Dating back to 1610, Shepton Mallet Prison is one of England’s oldest and most infamous jails, with a long history of executions, hard labor, and wartime use. Now open for tours and paranormal events, visitors and staff report ghostly apparitions, unexplained footsteps and chilling cold spots throughout the building. The prison is a frequent subject of ghost hunting shows and is considered one of the most haunted locations in the country.
