My husband and I visited the Jail last Friday morning. I didn’t find it that spooky, although I didn’t like the feelings I got as I entered the cells, very small and claustrophobic.
My partner and I visited the Jail on Wednesday and again on Thursday, last week.
I myself am quite sceptical regarding anything paranormal, but my experience of the visit has posed quite a few questions about my own beliefs.
Both my partner and I experienced a terrible headache and an overwhelming feeling of being looked at, especially in the old Naval sector of the prison.
The Thursday seemed to feel better although we were the only visitors at the time! The atmosphere still felt quite peculiar.
We took a number of digital photos in the naval sector and throughout the interior of the prison and these photos do appear to have some interesting anomalies.
We look forward to booking for the overnight with Mark Rabin!
Dispite feeling a little strange while walking through the jail my partner and I were still not convinced it had lived up to it’s haunted reputation. It wasn’t until we got home and plugged in the camera and saw multiple orbs and faces that were not there when we took the pictures. Now we believe there is more to the jail than first meets the eye. We hope to return soon for a spooky night time tour!
I have been to the jail twice now, once when I was about 10 and then again this year . When I revisited I felt so uncomfortable especially on entering the cells. There were many times were I entered a cell and had to leave immediately. I believe there is something deeply disturbing about the place but I would not have the guts to go at night!
I visited Bodmin Jail and found it very spooky, watching the second Most Haunted video just now I had the sudden feeling of shortness of breath – very starnge! I would love to take a night tour!
I came to Bodmin Jail a few years ago now and I could sense spirits indifferent areas, some places were hot and cold, some places I felt safe other places I didn’t. I also had a picture taken in one of the cells which where I knew that there was a spirit present and then when we got home to look at the picture there was a white misty figure in the corner of the cell which was just behind me in the picture.
We came down to the jail from Plymouth in 2007 and caught what we think is the ghost of a preist on film. Upon entering the building I said “preist” and had no idea why I felt there was a religious presence. You can have a look for yourselves. There were three of us and nobody was in the cell and there were no windows to cause reflection. When watching the video we saw what looked like a preist holding in the cell window. We only found it when we got home that evening.I later heard that the spirit of a murdered preist apparently haunts the gaol. If you fancy having a look and giving us your opinion here is the video.
I visited Bodmin Jail about a year ago with 2 friends. We did a night tour and could hear tapping in various places around the cells (we were the only people at the time in the tour areas). Although we were scared, it was nothing compared to looking at the photos when we got home. There were orbs surrounding one of my friends on all of the photos of him from different areas of the jail, and were also photos of smokey figures of which we couldn’t see beforehand inside the jail. We recorded a video when walking around the outside cells trying to be as silent as possible, when we listened to it back at the very end of the film you can hear “slash slash slash”, we were all together at the time so know it wasn’t us. It could have been a draft but who knows!? Very freaky! Definately want to go again.
Myself and a couple of my school mates, back in the late 80’s early 90’s spent the night at Bodmin Gaol as part of a ’sponsored spook’ event. I’m not sure if this took place on Halloween or not, can’t really remember.
We spent the whole night in complete darkness in the main block amongst the original cells and the ‘display’ cells which you can see clearly on this MH footage on this page.
All we had was a small ration of food and drink (non-alcoholic) and some candles, my memory tells me that we didn’t take any torches etc…
It was the most spookiest experience of my life, one which, given the choice, i would probably do again, although the thought of it still fills me with fear.
We were all huddled together in the main hall (between all the cell doors) in sleeping bags and were teasing each other about noises and sounds which could be heard. Alot of it was a ‘wind up’ situation until we heard a repeating knocking coming from the floor above. Myself and a couple of my friends went up to investigate and found the fire exit door (the type with the push-bar on it) It was banging back and forth, despite that it was a clear, good night and no apparent wind.
We did approach the doors whilst cleaning the poop off the floor which was trailing behind us ( ) we pulled the door and slammed it shut and made our way back to the main block building again.
When we got back we explained what the noise was and continued to sit it out.
No suprises what happened next…..the banging started again……read the above two paragraphs again and I SWEAR this was true, it was open again. It took one hell of a slam to shut it., the sound reverberated around the whole building when we slammed it shut.
Now read the last 3 paragraphs again, NO KIDDING….this happened about 3 or 4 times until, at about 4am, we bottled it and left the Gaol all holding hands and pooping ourselves.
Now I am the most sceptical (sp?) about this paranormal/haunted activity, I want to believe it happens but have never really experienced any direct activity myself. This was certainly a life changing experience, although as time moves on, i am now not sure whether it could have been someone from the Gaol playing tricks with us. BUT, if you can’t get this out of your head then you’ll never believe….
We were walking around and my friend started to feel really faint, so we went outside to get some fresh air. As we left, we heard my name being shouted, so we turned around to see who called me, but no one was there. 10 mins later we went back in to find no one else was in there which was very eery. We carried on looking round until something hit me in the back, causing me to scream in pain. I never did find out what it was.
I visited Bodmin Gaol today on the way home from our family holiday… when we were in the main hall i was fine… but then we went down a floor into the darkened cells and the temperatre dropped suddenly and i got a splitting headache as soon as i stepped of the steps… i was the only one in my family to get these symptoms when we went even lower i couldnt breath very well and my headache got worse.. i went into a cell with my mum and had to get out immediatly cause i felt like i was about to faint… when we got into the light and up to the tower i felt fine…when we left the gaol completely my headache went straight away… it was the mst spookiest place ive been in my life and it felt so eery even in broad daylight…i hope to return some day when im older and do the paranormal evening.
Very eerie, I had feelings of intense claustrophobia and shortness of breath. Very strange.
