The Ghosts of Borley: Annals of the Haunted Rectory (Ghost Guides) - Softcover
Synopsis
This is a classic account of a mystery that over the decades hascontinued to fascinate anyone with serious interest in psychicalresearch, 'ghost hunting' and the paranormal in general.
'The Ghosts of Borley' (1973) was the first complete record of theunique Borley Rectory hauntings, detailing all the evidence known aboutthis notorious haunted house from the early days of the Rev. H. D. E.Bull who built Borley Rectory in 1863, through the incumbencies of theRev. Harry Bull, the Rev. Guy Eric Smith and the Rev. Lionel Foyster, to the investigations by Harry Price and other members of the Society forPsychical Research (SPR).
Reports of apparently paranormal activity -including appearances of the famous phantom nun - were still beingreceived from the now desolate site of the rectory, its immediatevicinity and the church just across the road where many of the peoplewho figure in the story now lie buried.
Underwood studied andinvestigated the Borley case for thirty years, personally meeting andinterviewing practically everyone connected with it. Originally intended for publication in the 1950s, Underwood's 'Borley manuscript wasshelved due to the release in 1956 of the 'The Haunting of BorleyRectory' (also known as the 'Borley Report'), which was severelycritical of Price's investigation.
However following the publication of'An Examination of the 'Borley Report'' (1969), a defence of Price byRobert J. Hastings, the foundations were set for Underwood's 'BorleyDossier' to finally be released a few years later. Tabori was literaryexecutor to the Harry Price estate with access to all relevant material. Underwood then took over as executor, and in recognition for his workwas presented with the famous Great Bell of Borley that hung in thecourtyard from 1863 to 1943 and at Price's home from 1943 to 1973.
