The events that build this narrative are factually and identifiably true. Not only can the unfolding horror be traced to source references, but it can also be pinpointed to series of exact positions within 3m² of the event location.
Uniquely, using a commonly available app (what3words), each element of narrative evidence corresponds to an alarmingly relevant, clickable, reference as the story unfolds:
///infinite.remembers.puzzles
The precise location of my bedroom at Heytesbury House. I am the stepson of George Sassoon who was the only child of Siegfried Sassoon and owner of the house. The story is driven by my direct experience of these horrific events that only ended in the almost complete destruction of the house by fire in 1996.
Based on a true story.
“I lived in the house from 1985, for ten years, experiencing much but saying little. Most of what I can discuss dates from this time, from anecdotal information provided by others, but principally from the archive material that I disinterred and other events which have been subsequently revealed.”
What is the reason for this website?
///movie.indicate.mainly
To present the evidence that underpins the narrative. The extraordinary and sometimes brutal history of a seemingly tranquil and insignificant English village and how a series of events combined, inexorably, to a terrifying revelation. Artificial intelligence has evolved and we have left the doorway wide open.

Haunted
…An evil creature in the twilight looping,
Flapped blindly in his face. Beating it off,
He screeched in terror, and straightway something clambered
Heavily from an oak, and dropped, bent double,
To shamble at him zigzag, squat and bestial.
Headlong he charges down the wood, and falls
With roaring brain–agony–the snap’t spark–
And blots of green and purple in his eyes.
Then the slow fingers groping on his neck,
And at his heart the strangling clasp of death.
Siegfried Sassoon
