  So, where or when has it started, the mystery of Shugborough Hall. And I am not talking about the official mystery with solving ten letters code on Shepherds Monument. I am about the Secret - occult, demonic rituals which were conducted by Thomas Anson and were written about in my previous post  'The Dark side of Shugborough'  .
