The problem with the Borley Rectory case is that it's become so mythologized that it's hard to separate fact from Price's own interpretations.

Rendlesham might be the best documented case, but remember that doesn't mean it's documented well. The interviews were conducted years after the fact.

Interesting theory, but I'd argue we're not overcomplicating it - Price's recordings were extremely controversial even at the time.

I've been studying the original Harry Price investigations into Borley Rectory (1939-1940s) and I'm fascinated by some of the audio documentation he supposedly captured.
Could be dodgy wiring in this old terrace, or could be something more interesting. Or you've just got a knackered meter and you're seeing what you want to see?

You can do serious investigation on a budget but you have to be disciplined about methodology instead of equipment.

Borley is the perfect case study for how folklore develops. The more people talk about it, the more "evidence" appears. It's a feedback loop.

For something truly weird and British, look up the documentary about the Moberly-Jourdain Versailles incident.

Here's a thought: what if instead of debating who demands more evidence, we agreed that *all* claims need proportionate evidence? Small claim, smaller evidence threshold.

The old Unsolved Mysteries episodes with Robert Stack still hold up remarkably well. They don't try to explain everything, they just present the facts and let you make up your mind.

I don't live in London but I've read extensively about the original Spring-heeled Jack accounts and there's some genuinely weird testimony from multiple independent witnesses in the 1830s.

I have to disagree respectfully. The newer meters might not be better at detecting EMF, but they're better at filtering out false positives.
Honestly mate, most paranormal documentaries are nonsense because they're made by people who've already decided what the answer is.

By the time I processed what I'd seen, it was gone into the alleyway This is the thing though - your processing lag is probably 2-3 seconds.

The BBC's A Stitch in Time documentary about the Pendle witches is absolutely brilliant - proper historical investigation mixed with paranormal context.

The automatic writing stuff really intrigues me. Even if you dismiss 90% of the Borley phenomena, you've still got multiple instances of educated people producing writing they claimed was outside...

The temperature drop you mentioned is actually significant and rarely gets reported by people in straightforward animal encounter scenarios.

The bar for proof isn't impossibly high - it's just that good documentation alone isn't proof of anything extraordinary.
