Oracle Paranormal

How would you like to step back in time and see if we can join the party?

Francis Dashwood was a bit of a rebel. One legend says that he impersonated the monarch, Charles XII, and that he made efforts to seduce Tsarina Anne whilst in Russia. Inspired by the brainchild of the Duke of Wharton, Dashwood had a vision for yet another club that made him famous – the Hellfire Club. Members included a sexually ambiguous cross-dressing French Spy, an eighteenth century necrophiliac ‘gentleman sadist’ and even Benjamin Franklin to name but a few.

The Hellfire Club would hold their meetings in the Inner Temple, sharing drunken toasts, contests of wits, and bawdy stories. The spirit of the club was firmly pagan and the gatherings often also included mock rituals and all manner of Bohemian indulgence. Given the anti-establishment, and literally underground nature of the club, accounts of occult and criminal happenings have sprung up over the years.
