Borley Rectory in Essex, England, after the 1939 fire.
My most recent book is about my experiences with earth-bound ghosts in England while I was on vacation. It's called "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation." Although I didn't visit the Borley Rectory's remains, you can read about the ghostly activity there, thanks to this article from the Daily Telegraph.
It's a haunting that continues to happen at the Borley Rectory and how a ghost started a fire that severely burned the structure.
Here's the story: Fire did not stop ghosts when England’s most haunted house Borley Rectory went up in flames

Captain
William Hart Gregson had recently taken possession of the creepy house
in Essex, knowing full well its reputation for spooky, unexplained
events. Although he had renamed it simply “The Priory” most people knew
it as Borley Rectory, the most haunted house in Britain.
Gregson planned to turn the mysterious manse into a tourist attraction. The
strange occurrences at the property continued. Doors left locked were
suddenly found unlocked. A large cover placed over a well in the cellar
was later found tossed aside.
Borley Rectory in 1892.
Then, according to Gregson, on the night of February 27, 1939, 80 years ago today, the ghosts
got up to their usual mischief — but with more serious consequences.
While sorting through some books at the house Gregson saw a stack of them fall, despite being firmly placed.
The books knocked over a paraffin lamp, spilling oil across the floor, which then ignited.
Unable
to do anything about the fire, which quickly became too big to control,
the captain phoned the local Sudbury Fire Brigade. By the time the fire
engines arrived the house was well alight. The firemen extinguished the
flames but not before they had destroyed the upper storey and damaged
most rooms on the ground floor.
A
policeman who had attended the fire later questioned Gregson about the
identity of the “lady and gentlemen, in cloaks” he had seen leaving the
house as it was burning. He assured the policeman he was the only person
at the rectory.
It was a spooky end to the infamous house, which had been scaring people since the 19th century.
The
building had even attracted the famed psychic investigator Harry Price,
who had spent a year researching the ghosts of Borley.
But after the fire the building would never be rebuilt.
Undated photo taken after the fire
The
rectory was built in 1862 as a home for Reverend Henry Dawson Ellis
Bull, the rector of Borley. It was constructed on the site of a former
Georgian rectory that had burnt down. Bull had the remains demolished to
make way for his house, designed by Frederic W. Chancellor. There the
reverend raised his family of 14 children.
The
first records of hauntings date from the 1860s when servants and locals
reported hearing footsteps and seeing ghostly figures in the grounds.
Bull’s daughters said they often saw a nun walking through the garden.
When they tried to approach she faded away and vanished.
A
legend grew that a monk from a 14th century monastery that once stood
near where the rectory was built fell in love with a nun from a convent
in Bures, 13km away. When they tried to elope they were caught. The
priest and an accomplice who drove the monk’s coach were executed and
the nun bricked up in a cellar.
The
story was later shown to have no basis in history and was most likely
the concoction of Bull who liked to tell his children ghost stories. But
the stories inspired people to report seeing headless priests and
coachmen as well as a wandering nun. A particular path through the
garden became known by locals as “the Nun’s Walk”.

When
Bull died in 1892 his son Harry took over as rector. The sightings
continued but didn’t seem to bother Harry, who is said to have built a
summer house with a view of the Nun’s Walk so he could look out for the
nun taking a stroll. He stayed in the house until his death in 1927.
When a new rector, Guy Smith, moved to the
house in 1928 he found a package in a cupboard containing a small
female skull. No explanation of where it came from was ever found. Smith
and his wife also reported hearing strange noises and seeing ghosts.
The Smiths got in touch with a newspaper which contacted the Society for
Psychical Research (SPR) who sent Harry Price. Once a magician who
specialised in uncovering fraudsters, Price had taken to endorsing
psychics he believed were genuine. He had also become one England’s
pre-eminent ghost hunters.
Price first
visited the house in 1929. He was unable to do anything about the ghosts
and the Smiths moved out. It was a year before Reverend Lionel Algernon
Foyster was found as a replacement for Smith. Foyster was also troubled
by ghosts and left in 1937.
Price
had become fascinated by the house and continued visiting during
Foyster’s time there. When Foyster left he rented the house for a year
to conduct research. He later wrote a book about the property, but many
of his findings are thought to have been fabricated.
Gregson
had hoped to capitalise on the fame brought to the house by Price when
it burnt to the ground in 1939. It was demolished in 1944 but people
continued to report seeing ghosts.
Like most people with the gift of the cure, Rebecca takes no money Cr; BBC News
People use energy to heal every day. Energy healing is also known as the practice of Reiki. I've experienced it, and it works. Last month, BBC News interviewed a woman in Ireland who has been healing people for a long time. Although neither she, nor the article mentions Reiki, it seems to me that is what's happening here. What do you think?
In today's blog, you'll read about her, and find out what Reiki is all about.
WHAT IS REIKI? Reiki is a form of alternative medicine called energy healing. Reiki practitioners use a technique called palm healing or hands-on healing through which a "universal energy" is said to be transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the patient in order to encourage emotional or
physical healing.
THE BBC ARTICLE:
What's it like to have the gift of 'the cure'?
On any given day, the phone calls start early and continue late into the night at Rebecca Hamilton's County Donegal home. From an initial hello, the caller quickly moves to ask is she "the woman who has the cure" .The question finishes depending on their ailment. The cure might be for shingles, ringworm or mouth ulcers.
Rebecca is quick to ask those who ring what medical help they are getting - if they say none, she tells them they should.
Once she was asked to cure a flock of sheep of the contagious ovine skin condition orf. "I never knew I had a cure for that," she told BBC News NI.
"But he rang back three days later to say it had gone," she said.
She's had the gift of the cure for more than 40 years, after being given it by an Irish man she met on holiday.
Right across Ireland, there are people like Rebecca, said to be able to cure a host of common ailments. This is a land where local belief suggests water from certain wells or even soil from specific graveyards has healing properties.
The cure - seemingly part folk tradition, part faith healing - predates Christianity.
In a world of modern medicine, many people's belief in the cure persists. The secret prayers and set of actions involved have been passed discreetly from one healer to the next. In spite the cure's pre-Christian origin, Rebecca's methods are based in prayer and a belief in God.
At her home in St Johnston, her family joke that "she says more prayers than the Pope".
How she came to have the cure is a "long story", she says.
"We were on holiday in Austria, maybe about 40 years ago, and we fell in with an older couple. "She had fallen and broken her elbow and her husband Jack couldn't help her into toilets or things like that, so I did.
"We got talking, started to spend meal times with them and they told us Jack had the cure for shingles and ringworm. "My own husband Tom would often take people to a lady close to where we lived to get the cure. "It was something we had a belief in and knew all about.
"
Jack was in his 70s then and they had no family - I said to him that he would have to pass it on before his time came. "He came down to breakfast the next morning and said: 'Rebecca, I've been thinking over what you said and I want you to take it.'"
Over the 40-plus years since, Rebecca has seen and spoken to thousands of people seeking the cure. In days gone by, she would visit people in their homes or they would come to her.
For shingles, she circled the infected area with a pen knife.
For ringworm, a lit candle was used in the same way.
It was what Jack had instructed her to do.
All the while, she recites two secret prayers passed to her by Jack - they have been kept secret to this day. The only thing she needs to know to administer the cure is the person's name.
Working with a lit flame close to human skin scared Rebecca initially.
"I was scared to burn someone but one day a man that lived close to us told my daughter about his wee girl who had ringworm and she said to bring her up. "I didn't want to use the candle but I did, I saw him a few days later and asked how she was - I asked if she had been taken to a doctor. "He said: 'There was no need Rebecca, sure didn't you cure her.'"
In the years soon after Jack passed on his knowledge, Rebecca's fame grew so much she "didn't have the time to get around everyone". "Mostly I do it over the phone now, it seems to work just as well," she said. But Rebecca insists the cure belongs to God. "You say the prayers, mention the person's name and then it is with God."

Getting a thank you note is the nicest thing that anyone could do. It's not that we look for thank yous, but it feels good to know that we've helped make someone else feel good in some way. Below are some nice notes of appreciation I received from folks (that they posted on my public facebook page - so I just copied and pasted them here) after I provided some messages from their pets in spirit.
Make someone's day and send them a thank you note. I appreciate these notes and am so happy that my messages and the Pets and the Afterlife books have provided some comfort. - Rob Gutro
NOTES OF APPRECIATION
Rose Nails I lost 2 dogs (kids) within 48 hours of one another last month and I was devastated. I needed to know they were okay so I asked them to show me signs that they were still around so now they come visit me almost every night jumping up on my bed and snuggling up in their usual spots. I even got to see my Malley and she was so beautiful and young and didn't have that ugly tumor that took her life or gray hair! I now know that my dogs never left, are still with me and will be there for me when it's my time. I will be getting your books because I'm interested in learning to recognize other signs from them. Thanks Rob!
Kimberley Walker Hasness Rob, you are indeed a wonderful gift to this world. I can never thank you enough for helping me to understand and connect with my Bailey. My life has truly changed because of you. ❤️

My latest book is called "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation" (by Rob Gutro) and conveys
all
of the ghosts I met as I traveled throughout England. There are a
LOT more ghosts in England that I did not (yet) meet, and here is the Seventh of several postings from Devonlive in Devon, U.K about some of
them.. - Rob
Crazywell Pool has mystic powers at night but turns into a 'pop up lido' by day
This pool in Dartmoor has been said to be bottomless with
mystical powers. If you simply stare into the water on Midsummer’s Eve,
legend claims you will see the next parishioner to die in the water. One
Midsummer’s night the legend was being told in an inn and a challenge
was laid to go to the pool. Two boys went, and died on their way home.
It is actually an old shallow-cast mine, which is fed by a natural spring and is now a popular spot for wild swimming.
The pool is high up on the moors, so expect to be exposed to the
elements, and be prepared for the water to be cold. The area enjoys
uninterrupted views across the moors, making it the perfect place to get
back to nature, floating in the breeze, listening to the birds.
In
2012 the Dartmoor beauty spot turned into a 'pop-up lido' for a group
of Devon's hardy wild swimmers complete with an art installation
consisting of a portable lifeguard's chair.
Between 50 and 70
people took part in the 'living artwork', setting up deckchairs and
towels around the 'pool', swimming, picnicking and listening to their
portable radios.
Earlier this month, Host, Julie Sav of The House of Mystery Radio show
had me, Rob Gutro on to discuss my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's
Vacation." They also talked about my books "Pets and the Afterlife 1
and 2" in the beginning of the show.
The show was just re-broadcast (and is a podcast) through Pippa, and now you can hear the 1 Hour podcast

Every Tuesday, my friend Joy Andreasen brings us Tarot Tuesday and today it's the 9 of Pentacles. Joy says: I love this card! To me this card speaks of women who are empowered,
successful, and capable.We know who we are and we enjoy the finer things
in life. This isn't just about wealth or "stuff". It is recognizing who
we are and expecting the Universe to come into alignment. Be that. Biddy Tarot provided keywords and the card's meaning: https://www.biddytarot.com/ KEYWORDS:
Upright: Abundance, luxury, self-sufficiency, financial independence
Reversed: Self-worth, over-investment in work, hustling
MEANINGS AND DESCRIPTION:
The Nine of Pentacles shows a well-dressed woman standing in a beautiful garden. She wears a flowing, golden robe and a red beret, signs of her wealth and social status. The vines behind her are heavy with grapes and golden coins, representing the fruitful accomplishment of all her desires. Her right hand rests upon one of the many coins, and her fingers wrap around the purple grapes on the vine, symbolising her healthy relationship with money. She can enjoy the fruits of her labours without overdoing it. A hooded falcon sits calmly on her left hand, signifying the woman’s intellectual and spiritual self-control. Far in the background is a large house, presumably belonging to the woman herself, a further signal of her abounding wealth and financial plenty.
