Rosslyn Chapel is a (supposedly) mysterious church in Scotland, made famous by the "Da Vinci Code" franchise. It plays a role in various "positive" conspiracy theories about Templars, Jesus bloodlines, the discovery of America (sic), and so on.
However, I noticed that our favorite crazy Irishman Thomas Sheridan has a very different take on the place. He considers it *evil* in an almost Keelian sense, and speculates that the Sinclair family (the builders and owners of the chapel) are virtual Satanists. Perhaps they were Templar heretics who had a jinn from underneath Salomo´s Temple in their possession, and brought it to Scotland when fleeing the persecutions in France? The jinn (or dybbuk - a demonic being from Jewish folklore) was then imprisoned in the crypt of the Rosslyn Chapel.
Sheridan even speculates that the demon is really Jehovah himself, and it´s not clear whether it really is "imprisoned", since it feeds on the energy of unsuspecting tourists visiting the place (and perhaps war victims too). But what´s the purpose of the exercise? Sheridan believes that the Rosslyn Chapel was built to liberate the souls of departed members of the Sinclair family from purgatory or even hell, where they invariably ended up because of some unmentionable family curse. In order to open the gates of Hell, a pact with the Devil is necessary, and the dybbuk is presumably the intermediary in this bizarre transaction...
To me, this sounds like paranoia, frankly, but then, I never visited the place, so who knows?
