Hi, my family and I recently visited Bodmin Jail, it was absolutly fascinating. We took some photos of us in the stocks while we were there and when we put them on our computer I noticed that my son and daughters photos are clear but my photo has what appears to be at least 10 orbs the photos were taken within minutes of each other and with the same camera. We also took our two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and one of them was so scared and cried constantly that we had to take him out it really seemed as if he could sense something. Many thanks for a great day out, we found it so interesting. Nicola Gibbs.

Just visited the jail on 9th August with my family, it was raining hard outside, so set the scene.

OK I am not really a believer in ghosts or paranormal and I did not know anything about the jail previous to our visit. The place was certainly eerie and a couple of things really stuck out.

My son Zac is 15 months old and has been a little ill and miserable lately but still quite happy. But after visiting the lower level he was staring at one cell, as we went to go in he started shaking his head and wriggling out of our arms to move away from the cell he did not want to go in, we moved away and he was fine.

He was OK untill we visited another cell, I think it was a cell of some lady who murdered her newborn and here he did the same thing. My partner could not cope with him and took him out, as she thought he was playing up, but maybe he sensed something.

He also fell asleep unusually early and slept all night which is totally out of character for him, because of this we left early and came away with no pics. I also developed an intense headache when I was there which I put down to stress and being tired.

All in all maybe nothing in our visit but a spooky place, would like to go back.

Thanks for a great day out,

The Passey family

Just looking through the photo’s of our visit earlier today. To say I have an open mind and was pretty much S@$#ing myself on the upper floors is hard to explain. Our daughter who is seven was apperently pushed (which I saw and felt as she barged into me) no-one was there. There are loads of dark spots and orbs around the stocks on the 2nd? floor. Scarier still, the pictures of the building from outside have clearly visible figures in the window – even the the places where they have no floors? You can even see the weeds, trees and daylight behind these ghostly figures.

My Gran, Mum, Brother and I visited the jail in March. We had some weird experiences whilst there! On floor 4 we were Reading the signs outside the cells and my little brother suddenly screamed and started shaking and I asked him what was wrong and he said that he felt someone shove him and I said don’t worry it’s probably just your mind playing tricks on you, when about 2 seconds after I said that my scarf blew of and I heard a whisper in my ear. Which was very cold breath!

As we were heading to floor 5, my brother and I felt cold hands on our faces which we thought was a cold breeze, but as my mum took a photo of that spot we noticed a orb in the photo! Also I’m not sure which floor it was on but as we were reading about the Charlotte Dymond murder I felt very uncomfortable and uneasy like there was a spirit watching me and at that point my mum took some photos of that cell and some other cells around it!

After that we decided to leave and we went to have some lunch and look at our photos we had taken! We noticed on several of our photos there were freaky orb in the shape of men and one of just spooky mist! Thanks for Reading! X

As a member of the public going into the jail for a night with a paranormal group I was somewhat sceptical. Mark however was excellent, his knowledge of the whole place, its history was fantastic. The GPS team who ran the evening were also first class, so much so ive joined & have since become part of their tech team. Bodmin was great, I can’t wait to go back.

Hello!

Just a comment to say thank-you for the chance to investigate the jail. My small team, Ghosts…and More were invited under the Bristol Paranormal Research Group to investigate last friday (28th April 2010) and many of us were astounded at the amount of activity witnessed.

Although it’s a lot of activity we are after, it does make it difficult writing it all up in the report. Once it is done, we will certainly let you have a copy. We also have a few audio recordings and photographs of interest.

Mark was brilliant at looking after us all and very knowledgeable. To anybody reading this – individuals or paranormal investigation teams alike – this is one of the best places we have investigated, so we all fully recommend booking a place on the ghost tour or hiring it for your investigation.

Many thanks

Jason and the Ghosts…and More team

My Name is Lee Parker , I visited Bodmin jail last week with my wife Debbie , while we were there we took numerous photos and thoroughly enjoyed our visit , However when we arrived home and looked through the photos we noticed that a lot of the photos contains Orbs , and some as many as 5 or 6 in the same photo , We also have a photo on the cell next to the Gallows on the 2nd floor I believe it is the over crowded cell ? , when we looked at that photo there is a little boys face in it that is not a wax work and looks like either it is purposely put there embedded into the concrete wall by yourself’s or it is a ghost can you please clarify which one it is.. I am more than willing to send the photo to you if you request it . Finally while we were on the 5th floor looking through the spy holes to the closed cells , I felt something tug on my leg , I did not say anything , but told Debbie to stand there and have a look through the spy holes , it was only in the car later on that I asked her if she felt anything on the 5th floor and she replied yes something tugged on my leg , absolutely amazing . I would be grateful if you could reply and hopefully answer our questions.

Thank you for an amazing day out , will definitely visit again.

Hi there,thought I would share a spooky story that happened while I visited around 5 years ago when I visited with my husband and son(who was 8 at the time) in tow.After looking around the museum part we came across a “real sized” trap door gallows type exhibition (dont know if its still there,it was a while ago) and my son got up onto the gallows and pulled the trap door lever……….next thing we know all of the lights went out and we were in pitch darkness……so far so spooky,everyone that was wandering around started to go back up a slope at the end of the corridor where we could see some natural light.As I was walking towards the light I had the strangest sensation of someone putting their hands over my ears,it was a truely oppresive feeling,and one that I shall never forget.I know the lights going out was purely by chance,but weird all the same.

ever since i was a little girl i have always wanted to visit bodmin jail. this was enhanced by the most haunted visit . nearing my fourties i am happy to tell you my wish was made true and a stop on our way home from newquay was made to the imposing jail . all i can say was it was well worth the wait . as soon as you take the second door to the left the change in atmoshere is certainly apparent. we constantly felt unseen eyes watching us watching for anything . while looking through to a cell on the 3rd i become overwhelmed by a sadness i couldnt explain . i took a photo and another couple confirmed that he had been touched in the exact spot i was stood in as well . looking through my photos at home we have come across some interesting finds and we are hoping to do an overnight ghostwalk asap.
bodmin is a very creepy place. the atmosphere is freezing ( we could actually see are breath) but there are noticeable warm spots and a visit is a must.
if the whole jail thing doesnt appeal the warm friendly bar and restaurant will.

Hello , a group of 5 of us visited the jail sat 6th feb for the ghost walk . What an amazing night , the energy was oozing all night long . It was most certainly the most eye opening experience ive had so far , the history of the jail was so interesting . The feeling i felt in some parts of the jail was strange , and seeing shodows of light infront of me , and something breathing on my face was terrifying but excieting all at the same time . I also have lots of orbs and mist in many of my photos . Would love to visit the jail again for the ghost walk , when i have recoverd from this time . Thank you very much for a wonderful evening , i will highly recommend my friends to visit .
Thanks Rachel x
