Borley Rectory
Unexplained footsteps, apparitions, the appearance of phantom coaches and human skulls, poltergeist, and other terrifying occurrences have been reported at the site of the Borley Rectory over the years. The spooky Victorian mansion, considered the most haunted house in England by many, was home to several rectors (and their families) from 1862, until a fire in the late 1930s. The wife of one clergyman, Marianne Foyster, claimed to be the target of spirits during the family’s stay there, but the stories were disputed once it was discovered she was having an affair with one of the rectory’s lodgers. Even after the home was demolished in 1944, reports of ghosts continued. The hauntings at the Borley Rectory are still investigated to this day.
