about

Written for a horror film that was shot but never edited due to a series of unfortunate events, the inspiration for The Garple Burn was actually a body that was discovered during a routine archaeological dig. The woman’s hastily wrapped corpse was dated to around 1200AD and her injuries were consistent with murder, almost certainly as a result of supernatural superstition within her community. Eventually she was reburied close by to allow the contstruction to go ahead.
