Summary
"Borley Rectory, in Essex, built in 1863, should have been an ordinary Victorian clergyman's house. However, just a year after its construction, unexplained footsteps were heard within the house, and from 1900 until it burned down in 1939 numerous paranormal phenomena, including phantom coaches and shattering glass, were experienced. By 1929, when the house was investigated by the Daily Mirror and paranormal researcher Harry Price, it had become known as 'the most haunted house in England.' "--Book jacket.
