When you look at it there's nothing there: Dennis Foley

Near Chester Vale High School is some “bad ground”. Uncle Dennis Foley shows the site and describes how a couple of girls were killed there, he and his siblings would get sick if they went there. As a teenager he began to realise it was some kind of sacred ground, even though you can’t see anything, and kept away for his own good.

PLEASE NOTE

All the video recordings on this website were made at least a decade ago. Some are fifteen years old.

What the speakers say on camera was based on their own knowledge and researches at the time each video was made. Since then a great deal of information has come to hand which may make some of the information first recorded now outdated. Therefore please regard this website as a period piece presenting knowledge held and believed at the time of recording.
