    Borley Rectory: The Most Haunted House in England
    Jun 9 2026
    Explore the legendary Borley Rectory in Essex, England, dubbed 'the most haunted house in England' by paranormal investigator Harry Price. Built in 1862 by Reverend Henry Bull, this Victorian mansion became famous for decades of reported supernatural phenomena including mysterious sounds, moving objects, apparitions of a nun, and unexplained writing on walls.
