entertained me --- episodes 19 and 20 deeply unsettled me. Deeply. Yowza! I've actually had to stand back a bit before diving into the latest episode - but while I'm gathering my courage, I find I have some spare time to cast votes over at podcastawards.com  |

The Magnus Institute has good lawyers and a seriously vexed Head Archivist I'm thinking the Head Archivist lives on pure grump. However, he is showing surprising sympathy for his minion a couple of episodes later. |

I am not the sharpest tack in the corkboard... As soon as Father Burroughs said something along the lines of "I brought the sacrament to my lips. It didn't taste how I thought. I'm sure you can guess what it actually was," my knee-jerk thought was "Slate! Just like Bethany almost ate when they walked through the garden together! Wait... Oh. OH."
