Widdershins was the eighty-eighth story in the Torchwood - Monthly Range by Big Finish Productions.
Publisher's summary
One night long ago, Iain tried to raise the Devil. He walked the wrong way round an ancient stone in the village graveyard. He didn't think anything would happen, not really.
But something did. Something far worse than the Devil came to Llandyth.
And now, many years later, Iain's trying to work out what really happened that night. Did Torchwood ruin his life?
Plot
At the suggestion of his doctor, Claudia, Iain records an audio diary with the help of his parents, Isla and Doug, to give himself a sense of control over a supposed alien encounter he believes that he experienced. He retells how he was obsessed with the supernatural when he was young and how he walked widdershins, i.e. anti-clockwise, around the Church of St Swithun and Llandyth Rock, a standing stone, to raise the Devil. The stone glowed and something filled the night sky, filling him with a sense of dread.
