The problem is we can't know. Maybe that's the point - Borley Rectory is a perfect example of how paranormal research gets corrupted by human nature.

You're right though that the actual evidence is thin. Most of it's folklore and echo chambers repeating the same stories. I've been there twice, saw nothing unusual, felt nothing unusual.

Spring-heeled Jack would be incredible if real but the original sightings were also probably misidentified normal stuff - carnival performers, escaped animals, people with springs on their shoes...

I filed an FOI request in 2019. Got back four pages of mostly black marker pen. Literally cost me the request fee just to receive heavily redacted information.
Save the money honestly. You're better off learning about baseline EM readings in normal environments first, which is free. Then if you still want to investigate, spend more.

The fact that it's still redacted after 44 years is actually proof of something unusual, not proof of a cover-up. If it was Venus or a plane, why wouldn't they just say so?

Could've been someone on a skateboard or parkour person? London's full of people doing free-running at stupid hours.

So this is going to sound mental but bear with me. Thursday night, around 11:30pm, I was walking near Peckham and I saw... something.

Because Culloden is different - the sheer emotional intensity of that battle, the cultural trauma, the fact that it was literally a genocide of a people.

I think Price found a genuinely active location and then couldn't resist embellishing it because he was an Edwardian attention-seeker who wanted to be famous.
Maureen Z. in Haunted Locations 7 months ago thumb_up 2
But witnesses reported phenomena before Price arrived and after he left. That's documented. Just because the famous investigator was dodgy doesn't mean the rectory was actually fine.

Your "danger instinct" going off is interesting though. That's not from seeing something objectively scary, that's your threat-detection system reading something as Wrong.

Honest answer: they're tools that work as advertised but they're not ghost detectors. They detect EM fields.

Mate, you're assuming the government even knows what it was. Bureaucracies don't keep secrets well - they keep things classified because the original classification decision is never revisited.
You're not unfair at all - Price was a stage magician and showman first, investigator second. He had financial incentive to find phenomena, and he had the skills to fake it.

Visited Culloden battlefield last autumn and honestly, the "documented sightings" of phantom soldiers are complete fantasy.

Can a £20 meter do the same job as a £200+ meter?Technically yes, a meter measures electromagnetic fields and a meter measures electromagnetic fields.

Right, I know this gets done to death, but we're now over 40 years past the Rendlesham Forest incident and the UK Ministry of Defence documents are still heavily redacted or locked away.
So I've been reading through all the research on Borley and the more I dig, the more it looks like Harry Price basically invented most of the phenomena.
