There's a medium in Essex called Patricia Whitmore who's been doing some work specifically on Borley Rectory. She's posted on Facebook about making EVP contact with some of the entities that allegedly haunted the place. I'm genuinely curious if anyone here's had any experience with her or her work.

I'm not totally credulous - I know Borley's got a dodgy history with Harry Price and all that - but if someone's legitimately recorded EVP in that location recently, that's interesting data. Has anyone paid for a reading with her or attended any of her events? Is she legit or is she just cashing in on the Borley name?

Also keen to know if anyone's done EVP work at Borley themselves in the last year or so. The rectory's a private home now but the grounds are accessible. Would be good to compare notes if multiple people are picking up similar voices/messages.

I've never heard of Patricia Whitmore specifically, but Essex has a LOT of mediums claiming connections to Borley. It's basically the Loch Ness Monster of haunted houses - too famous not to have hangers-on. My advice: ask her for free samples of her EVP recordings. Legitimate mediums usually have audio you can listen to before paying. If she won't share, she's likely running a scam.

Right, so Harry Price basically invented modern ghost hunting, but he was also an absolute charlatan who stage-managed evidence. If Patricia's claiming Borley connections, she's trading on a location with a compromised historical record. Not saying nothing happened there - just that we'll never know what actually did.

I did EVP work at Borley in 2019 (before the recent ownership). Spent a night with an EMF meter and a digital recorder. Got absolutely nothing. The place felt "dead" to me - and I don't mean that metaphorically. No presences, no cold spots, no equipment anomalies. Makes me wonder if whatever haunted that place moved on, or if the whole thing was hysteria from the start.

EVP is incredibly prone to pareidolia and confirmation bias. You hear what you want to hear in white noise. I'm not saying mediums are all frauds, but EVP evidence is among the weakest paranormal data we have. If Patricia's got actual video evidence or something more tangible than audio, then maybe worth investigating.

I'd be interested in hearing her recordings if you end up making contact with her. Post links if she shares anything publicly. The paranormal community needs more transparency about this stuff - too much gatekeeping behind paywalls.
