Considered by many the most haunted house in England, Borley Rectory has a unique legend behind it. Borley was built on the site of an old Nunnery.

They were both tracked down and the monk was executed and the nun was bricked up alive in the cellar of the building. Since then the ghost of the nun walks the grounds of the house endlessly.
