Borley

Borley

This is, of necessity perhaps (?) The most written about haunting.

Is it the only one with a published manual to its history, a sort of Borley encyclopedia?

It's fascinating as a story.

It's a kind of myth, and probably a lot of it has its origin in hoax 

And expansion. 

You only need to think about the numerous tv ghost hunting programs 

to know what i mean. Confabulation.

The story was exaggerated by Harry Price probably. 

I don't think he was as bad as he has been painted. In those days there were

Plenty of practitioners who weren't very honourable or honest

In how they approached the paranormal. 

Ada Goodrich-Freer was the worst, but Elliott O'Donell 

Appears to have made his name on confabulating stories,

How do you get to the truth if you can't rely on the authors to be sincere, 

and not make things up?

I'd take a lot of covincing of any medium being genuine.

I wouldn't give any credence to the ramblings coming out of a ouija board, 

For instance. A lot of nonsense in the Borley literature stems from that.

And its clear that Marianne Foyster made up a lot 

during her husband's peculiar period of tenure of the living.
