After that, Harry Price entered into a rental agreement with queen Anne's bounty, the property's owners, for a period of one year. After placing advertisements in the Times newspaper and conducting personal interviews, Price recruited 48 official observers, most of whom were students, to spend the night of Borley, mostly on weekends, with the specific instructions to immediately notify Price of any occurrences.
After a thorough investigation, Helen Glenville, a woman, conducted a planchette seance in Stratham, south of London. Price reported that the woman had made contact with two spirits, the first of which was Sister Maria Laier, a young nun.
