Shepton Mallet Prison is set to offer brave visitors a chilling new experience with its Ghost Hunting Behind Bars events, starting in February 2025. Known as 'The World's Most Haunted Prison,' the historic site is inviting the curious and the courageous to spend a night exploring its shadowy corridors and haunted rooms.

The event promises an evening packed with paranormal investigations, historical intrigue, and the tantalising possibility of supernatural encounters. Led by an experienced paranormal team, participants will explore some of the prison's most notorious and supposedly haunted areas, including The Gate Lodge, B-Wing, A-Wing, and the chilling Execution Room.

Visitors will be armed with specialised ghost-hunting equipment to detect and communicate with spirits. From EMF readers and crystal pendulums to the classic spirit board, guests will experiment with various investigative techniques as they search for signs of paranormal activity.

The bravest attendees will face a particularly spine-tingling challenge as the clock strikes midnight: the chance to explore the entire prison in total darkness, with only the spirits for company.

Organisers promise a mix of historical discovery and ghostly thrills, making the event ideal for both experienced ghost hunters and first-timers eager to delve into the prison's eerie secrets.

Shepton Mallet Prison, which dates back to the 17th century, has long been a magnet for paranormal enthusiasts due to its dark history and chilling tales. From its days as a house of correction to its use as a military prison during wartime, the site's past is steeped in grim stories and reported hauntings.
