This day marks the 69th anniversary of the fire that destroyed the infamous Borley Rectory. Built on the site of an ancient monastery in 1863, the rectory was doomed from the start. Three families lived here, including the original owner, Rev. Henry Bull, only to be driven out by intense paranormal activity. All kinds of strange phenomenon have occurred here, the most malicious occurring when a child was attacked by “something horrible.”

Today, the Borley Rectory still touches visitors with an eerie feeling that is almost palpable. For a fascinating look at the Borley Rectory, read the article from Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
