(2/2) Borley Rectory Ghosts

[starquant]

Sounds like a job for Zak.... from Ghost Adventures

[derek1969able]

just think if the rectory had survived, just imagine the tourists, no one would have had any peace there, even w.h.gregson, the last owner complained of this, maybe it had to burn down to end the story, so to speak.

[derek1969able]

i wish i could have seen the house, and had a look around inside.

[derek1969able]

megachapster. thats a very interesting thought, but think about this, the last owner w.h.gregson, he had the house insured for three times its value and then the fire, you work it out.....

[pelicanus11]

the ghost's of Borley rectory packed their bags and moved right across the road too the church :

[wassell1989]

am i the only one thinking why didnt ANY of thd priests go to their bishops or higher council instead of the fucking newspapers to try and give these lost souls peace....

[DrArku]

Excellent documentary. I'm suspecting that the ghosts had something to do with the fire.

[Svenkrone]

ohhh, three dislikes here,..... :-) !

[mrscls8]

I agree I wish it was standing also it would have been an awesome Paranormal Investigation, can you inmagine the EVP's that you could record. To many people have wittness to many things. I wish I would have meight Harry Price. He had so much Paranormal knowledge for the age.

[ktorca]

lsmx9 , there is ignorance, and there is stupid .. pick up a couple of books written in the UK. Can you not keep an open mind?

There are no crop circles, no ufos , no hauntings .. right>

[mtclaud]

@Frysgiri3009 wasn't a slam, strange makes the world interesting

[sugarbaby0180]

i have been a few times and seen and heard strange things

[littlemissymiley]

i live about twenty mins away from here and i have been here loads of times a few times there has been something weird happened its not all shit you have to come and see for yourself to really beleave in this x

[mtclaud]

@ismx9 an everyday bone finding?!?! what the hell does that mean, you brits are strange

[TrainmasterCurt]

@dolesponger Christians are the children of God

[MegaChapster]

I wonder if Harry Price started the fire that destroyed the rectory to try and prevent anybody from discrediting his findings.

[STEPHENWRAYSFORD33]

Anyone looking into this may read Harry Price's work. But Price was a known hoaxer & magican who was friends with Charles Dawson, who was behind the PiltdownMan hoax. Prior to Price's work there were no published accounts of hauntings there. The legend of the bricked-up nun came from a novel. Price's own reports showed the most popularized events were caused by Price. The report showed a light seen in one of the upper windows coincided with the reflected headlight of a scheduled train nearby.

[MrCoolgreek]

@STEPHENWRAYSFORD33

The legend of the bricked up nun actually stemmed from the rich history of the area around Borley. The Catholic Waldegrave family, who owned much of the land around the area and were Lords of the Manor of Borley for over 300 years, had a family tradition of daughters becoming nuns for several hundred years. The train light theory was disproven. The Rectory was isolated by a long line of huge trees. Secondly, the nearest tracks were over a mile away through thick woods.

[MrCoolgreek]

@STEPHENWRAYSFORD33

Harry Price was not a "known hoaxer". On the contrary, he was credited with accomplishing more for the field of psychical research than any of his peers.

There were no PUBLISHED accounts of hauntings, but there were reports of phenomena, long before Price was even born to long after he died.

[MrCoolgreek]

Oh, and for the reviewer who made the satanist/Freemason comment... that is ignorance of the highest magnitude. I'm a 4th generation Freemason (1 of 3 in my family ). The two have nothing to do with each other and are completely different.

[MrCoolgreek]

The Rectory is gone, but phenomena continues to occur both on the site and in the immediate area, including Borley Church. If anyone is interested I have a list of books I can post for further reading. Peter Underwood's newest book just came out called The Borley Rectory Companion. It includes newly discovered info about the Bull family, previous buildings on the site (like the Herringham Rectory) and who the phantom nun may really have been. Great Documentary!! When is it coming out on DVD???

[vikasbhardwaj007]

@dolesponger the lower order masons aren't but the higher order definetely are.

[vikasbhardwaj007]

i have been told that the rectory, prior to Harry Price's investigations, was an undercover masonic lodge where satanic rituals took place.

[TheMysteriousMrEmnus]

Useless, if interesting fact - that Charles Wintour bloke at the start is (or was) the father of Ana Wintour...the editor of Vogue magazine and argubly the most powerful woman in the fashion world!

Who knew Borley Rectory and Vogue could have a connection! lol

[YouSuckLemon]

they should just burn the house.. those spirits don`t want anyone there...

[Luigiloo]

@pronoobboy

You know too much. So zip it. You're ruining the stories. How's about you go there and see for yourself?

[Jm66100]

pebbles? bloody pebbles jesus christ!

[lsmx9]

yes but Americans always over react to everything, turning an everyday 'bone finding' into a film.

[RossTheHick]

All religious people nearly have to believe in ghosts...

[pronoobboy]

the pebble sound thing i have an explanation, the cooling of the cement that holds the church up is actually causing certain sound to be emitted by the contracting and expanding cement walls, the sounds and voices include chair dragging noises, marbles bouncing sounds and pebbles dropping on the floor. it's science actually...but only THAT portion...the other parts however i have no idea...AND I'M ONLY 15 ?! lol :P

[sagarcia66]

I think keep that old chuch becuz I hope someone can make movie about that true story that I like to see and hear of what is going on that place. I hope those people can contact the Hollywood and to talk about Borley Rectory place in new movie so that most people can understand what happen to them and why are they unrest. The ghost is still there on their time of energy to come out and needed help.

[me1648]

i say burn the church and rebuild it then if da ghost or ghosts are still there then just make a new church lol easy

[2k6lilsam92k6]

its usually not a building in general but a site (usually where there are people buried or where acts of murder or evil took place)

[mmedefarge]

In the States, if you find human remains in your house, you're supposed to call the police. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I've heard about people in Britain finding human remains in their houses and completely skipping the police in favor of calling a psychic.

[richieboi81]

As if the police care about an old skeleton, it could be 100 + years old!!

[mmedefarge]

It could be 100 y/o or not. Only a forensic pathologist can tell for sure. In the states, whenever human remains are found, the police get involved and the remains are assessed. Decomposition varies depending on the environment in which they were buried. The person responsible for the crime may still be alive & assessing the remains can close an old case even if the perp isn't. It can still bring closure to a family. (The unknown remains of Titanic victims were recently DNA assessed.)

[deepshadows86]

i can't believe kids were hanging out in that freaky place. i don't even believe in ghosts but you wouldn't catch me there

[TeddyAndy68]

They cant explain it so it's automaticaly some ghosts or something of the paranormal....not very scientific is it?

[kernowfem]

I always assumed that things which cant be explained were classed as paranormal...

I dont doubt that a lot of borley's phenomena was either exaggerated or beefed up a little, But after visiting the church, and the site of the old rectory i have to say theres a seriously strange atmosphere in the village....

[Aerien]

What is strange about it?

[kernowfem]

Firstly i would recommend you visit the village yourself and you may see what i mean.

I visited in january, and found the place to seem quite dark and brooding. No birds were singing, no one was around, but yet you felt like you were being watched (not by the village residents either!) The land surrounding the church felt almost claustrophobic, It just didnt seem like a happy place. Which for somewhere in such beautiful countryside seems odd.

It's just eerie...

[BonkersBonnieRed]

Whats that supose to mean?

[nrthdude1]

I'm glad the place burned down.

[kernowfem]

Are you mad!! i wish it was still standing, id love have have been able to investigate the place. too many neutral people witnesses so much phenomena for it to have been a complete hoax. i reckon there was something in that house..

[1gun1shot1kill]

@kernowfem you can go to the church it's haunted by the same ghosts

[1gun1shot1kill]

@kernowfem you can go to the church it's still haunted by the same ghosts it may be closed but the grounds are open

[oliverdkh]

@kernowfem LOL yeh i believe too! too many people said there was.

[FireVortex720]

@kernowfem if you build another house on that land, ghosts will haunt that house.

[1975kamrater]

She said there wasn`t a soul in the church.......I think there were many..lol

[drummerkid71]

ghosts are demons..... actual human souls rest I believe.

[sk8terdude771]

i have a ghosthunters team of my own

[emilytodd28]

Does anyone fancy getting together to visit the site, id like to, pity the house isn't there anymore. Its always interested me since I was a child.

[mabakiel666]

I always wanted to go there, and eventually did last year in the company of a sexy Essex bird. Didn't see no ghosts, though!

[leeford2]

who wants to ognerize a ghost hunt

[BonkersBonnieRed]

Yes, what part of Essex you from?

[leeford2]

hi im not from essex,,i live in mk, do you have any places in mind to visit,i really want experince a real ghost

[BonkersBonnieRed]

Milton Kings?

[leeford2]

would be good to oganise a ghost hunt,,i know kent is very haunted as well

[BonkersBonnieRed]

Well there are a few places. You want to come Essex? You drive?

[BonkersBonnieRed]

I got to visit the Amityville house, in Ocean Avenue New York last year. Well not inside it, but outside it. They have changed a few things about it, which is a shame because its lost its history kind of. But people live in it so you cannot go inside the house.

[GoddessFourWinds]

The story of the Amityville house was made up. This was released on the news a few years back. There was no haunting.

[BonkersBonnieRed]

I know it's complete rubbish, it was just some guy who went a bit bonkers. The thing that interests me about the house is the fact a family was murdered there, its such a dark house.

[GoddessFourWinds]

Yes. The murders were quite real. And the murderer said he was hearing voices. It's made me wonder if he was schizophrenic.

[BonkersBonnieRed]

I would say so, it was all in his head not the walls of the house. Put it this way if the house was posessed then surely the last three families who lived there since the lutz would of experienced something abnormal too. Defeo was mad and the Lutz were after money and fame.

[A310fan]

Nut houses are ram jam packed fu' with people who hear voices! Usually of Jesus or Elvis!

[GoddessFourWinds]

Lol!! I was talking about schizophrenics...and I'd never be so unkind as to say that about all Christians...

even if I am an atheist. XD

[Battymatty23]

ive been there many times, very eerie place , but theres now a camera on the barn next to the church with a big red light on it , spoils the mood really

[kernowfem]

i was there 3 weeks ago, but hell yeah, id be up for another visit. trouble is police patrol regularly through the village, and the owners of the tithe barn dont take too kindly to being woken up at 3 in the morning by screaming part time spook hunters lol. so best behaviour and gaggs might be a good idea!!!

[tvargan]

I don't think Harry Price ever actually "moved in" (as it says at the very end of part 1.) He rented the place, and hired his crew to spend nights there, either in pairs or in small groups (or on very rare occasions, alone.) I used to think they were ALL there at the same time! But no- Price and his team never actually LIVED in the house- they just spent nights there doing observations.

[emilytodd28]

You may be right there although I was lead to believe his whole family lived there for some time hence the reports on himself and his children reporting bumps in the night etc. I suppose it would be an ideal opportunity for publicity.

[princess2483]

how can ghosts haunt a church..a place where god is believed to reside?

[EryxUK]

Because ghosts are not unholy. They are spirits of the deceased, not demons.

[emilytodd28]

Well the problem is that apparently ghosts especially poltergeists have no respect for god and religion and therefore actually enjoy haunting areas know for religious activity.

[AidanLunn]

are ghosts scared of fire?

[emilytodd28]

I'd say they don't really in there after life have any experience of it as they don't feel what we feel. Sorry I sound like a geek now but hey!!!!!

[tiredboredandhungry]

thanks so much for uploading these!! been looking for clips of the programme for ages, where did you get hold of them?? scared the life out of me as a child and still kinda do.

[brandybuck1984]

Yeah me too! I was about 10 when this was on, so I had to go to be straight after watching it! I was petrified!!!!!

STB is currently been shown on the Paranormal Channel (sky ch 212) at the moment!!!

[callmewilson]

I saw STB was on that channel but I sadly don't get it on Virgin Media cable tv
