Director Pat Holden stated that he 'embellished the story to make it fit it into a horror movie template'.

The incident was locally popular but 'largely unknown elsewhere' until Colin Wilson wrote a book about it in 1981 that gained notoriety among paranormal aficionados. The Pritchards' daughter, Diane, was supposedly dragged upstairs by her neck. According to Jean Pritchard's sister-in-law Renee Holden, alleged supernatural disturbances by a poltergeist given the nickname 'Fred' included 'throwing things around, freezing rooms down, creating water puddles and making noises'. Following the incident, the family remain in the house, though Sally never enters her bedroom again.Īccording to the filmmakers, the story is 'loosely' based on a claimed poltergeist haunting known as 'The Black Monk of Pontefract', said to have occurred in the home of Joe and Jean Pritchard at 30 East Drive, Pontefract, West Yorkshire. The young girl's spirit appears and confronts the evil monk's spirit, which is driven from the house. Sally then throws the young girl's locket into the electric heater, causing a fire. Len and Jenny try to save her but the spirit knocks them out. The family returns to normal life, but one night, the spirit returns and attacks Sally, attempting to hang her. They proceed with the exorcism at Len's house the spirit violently resists but Clifton manages to drive it out. After the incident, the monk was secretly tried, hanged, and buried in secrecy, in order to preserve the church's honour. He killed the young girl in the forest, as she was educated, and could have exposed his deeds by writing about it. Clifton agrees and explains that the monk, while alive, preyed on young, uneducated girls in the neighbourhood and cut off their tongues so that they could not expose him. He initially refuses, citing lack of permission from the church, but they blackmail him by showing photos of Clifton engaging in an illicit affair with his housekeeper, Mrs Blithe. Len and his friend, Brian ( Craig Parkinson), convince Father Clifton ( Gary Lewis) to perform an exorcism on their house. The specialist is able to make contact with the spirit but during the session, the group is attacked by it, and the specialist is unable to remove the spirits from their house. Sally's parents seek out the assistance of a paranormal specialist and a local priest. Sally's history teacher, Mr Price ( Martin Compston), learns that the family is haunted by the spirit of a young girl who was murdered in a forest, and informs Len.

In 1974, Len and Jenny Maynard ( Steven Waddington and Kate Ashfield) move into a new home in Yorkshire, where their 13-year-old daughter Sally is haunted by the ghost of a young girl and the demonic ghost of a monk. The film premiered at the Rotterdam International Film Festival. It was released in the UK on 13 September 2012.
