The story
The Hell Fire Club Legends of Montpelier Hill
One famous motif has a mysterious guest drop a card, revealing a cloven foot. Other tellings add black cats, sacrifices, and a building damaged by supernatural fire.
Context matters
Belief, history & interpretation
The lodge and club history are real, but many sensational details are later folklore and tourism. Dated records should be separated from repeated Gothic motifs.
