Cold Cases: Case 11: Borley Rectory

Danny and the team turn their attention to Borley Rectory, which has often been called the most haunted house in England.

It’s a sprawling, spectacular story that spans more than 60 years and features mysterious messages scrawled on the walls, unexplained noises, and at least one phantom nun.

The house became a noted paranormal hotspot soon after it was built in 1862, and was made famous by legendary ghost hunter Harry Price. But was he a meticulous paranormal researcher, or a showman who couldn't resist gilding the lily? And does the truth about Borley lie in the supernatural, or in the all-too-human stories of the families who lived there?
