"Once a thief, always a thief"

If Louis Mayerling is willing to use material from other sources without authorization or acknowledgment, how can any of his history be trusted? As can be witnessed below, many of the photos used in his book are grainy - a clear indication of being copied from second or even third sources.

The original publisher of his book has been encouraged to obtain a copy of Who Am I? and The Most Haunted Woman in England from a variety of sources so that the following comparisons can be made. If an edited copy of We Faked the Ghosts of Borley Rectory is re-issued, how can any publisher be positive it is completely "clean" of unauthorized material?

I no longer believe that Mayerling knew my mother, and if he met her at all, it was only for a brief period of time. As with the other Borley-related memories from his book, the time spent with my mother happened only in his imagination. Unfortunately, he has lived with these false ideas so long, he probably now believes them to be true. There is no credible evidence to support his claims, however.

In his December 6, 2000 letter to me, Mayerling admitted using my mother's Pope John XXIII publicity photo, and the signature on her will without authorization. He offered to pay me after-the-fact, but that is unacceptable. He still claims to have a copy of my mother's passport photo - but the following evidence will prove he did not use an original in his book.

If Mayerling has originals of any of the items reproduced in his book - including my mother's passport photo - he must produce them before they are accepted by a publisher. The passport photo should show the appropriate signs of aging, and not be printed on modern paper. Likewise, he should also have copies of the original floor plans, and the watch my mother supposedly gave him.

If he is willing to "lift" photos and mislabel their source, then he is also willing to create false memories of Borley. The following is only a sample of the instances where Mayerling used my material - it does NOT include examples of unauthorized copying from other sources such as the Harry Price books or the Ivan Banks book. The captions he has put under those photos are inaccurate, as they were taken from sources readily recognizable to even the most casual reader of the Borley history.
