Borley Rectory

Given that many of these places are not up for sale, I don't understand why those in charge (or employed there) don't freely volunteer information about any unusual phenomena; it's not as if they're afraid of putting off potential buyers.

Many are afraid of putting off potential customers who are scared of the idea of ghosts though. I was the night porter at the haunted The Red Lion Hotel in Cromer, Norfolk and the then owner wouldn't allow me to give a local ghost team a private tour of the place for that reason. So I did it anyway when she wasn't about.
 
Oh, I assumed that the public would be really interested rather than frightened. Naive of me, I guess.

It's a sound point, I think: even some of the people I know literally refuse to talk of ghosts, because it seems that even the very idea of their possible existence scares them.

A spirit box, as discussed here previously, is a radio scanner which sweeps whichever broadcast range it can & picks up snippets of random stations as it does - could be snatches of music or speech. The idea that somehow ghosts or spirits can use it to ‘break through’ to leave messages or communicate seems vanishingly unlikely to say the least, or to put it another way, total bollox.

There's that other one called something like the Ovulus, used on that bastion of truth and integrity, Ghost Adventures, in which a spirit can choose from a list of random words to channel through said device....

Just watched Borley Rectory on Netflix, thires also "Haunting at the Rectory"
on the same channel that is worth a look.

Also, these people being buried will have died elsewhere and aside from fresh graves being dug, churches and churchyards are very stable places and many of the best ghost and poltergeist cases come from buildings and other locations that have undergone change

Well maybe the exception proves the rule, a graveyard ghost from 2016:

Woman in Brown Mac​

Location: Epping (Essex) - Epping Cemetery
Type: Unknown Ghost Type
Date / Time: November 2006, around 14:30h
Further Comments: While at their family grave, one witness spotted a woman wearing a 1930s style brown macintosh and scarf standing nearby. As the witness started to walk away, the woman followed, moving at a quicker pace. The witness realised that the woman was hovering and appeared to have no feet, although kept walking anticipating the figure would catch up. Looking back again, the witness realised the figure had vanished.
