If you’re looking for a unique Christmas gift, this spooky Prison Ghost Tour for Two might just be the perfect present.
The ghostly tour at of one of the world’s most haunted prisons is on offer for Black Friday and is less than £25 per person with Virgin Experience Days.
Shepton Mallet Prison, a 17th century building that served as a correctional facility for almost 400 years, runs ghost tours throughout the year where you can delve into the truly sinister and supernatural background, reports SomersetLive.
Led by knowledgeable tour guides, you’ll delve into a ghostly world of spirits, taking in the strange, spooky silence that fills the grounds as your guide shares ghost stories, legends, and even spooky encounters that regularly occur.
Listen in horror as you’re told the sinister side of jail life including torture, murder and hangings. You’ll also learn about one of the most legendary spirits, the “White Lady”, a heartbroken murderess known to sweep through the wing, bringing a cold wing in her wake, and reportedly taunting prison staff and inmates.
You can also explore unmarked graves as well as C Wing, the former female wing, which is rumoured to be one of the most haunted locations within the prison. It is also of special interest to many ghost hunters, who hope to catch a glimpse of the hand of the legendary Ronnie Kray.
On arrival, you’ll meet your knowledgeable guide ready for your ghost tour of the prison by torchlight. It is advisable to dress warmly, wear sensible footwear, bring a small torch… and perhaps have someone’s hand to hold.
