Shrewsbury Prison Ghost Tour: A Haunting Journey Through History

Step inside one of the world’s most haunted prisons and embark on a 5-star rated Ghost Tour that will take you deep into the chilling past of Shrewsbury Prison. This is no ordinary ghost tour—there are no over-the-top theatrics or gimmicks. Instead, we explore real, documented paranormal encounters and the eerie history of this formidable site.

Step Back in Time: What Awaits You?

Your 1.5-hour ghost tour begins at the Georgian Gate Lodge, where you’ll be transported to 1793, a time when public executions took place on these very grounds. As you follow your expert guide, you’ll hear chilling stories of how prisoners lived, the punishments they endured, and the countless ghostly sightings recorded over the past two centuries.

Prepare to walk the same dark corridors once patrolled by guards and prisoners, as we explore the most notoriously haunted areas of Shrewsbury Prison.

C Wing: The Heart of the Haunting

Our journey takes us deep into C Wing, widely believed to be the prison’s most haunted location. Here, visitors and staff have reported sightings of the “Grey Lady”, a mysterious figure said to roam the landings at night. Some have even glimpsed a small Georgian child, standing motionless on the steps before vanishing into thin air.

The eerie silence of C Wing, combined with these ghostly tales, makes for an atmosphere that is as thrilling as it is unsettling.

A Wing: The Shadow Man’s Territory

Next, we enter A Wing, where the legend of the “Shadow Man” looms large. Visitors often report the sensation of being watched or catching glimpses of a dark figure moving along the walkways. Your guide will share first-hand accounts of eerie encounters, adding to the sense of unease as you retrace the steps of this elusive spirit.

The In-Cell Experience: Do You Dare?

For those who crave a truly immersive paranormal experience, we offer the optional In-Cell Experience. You’ll be locked inside a prison cell for five minutes, surrounded by total silence and darkness. The only sound? The faint, distant echoes of unseen footsteps…

For an even greater challenge, you can switch off your light, embracing the complete pitch-black isolation that countless prisoners once endured.

Will you last the full five minutes?

The Governor’s Office: A Final Chilling Tale

Before we release you back into the safety of the outside world, our final stop is outside the Governor’s office. Here, you’ll hear the unnerving account of a Holby City production crew member who encountered the spirit of the Governor’s wife, who is said to have died over 200 years ago.

This eerie tale serves as the perfect ending to a night filled with mystery, history, and spine-tingling encounters.
