Chloe Cavanagh, the 30-year-old owner of Spirit Rocks, a new crystal shop in Prudhoe, Northumberland, faced backlash from Reverend Daniel Freyhan, who accused her of “spreading evil” due to her Halloween decorations and skull-shaped crystals. Cavanagh, a spiritualist who believes in communicating with the dead, was taken aback by the vicar’s comments, which she deemed bullying. Despite the controversy, she received widespread community support and was nominated for a UK Small Business Award shortly after opening her shop. The Diocese of Newcastle has since contacted both parties regarding the incident.
