English Original
Borley Rectory was reputed to be the most haunted house in the UK. It was built in 1863 by Reverend Henry D.E. Bull near the River Stour in Essex to house his large family. The rectory burned down under mysterious circumstances in 1939.
It is believed the site was destined for hauntings due to its long history. The land once held a 12th-century church and other buildings. Foundations revealed underground tunnels and vaulted rooms. The rectory itself was a three-story building with about twenty rooms.
The most popular legend dates to 1362, when Benedictine monks built a monastery on the site. A local story tells of a nun from a nearby convent who fell in love with a monk. They planned to elope with the help of a coachman but were captured. The monk was hanged, the coachman beheaded, and the nun was allegedly walled up alive within the vaults. Their ghosts are said to haunt the location to this day.

博利教区长住宅曾被誉为英国闹鬼最凶的房屋。它由亨利·D.E.布尔牧师于1863年在埃塞克斯郡的斯托尔河附近建造，用以安置其庞大的家庭。这座住宅于1939年在神秘的情况下被烧毁。
由于其悠久的历史，人们相信这片土地注定闹鬼。这里曾有一座12世纪的教堂和其他建筑。地基中发现了地下隧道和拱顶房间。教区长住宅本身是一栋三层楼高、拥有约二十个房间的建筑。
最流行的传说可追溯到1362年，当时本笃会修士在此地修建了一座修道院。当地故事讲述了一位来自附近女修道院的修女爱上了一位修士。他们计划在一名马车夫的帮助下私奔，但被抓获。修士被处以绞刑，马车夫被斩首，而修女据称被活埋在了拱顶的墙壁内。据说他们的鬼魂至今仍在那个地方出没。
