Our book consists of twelve chapters.
The first six of them describes the history of the haunting; this we have covered thoroughly, although we have not dwelt at undue length on matters that have been discussed already in other books. We are able to furnish much fresh detail about the characters involved, and which has come to us from local contacts; we have been able to put a lot of "flesh on the bones."
The seventh and eighth chapters have been written by Claudia Mathias (the sole survivor of the rectors of Borley and their widows). These chapters relate the train of events that led her to the tiny but now famous villages of Borley and Liston, details of day-to-day life there, and previously unpublished reports of psychic phenomena there.
The ninth and tenth chapters give more accounts of paranormal experiences in the rectory itself and in the general area.
Chapter ten gives also details of the discovery of the long lost entry to the huge crypt under Borley church. These have not been published before, and for decades there was doubt about the existence of the crypt. Even Harry Price failed to solve the problem!
The eleventh chapter discusses many relevant documents to which we had access, and which have not been dealt with in other books.
The final chapter describes a long haunting in another rectory not far from Borley, the possible effects of ley lines on the affair (four of them intersect at Borley), and we have completed it with a lengthy summary and conclusions.
Our general conclusion is that some of the phenomena were genuine and some were not. There are three appendices, a select bibliography, and an index.
Once again, thanks to local contacts, we have many early and remarkable photographs of people involved in the haunting, and these pictures have not appeared in any other publication. They include one of the Reverend Harry Bull which was taken at his induction as the rector of Borley in 1892, and another one of him with his wife and stepdaughter posing in front of the rectory on the tennis lawn (the path known as the Nun's Walk is included in this photograph).
