  • Summary

  • Harry Price remains the most famous psychical researcher of all time. The Most Haunted House in England (1940) is his own vivid account of, arguably, his most well-known case. Borley Rectory was a vast, warren-like, Victorian building renowned for poltergeist activity, wall-writing, and strange manifestations. Most notably, the forlorn figure of a spectral nun, seen by countless witnesses over many decades.

Very underwhelming

This was probably the most boring account of a haunting I have ever heard— unless you like painstaking descriptions of exactly how room and other architectural features are situated in an old home. The author alluded to potentially interesting parts of the story, only to say “more of that later” and then never mentioning them. Perhaps some chapters were left out of this book? In any case my advice is not to waste your time and find the actual book to read yourself. That way it might be easier to skip ahead to read the more interesting bits.
