Follow Sir Simon Marsden, the internationally
acclaimed photographer of the fantastic and
the supernatural, as he gathers fresh material
for his eighth book on the supernatural.
The Twilight Hour reveals the stories behind
the ill-fated castles and abandoned mausoleums,
secret graves and gardens, and of the mysterious
ruins and standing stones that have stood
vigil through the ages across the Irish countryside,
giving voices to the restless souls whose
presence is both legendary and documented;
the reckless child, the victim of a husband's
jealous rage, the family of violent, butchering
men, the simple housemaid who was terrified
to death, and now returns to terrify those
still living.
Director Jason Figgis joins Marsden as he
intrudes on this daunting realm, interacting
with tangible spirits who become almost visible
as their pasts are unveiled. Meanwhile actor
John Hurt adds to the macabre atmosphere with
readings of Edgar Allan Poe.
