The Ghost and Mr. Wesley | The Parsonage Files Podcast What happens when the father of Methodism’s founder decides to pick a fight with a ghost? In 1716, Reverend Samuel Wesley shouted into the dark: “Thou deaf and dumb devil… come to me! I am a man!” The spirit answered. Doors slammed. Chains rattled. The family dog howled in fear. And the Wesley children—one of them the future John Wesley—grew up in the middle of one of England’s most famous hauntings. Was it a restless ghost? A poltergeist? Or something darker? In this episode, the Birk Twins take you inside the Epworth Rectory and the terrifying legend of Old Jeffrey. If you like ghosts, history, and the strange crossroads of faith and the paranormal—this one’s for you.
