Borley Rectory in 2024—is it still active?

I've been researching Borley Rectory in Essex for a project and I'm curious whether anyone on the forum has visited recently or has any updated information. The rectory itself was demolished in 1944, but the site is technically accessible (it's private land now but people do investigate).

The classic cases from the 1920s-30s are well documented - poltergeist activity, apparitions, the famous "Faux Monk" sighting. But I'm wondering: is there still paranormal activity there? Has anyone picked up anything in recent years?

Also, logistically, what's the situation with access? I know it's tricky legally but I'd love to know if it's worth attempting a visit.

I visited in 2019 with a small investigation group. Honestly? Nothing remarkable happened. We did EMF readings, thermal imaging, the lot. Nada. But the feeling of the place is genuinely eerie. Whether that's residual energy or just the weight of its history, who knows. The current owners aren't keen on visitors so we didn't stay long.

Borley is tricky because so much of the early documentation is disputed. Harry Price's investigation in the 1930s is now considered partially fraudulent by some researchers. That said, something was happening there. The monks' graves might still be worth investigating? There's historical records suggesting they predate the rectory itself.

The land remembers what happened there, I reckon. Some places are just... marked. I did a solo investigation in 2021 (very foolish, don't recommend) and my equipment went haywire. Could've been technical failure, could've been something else. Hard to say.

If you want to visit, contact the local historical society first. They're usually more helpful than you'd expect and might have access information that keeps you on the right side of the law. Trespassing charges are not worth the paranormal experience, trust me.
