Description

Charles Witherspoon is in Magheradroll graveyard, just outside Ballynahinch in county Down. This isn’t just an ordinary old graveyard. It used to contain a watchtower, built to prevent graverobbers from breaking in and stealing bodies. This is a fascinating tale of gruesome criminal activity.  

Credits

An Ulster Television Production.
