BORLEY RECTORY: ENGLAND'S MOST HAUNTED HOUSE

  BORLEY RECTORY: ENGLAND'S MOST HAUNTED HOUSE

Borley Rectory was built in 1863. As its name suggests, it was the residence of the Borley Village rector. It is often said to have been the most haunted house in England because of the spooky events that began taking place there in the early 1900s. People noticed strange smells, the sound of horses, ghostly shadows and areas of the house becoming particularly cold. And a chilling fact is that someone or something actually tried to communicate with one of the occupants in 1930. Marianne Foyster, the wife of the rector at that time, found strange scrawled messages, asking for help, appearing on the walls of the house. Who wrote them? Was it the spirit of a murdered nun apparently buried under the house? Well, no one really knows. Though the rectory was demolished in 1944, its legacy continues, and the site is believed to be one of the scariest places in England.
