Andrew Clarke now works as an IT expert, specialising in large-scale database applications.
He first visited the site of Borley Rectory in the 1950s, and has lived nearby since then.
In the early 1970s he taught at a local school that took several children from the area, whose grandparents had witnessed the events.
In the sixties, he met, and became friends with, Trevor Hall, the redoubtable researcher into the Borley Rectory phenomena, when they both became founder members of the Dorothy L Sayers Society.
Whilst the Senior Child Psychologist in the Ipswich Health Area, he investigated several alleged hauntings, including one that turned out to be due to organophosphorous poisoning from a woodworm treatment, and another that masked severe family psychopathology. Coincidentally, he also investigated the 'Haunted Council House' in Acton whilst a District Councillor.
He now lives in the next parish to Borley, at Pentlow Mill, and knows many of the residents. Over the years, he has met, and interviewed,many people with first-hand experience of the haunting and other events. He is a keen amateur historian, and aims, one day, to complete an accurate Psychohistorical account of what happened, with a rational explanation, free of speculation, for all the bizzare events.
Andrew is quite active in the Foxearth Historical Society and has found many documents relating to Borley. He is in the process of creating an e-book on line, Borley Sidelights, which takes a unique perspective at Borley and the surrounding area.
