The Haunting of Toby Jugg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Haunting of Toby Jugg is a 1948 psychological thriller novel on an occult theme by Dennis Wheatley, incorporating Wheatley's usual themes of satanic possession and madness, in what was at that time a fresh situation: a disabled British airman recovering from his experiences in the last stages of World War 2, in which he played a part in the bombardment of Germany, including Cologne.

It was produced as a drama by the BBC in 2006, as The Haunted Airman, and aired on BBC Four on 31st October, 2006, at 2200 GMT. The adaptation bore almost no resemblance to the novel, was poorly received and attacked for being overly politically correct. Robert Pattinson/ Toby is haunted by his many killings in the bomb attacks.
