After Math Borley Cellar Corner Human Rectory
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the corner of the cellar in Borley Rectory following the devastating fire that engulfed the historic building on 27 February 1939. The image, taken on 28 March of the same year (HPG/1/3/5, xxxiii), reveals the aftermath of the discovery of human remains that were unearthed during the firefighting efforts. Borley Rectory, located in Essex, England, has long been associated with ghostly phenomena and paranormal activity, making this discovery all the more intriguing. The exact origin of the human remains remains a mystery, fueling the ongoing debate about the true nature of the events that transpired within the rectory's walls. The corner of the cellar, with its exposed brickwork and pools of water, bears testament to the intense heat and destruction caused by the fire. The historical significance of this photograph lies not only in the discovery of the human remains but also in the broader context of Borley Rectory's haunted past and the ongoing fascination with the paranormal. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the past and the enduring allure of the unknown.
