One of the most visited places is the village of Borly, namely the house of the Bull family. Local residents claim that the house was set on fire several times, sometimes you can see the incredible, including ghosts. The house has a very spooky story. What happened there and how did it all start?
In 1862, in the village of Borley, a local priest, Henry Bull, built his home near a small church. After living in the house for several years and then becoming a parish rector, Henry moved into a spacious new house that was built on the site of a temple dating from the 14th century. And in the old house strange phenomena began to occur, none of the new residents of the house stayed there longer than a week, and local residents claimed that noises were heard in the house, someone was beating the walls. In 1892, Henry Bull died, and his son Harry Bull became the abbot, who decided to destroy the old house. In 1900, local residents began to see the ghost of a nun wandering around the old house and moving away towards the new one. Based on this story, a modern horror film called "The Curse of the Nun" was filmed.
The house was rebuilt in 1914 and the Smith family moved in in 1928. The family was cleaning the house when a skull was discovered in one of the old cabinets, as it turned out of a young woman, wrapped in a pile of papers. Soon the poltergeist began to manifest itself again, the windows were shaking, the doorbell rang on its own, lights and silhouettes flickered in the windows at night. The young Smith family turned to the Daily Mirror, attracting the public and paranormal experts.
Professor of psychic and paranormal research Harry Price settled in the house. The poltergeist was also active, since the professor was powerless, the Smith family left the house in 1929.
In October 1930, the priest Lionel Feister, together with his family, decided to move into this house. The poltergeist was also active, the priest was in active correspondence with Harry Price, where he actively described all the actions of the poltergeist. Several rituals of exorcism also did not help, and the Foister family left home in 1935. In the years that followed, Harry Price and his group lived in the house and observed poltergeist phenomena. In 1938, one of Price's students conducted a spiritualism session and reported that she was in contact with two spirits, the nun Marie Leir and the spirit Sanex Amures. The nun said that she was killed in 1667 in the old monastery, and the spirit of Saneks Amures said that soon the house would be burnt and human bones would be found.
