EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing instruction booklet, dated 1937, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of psychic research as it was practiced during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The cover bears the title "Instructions for Observers at Borley Rectory," identifying it as a guide for individuals participating in investigations at Borley Rectory, a notoriously haunted location in Essex, England. At the time, Borley Rectory was believed to be one of the most haunted places in England, with reports of ghostly apparitions, strange noises, and unexplained phenomena dating back to the 13th century. The rectory became a focal point for psychic researchers and paranormal investigators, including the renowned medium Harry Price, who conducted extensive investigations there in the 1920s and 1930s. This instruction booklet would have been distributed to observers who came to Borley Rectory to assist in the investigations. It provides detailed instructions on how to document and record observations, including information on the equipment to be used, such as cameras, tape recorders, and notebooks. It also includes guidelines on how to conduct séances and communicate with spirits, as well as advice on maintaining a disciplined and objective approach to the investigations. The booklet reflects the serious and scientific approach that some psychic researchers took to their work during this period, as they sought to establish the validity of psychic phenomena and distinguish it from superstition and hoaxes. The cover image of the booklet, with its ominous depiction of Borley Rectory and its ghostly inhabitants, adds to the intrigue and mystery surrounding the investigations and the world of psychic research in general.
