The Most Haunted Place In England

My son who is 10 years old got me interested in Ghost Hunting and where to start but with the father of modern Ghost Hunting. The book was informative and interesting. I found myself not being able to put it down and gave me a few ideas in the Ghost Hunting aspect.

The Best Book in the world!

I love this book, I had to order it for my library! Well Worth the money! Very Interesting read.

Incredible Amazing Ghostly TourDeForce...!!

Still..How much is really true!? First of all, this must be the absolute #1 Ghost/Paranormal Investigation of all time! Written in very "good spirits", humor, and British wry wit, it's the rare book that you'll without question read to the end!! Featuring a ghostly headless horseman,nun, carriages, unexplained flying household objects, eerie noises, wine turning into ink, locking of doors,mysterious written messages, etc. this must be the original "ghostbusters" story, and the author is surely one heck of a writer and paranormal investigator...Oddly, just about all the characters involved seem a bit unruffled by these bizarre unexplained activities, but that could be the famed stiff upper lip amusement of the Brits...Really a super impressive book, but not completely convincing, though I admit I'm a skeptic in any case. Possible "human" explanations could be dreams, wish fulfillment, human error, weather changes,wind (noises) faulty/shaky building construction, certain participants "playing games" on the others, an ill woman often unaccountable during these curious goings on, superstitions, faulty sensory perception (like seeing pictures in clouds), even the financial motivation to write a book, though Mr. Price is surely a terrific, thorough writer!..This book may give you the creeps,but my simple advice is to buy it here (used), and you will be amazed. Let you the reader decide...This book has even made me rethink a few things, though I remain essentially a skeptic...

Most terrifying book I have ever read...

This book was responsible for keeping me up many a night. This story puts the "Blair Witch Project" to shame, in its accurate and frightening depiction of the events and history of the Borley Rectory. If you read one ghost story in your life, make this one it.

My mother lived there.

The official watershed on Borley Rectory. My mother lived there as Marianne Foyster. Elaborates Foyster phenomena, including excerpts from Lionel's writings. It was during the Foyster incumbancy that Price alleged over 2,000 paranormal evnets took place. They stayed for five years: 1930-35. Concludes there were too many happenings for all of them to be attributed to natural causes. Cites hundreds of witnesses, many prior to the incumbancy of the Foyster's.
