The Haunting of Widow's Leap Farm
The Haunting of Widow's Leap Farm | Victoria Theatre Halifax | Sunday 8 November 2026
A Tale from Paradise Heights
From the award winning The Haunting of Blaine Manor
Written & Directed by Joe O'Byrne
Something killed Leanne Tully. An ancient evil as old as the cliffs; it’s in the air, the sea, the soil. Leanne is back, and the Devil is loose in Paradise Heights.
Paradise Heights is a sea side town where superstition clings like salt to the skin. When Leanne Tully is found broken at the base of the Widow’s Leap cliffs, the community offers a swift conclusion: another troubled soul gone to the sea. But Pearl Tully — the sharp-eyed medium (last seen in The Bench: A Tale from Paradise Heights) knows better. Her daughter didn’t jump. She was murdered.
With the police having buried the case as a suicide, Pearl seeks an unlikely ally: Phil Mackey, a disgraced and half-broken former detective (last seen in Diane’s Deli: A Tale from Paradise Heights) now holed up in a rusting caravan on Widow’s Leap Farm overlooking the very cliffs where Leanne died.
What begins as a reluctant favour becomes a descent into a nightmare. Mackey uncovers whispers linking Leanne’s death to several unexplained, grotesque incidents in the town — deaths that make no earthly sense.
Leanne had been courting forces far beyond the comfort of her mother’s occult practices. Obsessed with witchcraft and Paradise Heights’ bloody history, she was drawn to a lonely field on the farm atop Widow’s Leap — the same place sixteenth-century witches were hurled screaming to their deaths.
Leanne’s final legacy: a series of audio tapes in which she claims to commune with a witch from that age, Fleur Manderlay.But something else is on the tapes, something dark, malevolent, haunting her.
