EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the solemn burial of a nun in the Liston churchyard on May 29, 1945. The nun, whose identity remains a mystery, is believed to have been connected to the haunted Borley Rectory in Essex, England. The ceremony was attended by Reverend A.C. Henning and his family, including his wife and their son, Stephen, as well as renowned paranormal investigator Harry Price. The Borley Rectory, known as one of England's most haunted houses, had been the subject of numerous ghostly reports and investigations for decades. Price, a leading figure in the field of psychical research, had been actively involved in studying the rectory's paranormal phenomena since the late 1920s. The nun's apparition was first reported in the late 1800s and was said to roam the rectory and churchyard, often seen wearing a monk's habit or a long grey cloak. Some believed the nun to be the vengeful spirit of a former resident, while others thought she was a nun from a nearby monastery who had been walled up in the rectory during the Reformation. Despite the eerie atmosphere surrounding the burial, the attendees remained undeterred, as they believed the nun's spirit would finally find peace with her physical resting place. The photograph serves as a haunting reminder of the enduring fascination with the paranormal and the unexplained, and the ongoing search for answers to the mysteries of Borley Rectory.
