EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of respite for an observer during the intense paranormal investigations at Borley Rectory on 21 November 1937. The Base Room, a notoriously haunted area of the rectory, is illuminated by the soft glow of a table lamp and a hanging gas light. The observer, dressed in hunting attire, lies asleep on an old bed, his rifle and lantern resting nearby on the floor. The shelves lining the room are filled with various paranormal investigation tools and equipment, adding to the historical and eerie atmosphere. Borley Rectory, located in Essex, England, was infamous for its numerous reported ghost sightings and strange occurrences. Investigators from the Society for Psychical Research, including the renowned medium Harry Price, spent several nights in the rectory in an attempt to uncover the truth behind the hauntings. This photograph offers a glimpse into the dedication and commitment of these investigators, who were determined to unravel the mysteries of the haunted rectory. The photograph, taken from the HPG collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the rich history of paranormal investigations and the enduring fascination with the unexplained. The image invites us to reflect on the human desire to seek answers to the unknown and the lengths people will go to uncover the secrets of the past.
