About this investigation
Ghost Hunt Shrewsbury Prison Deposit Option Available It is branded as one of Britain’s most haunted places, a prison famous for executions and other disturbing events. With more than 130 years of incarceration, murder, suicide, and execution, it is no surprise that this building is haunted. From the Victorians to the 21st century. What went on behind the high prison walls? Are you brave enough to join us for the ultimate ghost hunting experience? We will take you inside one of the most chilling places for enthusiastic ghost hunters. Paranormal encounters have been described within this Prison, and the most oppressive atmosphere when you first enter the door! Public Hanging The last public hanging was on 11 th April 1863, when 30-year-old Edward Cooper was executed for murder. To this day, the area where these hangings took place has been the site of ghostly encounters. Whose spirits are still within its walls? Mysterious shadows and unexplained noises have been seen and heard. A ghostly apparition has been seen numerous times and is referred to as the ‘Shadow Man.’ No one is sure who he is, but he is known to lurk in the Prison’s A wing; many believe he is a former prison officer. With so many areas to explore and investigate behind bars? Will we uncover the spirits that still walk the corridors, join us as we take you behind locked doors for a Ghost Hunt at Shrewsbury Prison?
