Description
The Haunting of Borley Rectory: The Story of a Ghost Story By Sean O'Connor In 1928, Eric and Mabel Smith took over Borley Rectory, a lonely parish in Essex. Their decision would lead to a series of bizarre events, including the discovery of a human skull in a cupboard. This gruesome find sparked a wave of paranormal activity that would make the house notorious as the 'most haunted' in England. As the haunting intensified, Reverend Lionel Foyster and his wife Marianne moved in, only to experience an increase in poltergeist activity. The situation was further complicated by ancient superstition and deep-rooted prejudice in the village. Harry Price, a self-made 'psychic detective', investigated the case, recording evidence from over 200 witnesses and 2,000 supernatural incidents. Sean O'Connor brings this chilling tale to life as an allegory for an age fraught with anxiety, haunted by the shadow of the Great War and terrified of the apocalypse to come.
