Event Overview
“Expect the unexpected. Expect nothing. Expect anything and everything. I guarantee you will leave with something interesting to think about!”
Kirsten, Bodmin Jail Paranormal Manager
The Bodmin Jail After Dark Experience is an all-night paranormal journey that will give you both spiritual and scientific understanding of the field of paranormal phenomena. Suitable for novices and experts, and those seeking ghost hunting tours in Cornwall, this is a physically interactive and enlightening experience delivered by our onsite Paranormal Manager, Kirsten.
The evening starts with a two-hour history tour with the lights on, delving into the many varied stories and experiences contained in the walls of the prison. Once the tour is finished, the lights go off and Kirsten will share a variety of techniques to deliver an understanding of energy connection, visual connection and transfiguration and trances. Kirsten will also go through the techniques of the Glass and Table, the Ouija Board and Scrying as mediums of interaction between us and the spirits.
This experience will run through the night until the last half hour, when you can use all the knowledge and techniques given throughout the night whilst experiencing the jail alone in the darkness.
Refreshments are served throughout the night in a series of breaks. A certificate will be given on completion of the night. A VIP scheme for guests who visit regularly is available with three award levels: Bronze (5 completed After Dark Experiences); Silver (10 completed After Dark Experiences); and Gold (15 completed After Dark Experiences).

Meet Kirsten
Kirsten helps visitors to Bodmin Jail understand the direct connections we can form and make at many different realms naturally around us, connecting them at earthly levels to high spiritual energies. Working with elementals, spirits, poltergeist entities and higher
spiritual realms, she uses her sensory perceptions including clairvoyance, clairsentience, clairolfaction, clairaudience, spiritual analysis and many more to deliver results beyond most people’s expectations. Kirsten can see, hear, feel and communicate at many levels, and she likes to share her theories, ideas and gifts with those choosing to spend time in her company.
“I have a love for the world around me,” Kirsten says. “Witchcraft and an understanding of the paranormal elements that surround us became a natural progression throughout my life, even from a young age. My perception, the ability to acknowledge, understand and work in a natural environment and connect beyond my years became very apparent early on. I chose to work within the walls of Bodmin Jail. Listening, perceiving, accepting and understanding the many elements locked within the walls allows me to share my extensive knowledge, offering a bespoke enhancement of psychic ability, spiritual awareness and communication skills with a hermetic viewpoint of our spiritual world. I work alongside energies, and they work with me!”

"I really need to tell you all what an incredible experience I had at Bodmin Jail for the After Dark event. I cannot recommend it enough for those that are sceptics or are just interested and fascinated by the paranormal world like myself. Kirsten our host was just incredible. She was so interesting and a very gifted lady. I saw and heard things I am finding hard to explain to my friends and family. I definitely will be booking again in the next couple of months. Thank you!" (F. White - September 2019)
"Thought we would do something a bit different for my birthday and I wasn't disappointed! After an amazing 3 course meal we met Kirsten who is so lovely and put us at ease. Her knowledge of the jail is incredible and she answered all my questions (and worries) I had. We experienced some things which were unexplainable and even my boyfriend who is a sceptic was feeling nervous! Overall a really good experience and something you have to do if you're into the paranormal or even just to learn the history of the jail." (S.Jade April 2018)
"This is a brilliant place to visit and the After Dark experience is excellent, Kirsten is a great host. When I last went, Kirsten took us outside to the execution area where I looked up at one of the Bodmin Jail windows and saw a lady looking down at us. I wasn't the only one who saw it, someone else saw the figure too, I so wished I had my camera to take a picture. Can't wait to go back and hopefully I will see it again and if I see her again I will certainly take a picture. Thank you Kirsten for a great night down in Bodmin, can't wait to return."
