THE MONK'S GHOST AT BORLEY RECTORY

Essex, England

The Ghost of the Monk captured on Film

This is a famous photo was taken in the 1920 near the graveyard at Borley Rectory, the most haunted house in Britain. What appears to be the ghost of a monk is seen walking at the back right of the photo.

Legend told of a nun from the Bures convent, 7 miles southeast of Borley falling in love with a monk from the monastery. They had decided to elope to be together, but the elders discovered their plans. A friend of the monk was to drive a carriage to help them escape. On the fateful night they were captured by the elders. The coachman was beheaded, the monk hanged and the nun was bricked up alive in the walls of the vaults beneath the rectory. Their ghosts have haunted the site ever since.
