Listen "Borley Rectory"
Episode Synopsis
The infamous haunting at Borley Rectory in Essex has fascinated ghost hunters and horror aficionados alike for over a century. But Borley isn't just a ghost story. It is the tale of betrayal, family and deception which turned a seemingly ordinary rectory building deep in the countryside into the site of intense psychic study. What is the truth of Borley? This week, Sam and I take a look at two different eras in the Borley timeline and ask ourselves how the simple stories told by the Bull children to pass the long Winter nights ended in a raging fire which destroyed their father's house.
