Short Stuff: Most Haunted House in England

This Halloween special dives into the legend of Borley Rectory, England's most famous haunted house, which gained worldwide notoriety thanks to paranormal investigator Harry Price's studies there in the 1930s. What started as a rectory built in the 1860s on land with centuries of ghostly folklore became the subject of Price's year-long investigation with 48 assistants, ultimately convincing many believers that haunted houses were real. However, the story takes a juicy turn when rival researchers later uncovered evidence that Price himself may have fabricated evidence and that residents like Mrs. Marianne Foister were actually orchestrating elaborate hoaxes—though not everything could be explained away, and a suspicious memoir claiming to expose the truth turned out to be completely fabricated itself.
