[As I work on your submission, I am shook by this sentence - "On the other hand maybe the box and its contents are still intact and lie in the place where they were given Christian burial in the same month that the war in Europe ended in 1945." Perhaps we should not invite desecration by making your report public. Or perhaps we might make this a special project of the BGS: confirm the spot by digging it up, and then reinter the remains with a proper burial and THEN cover the spot with a large stone to deter excavation. Right now, I am not comfortable in making the exact spot public.]

Perhaps we, the BGS could get together and fund a stone or slab which we could securely mark and commemorate the area. not only protecting it but also giving the person,who is fundamental to the Borley story, and whose remains lie below that dignity and memorial which they deserve. Each of the BGS associates [would donate] 10£ or $ to fund a 1 foot square slab with a short inscription. This we would lay near the spot identfied by Paul and I at Liston. It could read, "Near this spot lie the remains of a woman uncovered from beneath the cellars of Borley Rectory on 17th August 1943 by Harry Price and interned here on 29th May 1945 by Rev A.C Henning.May the Lord grant her eternal rest. This stone was laid here 29th May 2004 by the Borley Ghost Society." I reckon we would have no trouble raising the money. All we would need is the permission from the church authorities and some free help from the British based BGS members. We could hold a commemoration every 29 May where BGS associates could meet up and discuss Borley. I agree with Paul that the last 60 years and the additional burials have all but hidden what was laid to rest on that peaceful summer evening back in 1945. However i still hope we can get permission to lay a commemorative plaque at some time. . . . I think this new addition to the web site will spur peoples imaginations to remember that THE spirit which haunted, and still haunts Borley lies in Liston churchyard and should be remembered. - Eddie Brazil

This view looking up to the rectory site from the railway will help illustrate the idea Paul and I have been working on, that the lights seen in the rectory windows were those of passing trains is highly implausible. The distance, the fact that the trains travelled within a cutting, and that the carriages were illuminated with feeble glowing gas lamps, I believe gives weight to our argument. - Eddie Brazil

I want to know more about what people think of borley rectory and see if some people want to spend a night up at the rectory. I am an out going person i like any thing to do with ghosts and the supernatural. - John Schofield

I have always been interested in the Borley Rectory phenomenon since I was very young, listening to stories and reading up about its history. Then, when I married my wife, I realised that she came from Glemsford (her father still does) which is only 10 minutes drive from Borley. I simply want to continue gathering as much information about Borley as I can and as my Father-in-Law lives so close I can now take regular up to date pictures using my digital camera and am able to upload these photos onto the web. This may help you and provides you with upto date pictures of the village, church and old rectory grounds. I am 30 years old. I am a teacher of Art and Design and work in Northamptonshire, England. My main interest is model making, art, computers and of course gathering information about ghosts. - James Grover

To Mr.Clarke. Just a few words to say how much I have enjoyed your Borley sidelights over the last year. I have been interested in the alleged paranormal phenomena at Borley for over thirty years. . . . I've had plenty of time to read your sidelights and to study Mr. O'Neils excellent Borley Rectory website in detail. In April this year i was able to travel to Sudbury, and to visit Borley for the first time. I found the atmosphere there very "unusual." From my experience at Borley, my understanding of the whole Borley story ,and the location of the former rectory,has been greatly enriched from my visit. Mr.O'Neil kindly placed some photographs from my visit in April, in his photographs section of his Borley site. Compliments of the season, Alexander Macdonald

I would just like to say that I find the web site on the BGS fascinating. I'm a member of the Ghost Club founded in 1862 here in the Uk. I am the Scottish Area Investigation Co-ordinator for Scotland. I have been reading the books The Enigma of Borley Rectory and Borley Rectory The Final Analysis, these books make very interesting reading. The Borley story is a very fascinating case. Some people will say that what happened is not possible, these people of course are your real sceptics. I believe that what I have read does hold true regarding some of the Phenomenon. I myself at present am going to conduct another investigation in February in the "Edinburgh vaults". Tyhe Vaults are now described as the Most Haunted place in Britain, I'm not yet convinced on this statement but I have witnessed strange phenomena in the underground vaults, I ve heard raps on the walls, Voices, Footsteps the noise of stones being thrown. Seven sets of footsteps were heard diring the course of the night by 5 investigaors all together at the same time. One set tweo of us chased down a dark vaulted corrider and found nothing at the end. . . . I 'm very interested in the Borley Story and have read a few books on the subject. There are so many different views from different authors, it can be very difficult to decide at times. I was very interested to find the "Locked Book" on your website and have had a look at every page, the full 162 pages I think. I personally do believe that there was some kind of phenomena present at Borley during the years the building survived before tragically being burnt in the fire. It is a great shame the building is not there today. It is very similar to the haunting of "Ballechin House" in Scotland, this building is long gone as well and very few photographs survive today. The House was situated outside the Scottish City of Perth it is in easy reaching distance to where I stay and a small team are going to visit the grounds where the main house once stood. As far as I know there are a few remains on the ground of where the cellars were and like Borley there is a cottage near by which is still standing. The phenomena in the house was rekoned to be mostly poltergeist but there were some sightings of a "Nun" like figure in the grounds. You will be laughing at this point becuase it is like a mirror image of Borley rectory only difference being that the house was a different shape. the house was built by Major Robert Steuart and passed to his nephew Captain Steuart. . . . . I am going to read more of the web site on Borley, it is fascinating and a lot of work has been put into it. . . . .With best wishes to you, Derek Green, Scottish Area investigation Co-Ordinator, The Ghost Club

Had a very interesting conversation with Alan Roper the other day by phone.what a fascinating gentleman. i could have talked all day. i have passed on his number to Paul as Alan knew Sidney glanvilles daughter. - Eddie Brazil

I'm very glad to see the web site is still flourishing and evolving. Your dedication to this subject is most worthy of praise. I live in Essex, very close to Borley. Something very unique happened there, I firmly believe that in amongst all the man-made phenomena (Price!) clearly there were many unexplained happenings. To dismiss ALL of these is to accuse many credible people of being liars or lunatics. In this World many things remain mysterious, as each era progresses secrets are revealed which previous people have rubbished. I predict that at some time we will discover the truth; my Grandmother recently died, when she was born Man had never flown, now look at us. Imagine where we will be in another century. Let us not forget that the function of a quarter of the human brain is not scientifically accounted for, without question it has a purpose; maybe it is for reasons connected with an afterlife. Whatever happens I remain MOST grateful for your continuing devotion in this area, your un-biased management of this site does you enormous credit. Thank-you. - Matthew Giles

Who should we contact to get permission to visit the inside of Borley church please?It was(as expected) locked up last time we went to Borley. All we want to do is to have a good look round and take a few pics if allowed. - John Lane
[The only way you can gain access to the church is to ask the churchwardens, living in Borley Cottage directly across the road. You will get better results if you do not mention ghosts.]

I am writing to see if I can get a color photo of the Rectory such as the one in your award for a article that I wrote for a magazine about the Rectory. I would like to have a photo of the Rectory at the top of the Article. If this is a problem to do this, I can understand. But the Rectory has a fascinating history and many people are enthralled by it. If you would like I can send you my article for the Rectory and you can read it if you like. I am glad to have found this site and the actual son of Marianne Foyster. Small World. I will also have you know, that I do not believe the slanderous lies I have read that have said that it is believed that your Mother, Marianne, had poisoned her first husband, Lionel Foyster. I do not believe this for a second. Yes I am a big fan of the Rectory as I have read everything I can get my hands on concerning it. . . . - Ray Finchum
[There is no color photo of the rectory, only a color photo of Peter Underwood's model, which is not available. I will send a copy of a black and white photo from my collection upon receipt of the text of your article. I would also like a copy of the magazine. Thank you for your support of my mother - my own book The Most Haunted Woman In England gives much more information about what she was REALLY like.]
