Lionel died in 1945. Marianne then married an American G.I. - Robert O'Neil from Minnesota - and adopted me. I became Vincent O'Neil, and we came to America in 1946. Many books have been published about my mother, including Widow of Borley by Robert Wood. It wasn't long after that book appeared that I became known as "The Son of Borley."
One of my mother's favorite movies was "Psycho."
She was a woman of many contrasts.
Several coincidences are scattered throughout the Borley Legend and my own life.
