Competition with Spirits
Well, it’s plucking day!
Well done everyone who correctly identified the building in the above photograph as – ‘The Most Haunted House in England’ – Borley Rectory!
The connection to Conversations with Sprits being Harry Price; a character in the book - and the real-life psychic investigator at Borley.
Well done – Ian Williams!
You were plucked from literally ones of entrants from my big hat this morning.
A bottle of unpleasantly-syrupy booze will be winging itself to you later today…
Other glamorous hatees, correctly identifying the building were:
Elizabeth Troake
Edmund Chambers
Katie Rawlins
John Mitchinson
John Patrick Higgins
Michelle Yamamoto
J F Derry
Philip Doyle
Paul Bury
Thank you all for getting involved.
I will be putting a post in my shed about Borley Rectory later today.
In the meantime, here’s a snippet from a BBC documentary about Borley from the early 1970s. (Warning: there’s some very strong looks going on here.)

I knew that the time spent in my formative years reading encyclopedias of ghosts and hauntings wasn't wasted. Looking forward to my first taste of De Kuyper's finest Cherry Brandy - I shall raise a glass or three to you all!

I was more of an Usbourne 'Book of Ghosts' man, myself.
There was a story in it about an Irish warehouse that was filled with ghostly hats.
It left you wanting more...

J F Derry would like it pointed out that, in fact, he did not answer correctly.
J F Derry was, as always, erroneous.

As was I ... horribly so!
