Join host Clara Moss as she examines the controversial legacy of Harry Price, Britain's most famous paranormal investigator, and his decades-long study of Borley Rectory in Essex. Known as 'the most haunted house in England,' this Victorian rectory became the center of one of the twentieth century's most documented ghost investigations. Price claimed to bring scientific methodology to supernatural research, using cameras, recording equipment, and temperature monitors to document alleged paranormal activity. However, his methods and conclusions faced serious criticism from contemporary researchers and later investigators. This episode explores how Price's work reflects the tension between genuine scientific inquiry and confirmation bias, examining the 1956 debunking study that challenged his findings and the broader cultural context of interwar spiritualism. We discuss the media's role in amplifying unexplained phenomena, the persistence of ghost stories in popular culture, and what modern sceptics can learn from this fascinating case study. The Borley investigation offers valuable insights into evaluating extraordinary claims and the importance of rigorous evidence standards in paranormal research, making it essential listening for anyone interested in critical thinking and the debunking tradition.
