I saw this in 1975 and the loud sigh was frankly disturbing. It still has kept it's ability to scare and if true it is one of the chilling pieces of paranormal activity claimed to have been recorded. Amazing to see it again.
Remember watching this when it came on the TV way back then, was very scary, and possibly the scariest thing on TV for years, these blokes are well respected people and not like the shite Most Haunted fakery. Great to see and hear this again, and yes its still scary... thanks
I remember watching this programme when I was a kid in the 70s. The sounds were scary. At least this programme has more credibility than the likes of "Most Haunted" with their shrieking crew and Derek Acora doing his ham acting!
I remember seeing a clip of this on a Danny Baker show when I came home from university while my dad was dying. It's a very evocative piece of film, ghost or no ghost (at those sighs have more power than all the special effects anyone could come up with).
As a team who do this 47 years later it's fascinating to see a basic investigation. Yes, we use all modern technology, however, it's essential that teams still continue to simply sit, listen and have a conversation. All too often, taps, footsteps or faint movements are dismissed but, maybe this is all the energy a spirit has to show they are there? Great clip. Thanks for sharing.👻👻
My mother grew up in a Victorian house and there were several happenings that could not be explained. As a young woman, she actually encountered a woman dressed in Victorian widows weeds. It terrified her as the woman was clearly distressed. She never felt comfortable afterwards and moved out soon after. My Grandmother lived on in the property until the late 70's. I used to visit and I loved the place, very atmospheric. Only one room gave me chills at the top of the house. I found out years later, that this room was were my Mum encountered the "spirit". So I would never dismiss the exsistenc of ghosts.
interesting to watch the documentary of the church , especially to see Peter Underwood on the case. Having read 3 or 4 of his books, I respect the man. He is no fraud, not like that Derek idiot we have on most haunted these days. thanks for posting this clip Glyn
Imagine sitting in an old church all night with the lights out? Someone with no prior knowledge walks in, in the morning, and finds a line of middle aged men in sheepskin jackets just sitting there. Weirder than any ghost.
It must have been around 1977 because i remember this and the Enfield Case quite clearly being very close in occurence at the time. I was only 8 or so as well yet this show forged my will to investigate activity!
It's interesting to note that all the investigators witnessed the "tiny points of light" by the curtains and heard the loud "thump." Not the delusion of senses of one person. Quite spooky if I do say so.
@@chris7921 Oh dear, so there are no psychic phenomena at Borley then? Spend the night in that church and get back to us. Go ahead. Bring your recording devices. Make sure you leave the door ajar.
This kind of show used to scare the shit out of me when I was a kid watching them when they aired. I couldn’t sleep. Im fine now I just drink loads of booze and take sleeping tablets. It’s great being an adult.
I live quite close to borly, years ago I use to ride my horse past the church,my horse was always nervous going past, once we were past the church she settled down, the church yard is quite interesting
Scary, and, I think, sincere. My ex-wife experienced frightening things in a house she bought which, although she did not know it until later, was widely believed to be haunted. I myself heard things at night in that house which scared me, but they were not as bad as some of the things she and many family witnesses heard and felt. I was able to identify one particular location on the property which felt most problematic, and when I told her she told me that that was where the particular event which was commonly associated with the haunting, an event about which I had heard nothing until then, had taken place. A couple weeks after buying the place and experiencing these things, her dad and a posse from his church came and prayed in the name of Jesus that the place would be cleansed from bad spirits. This actually seems to have worked, although my experiences in the place were later than that, but, as I said, they were not nearly as bad as the things experienced by multiple witnesses before the prayer session. Knowing my ex-wife, and the fact that it was completely out of character for her to claim to experience strange, paranormal things, and also knowing the other family members, and having experienced the things I experienced, I am entirely convinced that the place was genuinely haunted.
Thank you the upload : ) I have never seen this lol it makes me smile I am such a skeptic these days I guess I've been watching to much Most Haunted. Thanks again
Ghost hunting in its early stages! It's fascinating to listen to the team's findings - excellent EVPs included - and all captured on a very basic tape recorder! I wonder what they'd have thought/they think about the sophisticated electronic equipment used nowadays: eg: the spirit box, ovilus etc. It was interesting to hear a residual haunting being described towards the end of the video - a term which wasn't current in those days.
A spirit box is not *sophisticated* for goodness sake. It picks up frequencies from radio stations, hence random disconnected words and phrases that the *ghost hunter* shoehorns into the narrative.
what annoys me is this is a better documentery then the new ones to date. and this was NINTEEN SEVENTY FIVE...... thats right, in almost 40 years the quality of paranormal videos has gone down. {sigh} however at least theres a few good ones made to date.
@thehandsomedevils I think the curtain moved when he opened the door to the confessional box and the pressure of the door opening in, pushed the curtain out. thats my explanation.
"Echo of a past life?" I never thought about that this way. Maybe the nun, or woman, or whoever else she is - maybe she's living off her own life, somehow back in time and is hearing voices, seeing figures and so on. Maybe she's thinking the men came there to investigate are ghosts themselves. Maybe she's even praying for those "lost souls"... :)
2serveand2protect I said the exact same thing in a group just now that posted this. I've often wondered in my own experiences if there's a time anomaly or I'm a future ghost.
In the middle of the night the investigators hear rhythmic noises followed by loud male sighs. Was Borley Church the site of a beat, by any chance? ;-).
hello everyone my name is leighton barrable and me and my team having being carrying out paranormal investigations at Borley for the past year. We are in contact with eddie brazil who is a close friend of peter underwood who appears in this film. Please check out the Borley Scientific investigations group to listen to our recordings at borley and read our investigation reports.
Far, far more credible an experience than all the modern day ghost hunting video tripe of today’s standards. Just a shame the recording equipment back then wasn’t as good as today’s tech. The modern day ghost hunters, and there’s many hundreds of them on RUclips have driven any possible credibility surrounding the subject deep into the ground due to the nonsense fake trash that gets produced today.
It's truly easy to gather EVPs/ITC in one's own spaces. Tbh - tho it may seem silly - I believe positive thoughts and good vibes create the best outcome - with a relaxed, unforced presence. Happy trails 💫🦋
@@grumpygramps1451 Sorry for delay, was to busy never checked. Yes when I was 27 working at STL Laboratory’s in Harlow Geoff was working there in the store’s, he showed a book on Borley Rectory. He new that I was interested in Psychic Phenomena and had experienced a phenomena before. The idea was to see for ourselves wether the entity had truth, all if things were still happening. To cut a long story short the recording ( of which I have the original ). I am not sure how this came to the ear of a BBC film producer/writer of what we were doing in Borley Church and contacted Geoff to listen to the tape for authenticity, he proved that it had not been tampered with. His name was D Densham, not sure on the spelling, and asked if he could accompany us with more more professional equipment. He visited Borley a number of times and on the third visit we stayed locked in the church were a number of things occurred, we felt the entity join us, the atmosphere became extremely cold as it passed through the 3 of us, then something was thrown at us , followed by strange spectacle’s of light, I think I have a tape of this occasion. I would like to mention here that the first set of equipment refused to work although it was checked on entry. The second recorder had it’s tape pulled out. I could go on for weeks about the things going on at Borley over a period of five years, the research we carried out, library’s, Euston University were the Harry Price museum is housed, people, church yards, houses that we visited to find more information about the Bull family, The Forster Family, past occupants of the Rectory. I am 80 years old now although I don’t look it, and still researching, not Borley though, more things did go on at Borley than I have mentioned here, but the visits was not to convince others it was to prove to ourselves , not mention to be shared. In the end Peter Underwood got wind of it, we then visited him at the Ghost club in London, he was interested in what we had achieved. We are mentioned in his book The Ghosts of Borley, you can also Google Roy potter. Hope you enjoy, and I can honestly say there was no pulling of strings behind curtains.
So you didn't think to put a camera there, despite the whole programme being filmed by cameras? I think someone was pulling your chain and faking all these sounds
The obvious question surely is why wouldn't these people have cameras both for daylight and for the dark? It's ok producing noise after noise and moan after moan but that doesn't prove a single thing. Pictures would add more evidence surely.
Made in 1975 and yet we are still none the wiser, a lot of wishful thinking. People can easily have their senses and imagination stimulated with little Actual tangible evidence . I am still skeptical , especially with the modern Paranormal programmes which are made for entertainment rather than actual scientific research .
The marble nights by beyond midnight. Michael McCabe. Shapes drawn out, man size in marble. Many deeds done here. Don't get caught near them on All Saints,
I don't think that is supernatural. As the man is knocking on the wood, and you can hear the sound of something falling at 5:33. I think the movement is more due to his knocking on the wood and the falling of something inside.
Could the sighing and footstep noises have been made by a tramp sheltering for the night? I do remember this programme, but I was a kid when I saw it, easily impressionable when it came to the supernatural.
Here because Dr. Mark Felton recommended it! A worth while journey indeed.
I saw this in 1975 and the loud sigh was frankly disturbing. It still has kept it's ability to scare and if true it is one of the chilling pieces of paranormal activity claimed to have been recorded. Amazing to see it again.

These guys have serious balls.
First saw this one afternoon as a child in the 1970s. It made a lasting impression, especially the groan of whatever made it in the church.

@steve, more likely to say. Peter is unlike Harry Price
I remember watching this at the time; I was always fascinated by Borley Recory & the Church
Me too. Read about it in the 1980's

Borley is a profoundly-haunted site.
The Rectory was very haunted indeed.
I certainly would not go in there at night.
Was it buggery. It came out many years later that most of it was made up by Harry Price. The supposed “ghost Hunter”

March 2021 - would love to see new work due to sls cams and the rest.
Totally
I believe that the sighing is Sir Edward Waldegrave. And who can blame him. Poor chap.

The bearded chap is Peter Underwood - President of the Society for Psychical Research. This is NOT a hoax.
Not sure but I thought he was the Ghost Club president not the SPR

I straight up love the way that man calmy commented when he heard crashing sound. Balls.
Would love to see all these
The Celts called them 'thin places' where two worlds touch.
Beautiful and apt.
What great history in the Isles where you are.
Here's to peace in our 🌍🇬🇧❤️
*THUMP*
'Now that was fantastic'
Yeah I'm out after that one
I remember watching this with my family in 1975 but can anyone please tell me when this programme was actually transmitted?..thank you !
@thehandsomedevils I think the curtain moved when he opened the door to the confessional box and the pressure of the door opening in, pushed the curtain out. thats my explanation.
I live in Long Melford next to borley this is well creepy
Long Melford is itself a great place. Beautiful church and a very haunted pub apparently!
These guys were built of better stuff than me. I’ve would of shat my pants and cried for my mummy after hearing that ‘THUMP’!
Interesting and very good seems genuine enough
Love these kind of documentaries even though I do not believe in ghosts whatsoever. But I find it great viewing
"Echo of a past life?" I never thought about that this way.

To true, I should know I was there at the time of recording
@@tyggdrasil8698. You was there when this video recording was made? Please tell us more.

I did reply to you, but it looks like you never received the post, could you let me know please
3:11 onwards
excellent documentry can we have a modern investigation with the proper kits and not the most haunted team please!!!.
may t.a.p.s are worthy
@lordscully I suggest you google Mr Peter Underwood & the SPR before you go casting aspersions on his unblemished reputation.
very much so agreed, and all these stupid fake ghost videos on youtube doesnt help anything either.
So you didn't think to put a camera there, despite the whole programme being filmed by cameras? I think someone was pulling your chain and faking all these sounds
6:23 Turn up the volume and listen closely. Someone says “pull the string!” and seconds later there’s a loud bang! They’ve been pulling our legs.
Somebody says something, but it’s hard to make out the words. It was an audio recording, so there would be no need to set up a string to fake a sound.
There are faint EVP's on their recordings. Example: 6:33 "I'll reach out for you"
no that’s one of the other investigators i tbink
The obvious question surely is why wouldn't these people have cameras both for daylight and for the dark? It's ok producing noise after noise and moan after moan but that doesn't prove a single thing. Pictures would add more evidence surely.
@thehandsomedevils That is odd and seems to startle him too!
Mark Felton sent me here.
first evidences of evps.
So creepy sounds
I love how male the sighs are : )

Barmy old cack
Ah yes, the sound of feeling of groping and sexual abuse happening when the lights are switched off.
