Essex, England

Poltergeist activity captured on Film

During 1944 LIFE magazine researched an article on Borley Rectory, reputidly the most haunted house in the United Kingdom

The rectory burnt down on the 27th February 1939 when an overturned oil lamp set fire to some bookcases. Witnesses at the time who watched the blaze spotted ghosts in the windows. The site was later demolished in 1944.

Whilst photographing the final demolition of the rectory, the photographer took pictures showing a brick rise from the rubble in the doorway. Sceptics say that it was merely a brick that had been thrown by a nearby workman and accidentally captured by the photographer. However, the photographer still claims nobody was near the building at the time.
