Case Overview
What happened at Bodmin Moor Jail?
Bodmin Moor Jail (formally Bodmin Prison), opened in 1779, carries a long tradition of reported paranormal activity centred on the “Woollen Room” and the adjacent segregation block, where visitors and investigators frequently describe cold spots, whispering voices, and footsteps in empty corridors. The most persistent entity claimed by staff and paranormal teams is a tall male apparition with dark clothing, thought by some to be a former inmate or warder, often captured in EVP sessions and static camera footage during overnight investigations. Another recurring experience involves an unseen presence felt on the windy rooftop exercise yard, where sudden drops in temperature and unexplained thuds are said to occur even when the site is closed to the public.
