A work of fiction?
5. April 2008
Although "Louis Mayerling" claims to have been in the thick of the fun at Borley, no one by that name has previously turned up in the ample documentation which exists about the Rectory's history, and most scholars have concluded that the book is a hoax. For entertainment only.
How he faked an account of the Borley haunting
25. August 2011
The author has apparently lived a life packed with event. The places where he has been, the eminent people whom he has known, the incredible things that he has achieved - wow! The name of Baron Münchausen immediately springs to mind.
Where the haunting of Borley Rectory is concerned, however, if you know much about the subject you only have to read a few of the chapters to realise that this book is a hoax. The chronology of many of his stories doesn't, as they say nowadays, "stack up"; neither do the explanations that he gives for many of the supposedly paranormal phenomena (whether or not these phenomena were really paranormal is another matter).
Having been a Borley enthusiast since my mid-teens, I bought this book very shortly after it was published and took it with me when I went to stay with my late mother for a few days. She found and perused it one evening while I was out at the pub, and on my return she said, "Do you mean to say that you paid £10 for that ridiculous book?" A pretty fair summing up of its value, I think.

Required reading for Borley fans
18. März 2007
If you like reading about haunted rectories, eccentric British clergymen and their bigamous wives, and pebble-flinging poltergeists, you'll love Louis Mayerling's "We Faked the Ghosts of Borley Rectory."
Maylering takes us behind the scenes at Borley Rectory, once touted as the most haunted house in England during its post-Victorian heyday when it was the abode of the Rev. Henry Bull and his numerous offspring. A frequent visitor at Borley, young Louis took part in the ghostly fun of "haunting" the rambling house and its spooky grounds. There are rare photographs of the interior of the rectory taken in the late 1800s, floor plans and exterior views.
The rectory's ghostly reputation grows with the coming of the Rev. Lionel Foyster and his frisky wife, Marianne. Reports of vanishing nuns and mysterious hails of mothballs capture the attention of the late, great ghost hunter Harry Price and the fun begins in ernest.
