what gets me is the sheer scale of corroborating accounts. a million witnesses isnt just a few cranks with cameras, thats an entire city essentially agreeing on what they saw.

Right, so I'm planning a pilgrimage to what's left of Borley Rectory in Essex next month, and I'm trying to figure out if it's actually worth the petrol money.

Honestly, I'd be more interested in what TfL is doing with the old Victorian tunnels from the 1800s. There's genuinely fascinating abandoned infrastructure under London.

The thing about Borley is that everyone goes there expecting something dramatic because of the legend.

I don't think poltergeists exist as independent entities, but I do think there's genuine phenomena happening that we're calling poltergeist activity.

They just wheel out the debunkers. THIS. And the debunkers are always the same three or four academics who've clearly never actually done the work. They've read papers about it.

The smell description is intriguing because it's consistent across reports and across years. That suggests either genuine animal scent or a consistent misidentification of something real.

Right, I've been lurking here long enough to notice some absolute patterns in poster behaviour. Thought I'd compile the definitive taxonomy of Quirk Reports members.
