The other aspect is that people are at it.
And this is the difficulty when you have so many people involved in a case is that everybody wants to be right.
Everyone wants to say, I solved Borley Rectory.
And what makes it difficult is that because it's burned down, people are sort of just chasing the stories.
Or like Kieran says, they can go to the area, they can go to the nun's walk.
But that means that we can't investigate it with modern techniques.
We can't fill the house with cameras.
We can't take environmental readings with the equipment that we do have now.
I think for me, this case does have an element of fakery to it.
I do think that people embellished it or were at it, either intentionally or not intentionally.
The case ran for so long, it's impossible to avoid that.
However, there are so many things that cannot be explained by human error or intervention.
The sheer volume of witnesses alone, you had the Bull family, the Smiths, the Foysters, their staff, their visitors, friends, even people who came later, Harry Price, all of his investigators on top of it.
And so I don't believe that absolutely everybody is at it.
And I think that's what makes it such a fascinating case.
I think if you were to stop anybody on the streets of Britain and say, what is the definitive haunted house story, they would say Boreley Rectory.
And it was investigated by Harry Price, who is arguably the most famous ghost hunter of all time.
He's an incredibly weird and interesting character.
