Subscriber-only episode Robert Kirk was an Episcopalian priest, Gaelic scholar, and academic.  He was assigned to a church in Scotland, where he attempted to learn all he could about "nature spirits" from the locals.  Kirk died a strange and mysterious death and, in his belongings, a manuscript of unreliable stories was found.  Did this man trade his life for forbidden knowledge used to write a book?
