For all their internet banter, and turgid bombast, David Farrant and Trystan Lewis Swale have far more in common than might at first be apparent. Neither actually believe in anything paranormal, metaphysical or spiritual; both are disturbingly beguiled by black magic and all things dark and sinister; both have a history of hoaxing (Farrant's infamous "ghost" publicity-stunt in 1970 that he turned into a "career" whilst having never once been in gainful employment throughout his entire life, and Swale's forays into fields to create "crop circles" which he later declared to be hoaxes perpetrated by others in order to claim credentials as a "professional sceptic"); and their attraction to the seedy, sordid and unsavoury side of human existence. No real need to expand on any of that.
After years of accommodating each others need to discuss things about which they know nothing in order to exploit topics the public show an interest in, and gain worthless self-publicity in the process, they finally met. It was the coming together of two damaged souls; a veritable match made in hell.
