Afterlife

Borley RectoryPhantom Activities:phantom footsteps, items being thrown, strange lights, ghostly whispers, a headless man, a girl in white, Henry Bull himself (who died in the Blue Room of the rectory on May 7, 1892), and the spirit of a nun, which was seen several times by several people.
