Borley Rectory-英國英語鬼故事
在二十世界二十年代和二十世紀三十年代的時候，鬼魂常出沒的borley rectory，毫無疑問是英國最著名的地方之一，也成為最值得爭議的話題之一。個別的目擊者做看到的大量的景象和經(jīng)歷表明雖然大多數(shù)的現(xiàn)象可以用理性的術(shù)語來解釋，但是一種比例仍然表明在目前這段時間里，由于難以理解，這種現(xiàn)象還是可以看到。
borley rectory was reputed to be the most haunted house in the uk. the rectory was built by the rev. henry d. e. bull in 1863 near the river stour, essex, to house himself, his wife and their 14 children. however the rectory burnt down in a fire started in mysterious circumstances in 1939.
it's thought that the rectory was destined to be a haunted house from the start due to the events that had occurred on the site many centuries before.the foundation was an age old priory on land that contained a 12th century church, caretaker's house and other buildings. a.c. henning, the rector in 1936, discovered that the doomsday book told of a borley manor prior to 1066, so he concluded a wooden church was probably also built around that time. the foundations contained underground tunnels and a complex of vault rooms. the rectory had 20 rooms, was about 3 stories high.
the most popular story to the background of borley was that in 1362 benedictine monks built a monastery on the site which would later hold the rectory. 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.
