In 1965 the authorities drew back the veil on the unwholesome events that took place on the Fullen reserve. Five bodies were discovered in the first day, the prime suspect was the heir to one of Britain’s largest fortunes, a man who didn’t say a word from the time he was arrested until he was found dead in his cell. There has been much speculation about what really happened, talk of experiments and occult ritual but the facts about what happened on the island have been scarce and contradictory, until now. The tale you are about to be told goes back nearly a century and the events that brought it into the open are only one short part of the terrible whole. It is a tale that goes to the heart of what it means to be human and ultimately demonstrates that there are some truths that should not be known, some questions that should not be asked and some answers that should be forbidden.
