Shepton Mallet Prison - Ghost Hunt with Ghostly Nights

Unlock the Darkness of Shepton Mallet Prison

Behind the imposing walls of Shepton Mallet Prison lies one of the most chilling and historic sites in the UK. With over 400 years of use, this former Category C prison has seen executions, hard labour, and the lives of countless inmates come to a brutal end. Many believe the suffering of the past has left an indelible mark, with spirits still roaming its corridors, cells, and exercise yards.

From its use during the American Revolutionary War to the Second World War, and through its long years as a working prison, Shepton Mallet has been a place of fear, punishment, and despair. Today, when the gates close at night, it becomes a place where the echoes of its past are impossible to ignore.
