The Ghosts of Borley

A paranormal investigation into the haunting of the infamous Borley Rectory and other chilling lore of England.

Built in 1863, the Gothic-style parish in the Essex village of Borley gained a nerve-jangling notoriety. Claims of apparitions, unexplained footsteps, and a phantom carriage that rode the grounds after dark, made the mansion as forbidding to locals as it was a draw to ghost hunters. Even after it was destroyed, the unexplainable terrors of what was known as “the most haunted house in England” continued.

Borley House is just one of the legends featured in this compendium of the supernatural phenomena occurring for centuries on the Essex/Suffolk border. Psychic investigator Wesley Downes also explores the mysterious “Sweeps Boy” of Dedham; the vanishing island off Manningtree; the ghosts of Thorington Hall and the White Hart Hotel in Nayland; the strange visitations in Capel St. Mary; and the restless spirit of Matthew Hopkins, the sadistic 17th century Witchfinder General who still haunt the countryside. And many more.

The Ghosts of Borley is part of The Paranormal, a series that resurrects rare titles, classic publications, and out-of-print texts, as well as publishes new supernatural and otherworldly ebooks for the digital age. The series includes a range of paranormal subjects from angels, fairies, and UFOs to near-death experiences, vampires, ghosts, and witchcraft.
