Haunting Tales from Inside Prison Walls

- For this video, rather than give general overviews of prisons and their haunted reputations, I’ve picked out specific, mostly dated incidents, reported by the people who experienced them. As usual, I’ve chosen lesser-known stories, and I’ve also avoided obvious locations such as California’s Alcatraz and Pennsylvania’s Eastern State Penitentiary, because I feel the reputations of these prisons are well-established and have already been covered at length.

How's the audio? Too much bass? I can never seem to get those perfect rich tones other channels do.
Your audio is good.
Seems fine to me, thanks!
All good!!
More bass more booty. You can never have enough of either.
Great content as always.
Nice one, I only stay a couple of mile from barlinnie and I definitely didn't know it was haunted
These are so cosy to watch in bed when you’re having a lazy day
Exactly where I am now, under blanket, raining outside, cozy!...I think the Irishman, Myles Joyce doesn't look like a murderer..his eyes look too kind. It sounds dotty, but he just looks that way....if he was wrongly Hanged, that is so wrong...{This is why the Death penalty is a bad thing...Wrong person too easily killed.

When I was in Durham Jail some years ago , I asked the screw “ why are these cells bricked up ? He told “ they’re haunted and continued to tell me the tale of the only one he knew about and went on to say the guys were kept awake by something unseen pulling them out of bed or tugging at their clothing and their blankets “ . I asked around and sure enough everyone confirmed that the bricked up cells were indeed haunted . That scared me more than the 18 month sentence.
Yet another well presented video. I enjoy the way you narrate your videos. You always have such well researched topics and present them without all sorts of pretend spookiness included. Thanks for the great video.
Once a criminal always a criminal
@@P1mpMyBr1de That is probably the most idiotic comment I've seen on the internet so far this year!
@@P1mpMyBr1de Asshole, are you fr.... You don't even know the guy
Mark I was in Dartmoor for 18 months just under, I’ve been spiritual since my early childhood I’ve only ever seen one apparition and that turned out to be my grandfather who passed away about 3 years after I was born, anyway I’ve heard and sensed many spiritual activity over the years from hearing my sister call my name not long after was killed in 1991 on Christmas Eve to hearing a spirit singing a Christmas Carrol in the middle of a very hot summer, believe it or not, well anyway when I was a kid 14 years old, a bigger kid on our estate took me to London to visit his father who lived in West Ham, the next day we went to the West end of London and we found ourselves in a church called Saint Martin and the fields, we were in there for about 10 minutes and all of a sudden someone tapped me on the shoulder I turned round and it was a fucking huge copper, and he said to us come with me. well anyway we ended up in bow street police station, I remember walking up a dirty old iron round stairwell and at the top of the stairs there was a office called the matrons office, just along there was 2 juvenile cells then a doorway and a long corridor with all the adult cells, we were both put in cell number 1 and a little bit later on the door opened and the cop said to the other kid who was older than me, and said come on your first so I said first for what he said to get the train, so I said what about me and the cop said your going on the next train home he said, you ain’t going on the same train because you will run off, so he fucked off and I was in the cell on my own and all of a sudden I heard, a little girl softly sobbing saying mamama and it got louder and louder and softer then it stopped, so I banged on my cell door and shouted put her in with me, then I heard nothing else whatsoever, when they came to get me I remember looking down, at the floor outside cell number 2 expecting to see a little pair of daps but there was absolutely nothing outside the door, so we’re in the Black Maria on the way to Paddington station, there was 2 cops in the back with me, and all of a sudden I said to the cop that was talking the other one never opened his mouth, but I said why did you lock the little girl up, you should’ve put her in with me and as I said it, the cop looked straight at the other one and straight back at me and said what little girl Steve, so I said the little girl crying for her mum so he said no Steve you heard the ghost of the bow street cells I really that saying it sounds really corny, and I said what, so he said at the end of the reign of Victoria a little girl was accused of murdering her mother, and she was put in the cells for about 9 days and she died of a broken heart, and just after she died her father was charged with the murder. and he was hung that’s a gospel true story Mark and now I’m 58 years old mate and I often think about that poor little girl, and now they have turned the police station into a hotel and some of the cells have been used for rooms, but believe me Mark I really hope that they have knocked that call down and released her little soul and I said to the cop if I have the power when I die I’m gonna go to that cell and take her by the hand and take her to find her mother that’s all I could say when he told me what he told me I didn’t know what else to say or think, now I was in that cell altogether for about a hour and a half tops, and I heard her, and apparently that cell door has been slammed shut since the mid 50s, the last person to be in that call apparently ended up dying in a mental asylum, she’s not been heard or seen since the door was slammed closed, like I said a hour and a half and I heard her and nobody had since the middle 50s, yet I was in Dartmoor for nearly 18 months and I heard or saw nothing, yet I’ve heard spiritual activity all my life I really find that amazing to be honest with you Mark very amazing indeed mate. I was in the old punishment block E. Wing and i often expected that I hear something during the night but the thing about spirits they don’t just come out at night I’ve heard spiritual activity all hours of the day and night. Anyway they do say wherever there’s suffering there will be spiritual activity unfortunately Mark so I do believe you. I was walking up a very narrow corridor in Dartmoor and there was cells that looked like they had been dug out literally from the granite rock that looked like tiny little caves with a thin board of wood on one side of them for people to lay on and I said to the screw what’s this then boss the old punishment block and he said no it’s the old hospital wing fucking hell Mark I nearly fell off my feet when he said that haha 😂 I did as well. Take care of yourself buddy from Stevie boy
What I appreciate about your channel is that you don't try sensationalise any of the stories.
Very few youtubers are able to genuinely care enough about the stories they are telling, nor are they actually capable of holding anyone's attention for longer than 3 minutes.
Keep it up 😁
I’m from Zimbabwe and Masvingo has always been scary!
Hello fellow Zimbo 👋
At Fremantle Prison Western Australia with my Brother in law and his kids aged 5. We were in the execution chamber, when we noticed Jazzy was lagging behind. "Hurry up Jazzy." We said. "Sure Dad, just talking to the police man." She replied. There was no one else around, and certainly no one in a police uniform.
i remember when they finished building dreamworld going down the gold coast and they finished building a railway station which was near dreamworld my grandson at the time was a baby bout 10 mnths old sitting in his pram hes looking down the end of the station and waving this was about 7.00 at night i looked at my sister who was there she said whos he waving at there was nobody there brrrrrrr goosebumps
If I were wrongfully accused, convicted, and hanged, I would be haunting all the people involved. I would scare them into insanity.
Nah, I reckon you did it.
Totally understandable but doubt one would then ever find peace by clinging to all of that vengeance, pain & suffering
Yet another well presented video. I enjoy the way you narrate your videos. You always have such well researched topics and present them without all sorts of pretend spookiness included. Thanks for the great video.
I've always thought that's what makes these tellings so chilling
Yeah, I like the way he focuses on facts and research instead of trying to spin a yarn.
I really do enjoy these type of stories thank you
How interesting! I love ghost stories, especially ones about haunted places. Being American, I've heard stories of Alcatraz, but not the one in North Carolina, and definitely not about the ones in England, Ireland and Africa. Thanks for sharing the stories of lesser known haunted prisons!
This is my dream youtube channel. I appreciate the lack of sensationalism, the creator's healthy scepticism and admittance where stories are likely to be myth; I love that there is no weird "spooky" intonation in the narrator's voice; the stories are interesting and original, not regurgitated material everyone's heard before, and finally, Curious World doesn't patronise the listener, unlike many similar channels. Brilliant work!
Absolutely sensational video. Perfectly atmospheric & creepy music, intriguing content & superb narration. Thanks for all your hard work, Curious World!
I gave you a like....you EARNED it my friend!!
Thank you, Wendy.
Wow,,,a like......lol
Wendy Hocker i gave you a like wendy! 😍
Well done, superb recounting of some very believable stories.
Are they fiction?
About as believable as Dr Crippen's defence lawyer
I love that you put your sources for each story in with your credits. What I believe warants you respect are your thorough research into the stories that you present and your verbal disclaimers on whether you, personally, could go no further. I am happy that I found your channel!
Wow! Don’t worry about the audio, it’s perfectly fine. Your channel is the best in several categories. You work hard to make amazing videos. Keep up the spectacular work
I agree with you m8. I see what he’s alluding took tho, think it’s a load of expensive kit to get that final slick sound .
Ask some tech maybe . Well done 👍🏻
Thank you for the lesser known stories. For that unique perspective, you have my loyalty as a subscriber. I wish other channels would follow your lead.
Thank you my friend, for another awesome upload! 🙏💜👻💜
Cant get enough of your videos. I dont think there is one I haven't watched yet. Always full of so much information and enjoyable. Thank you for the new upload, eagerly await another
Keep up the good work, you deserve a lot more subscribers!
You should be bigger this stuff is great!!!your presentation is amazing.
This series is wonderful. Thank you for the research, the love and care in the writing, and the beautiful cadence of the narration. Well done. I learn history and also get a few ghost story palpitations. Love it!
Lovely and well done. I know of three former incarnations: none ever having been in prison. I'm so grateful!
A wonderful upload. The sound was great too. I love these spooky tales. Thank you so much and best wishes.
Excellent, well researched and original content as always. I'm subscribed to a hundred TH-cam channels, this is the one I most look forward to new content from and I've never been disappointed. Thank you Curious World!
I did a ghost hunt at Shepton Mallet prison, awesome night. Around 3am there was myself my daughter and 2 friends in B block and no one else was there, no lights on only what torches we had, as we made our way from one end of the block to the other, we were around 1/3rd of the way down and right in front of us dropped a piece of wood around 8 inches in length and like a piece of 3x2 it had come from above but what we couldn't make out is how this piece of wood came through the safety mesh that was above us. We did try to force this piece of wood through the safety wire but no way was this wood going to fit through. Like I said, no one else was in this block at the time. They have since found some under ground cells dating back to the opening of the prison in 1625.
Blimey. I've visited HMP Shepton Mallet during day time. If I had seen anything like that it would be more than logs I'd be dropping! Fair play to you.
I could and just may, listen to you for days and days and days. I love your style and subject matter. You do such an awesome job. God bless you! And thank you.
My favourite channel, love the content and the narration is second to none
I've just found this channel and rate it 💯
Just discovered your channel. It’s a long time since I’ve enjoyed watching programs as good as yours. Better than a lot of tv documentaries. Good commentary also. well done. Thumbs down, get a life you sad people.
Your videos are a breath of fresh air to me.
Binge-worthy, aren't they?!
Here here👍🏻
@@hi.moriarty found this channel last night currently on a binge lol
@@kevo3985 Oh, I love the feel of new content! Enjoy the Binge, Kevo! Relish It!
Thanks for covering less well known weirdness ! Great video as always ☺️
Perfecty uploaded for my bedtime
I love your channel. I rewatch your videos until a new one gets posted. Keep up the great work!
Another interesting story. I love that you use maps, by the way. I love maps and they help me with getting a picture of the events you describe. Sound is great! Keep up the good work.
Great stuff as always.
Fascinating, great to hear more obscure accounts. The 1st case was particularly harrowing.
Another awesome video. Your work is great. Thanks so much for all the time you put into these.
Beautifully presented, as always. Because the content and narration isn't overblown, a subtle unease sits with you and stays there, long after the video has ended.
New to your channel, and loving it! I am from England too and you’ve highlighted stories here- like the Secrets in the Attic- I’d never heard of. Brilliant!
Stunning work as ever!! Eerie beyond words
Great video and thank you for not doing the same old boring prisons that so many other channels do. 👍
Another very interesting video, thankyou. I binge watched you today and caught up on a few I missed.
Finally, I’ve found my new favourite channel. Absolutely love your narration ❤️❤️❤️
So nice to see gaol spelled correctly. Wow! And you said "hanged himself" not "hung". Bravo. 🎆👏⚖🗝
Curious Curiouser -- I always thought both "hang" & "hung" were proper, and just a matter of personal preference.😀
@@mousetreehouse6833 hung is for pictures, hanged is for executions.
This ant CNN sweetheart
@@williamchauncey8100 ant?
Yes! Thank you. Especially in re "hanged"-that's one of my major pet peeves, as is bad grammar in general, but that one really sticks in my craw and I watch a lot of true crime, historical and paranormal programmes and people are constantly being sent to the gallows or offing themselves.🧶
Thank you for not going over the same old stories from Alcatraz, eastern, etc. Subbed!
Great video,excellent narration,watched a couple of your videos, subscribed,now binge watching thank you.
These are such interesting stories. I would love to hear more of them.
Thanks for the video.
A lot of the older UK Prisons have a rich haunting history. Former friends who worked for a while in Wandsworth Prison said that many of the cells (and other buildings) had a lot of "unexplained goings-on", although nothing particularly unpleasant. The junction of Oxford Street and Park Lane in London is again "supposed" to be a hot-bed of paranormal activity - as you'd expect from the location of the former Tyburn Gallows, where many met their end. Hardly surprising that the Old Bailey is also quite the location, especially the aptly-named Dead Man's Walk, and many reported apparitions may date back to the days of the former Newgate Prison, upon the site of which the Central Criminal Courts were later built.
Very good job as always. I really enjoy your videos and look forward to watching them. They're always interesting and full of new information. It's not the same old stories again and again. Thank you!
I aim to cover new stories, thanks for the kind words.
One of my favourite channels!
How do you only have 193k subscribers, you should be at a million man. Your videos are so good, so well presented, and researched. Totally hooked on your channel!
I had the misfortune to have done time in Shepton mallet.It was cold dank and miserable. I worked my ticket to get back to Exeter prison where my Sentence originally started, that's another story.I never saw anything,just an air of despondency and grief which oused out of every nook and cranny,terrible place.
Found this channel by chance and I'm very happy I did you got yourself a subscriber thanks for the stories and best of wishes to you
Excellent video, love these types, for some reason i stopped getting all notifications etc so have missed for a while, have to catch up.
I had a weird experience at Bodmin jail in Cornwall , what's now a private house in Lancashire/Lancaster (?) Goosnark? And using the rods to find water in the witchcraft museum in Tintageal, i was shocked how forcefully they moved, still nut sure they've not got an electro magnet somewhere lol.
Brilliant channel as always. 😎☘️✌🏻
Thanks for covering the Shepton prison I’m not far from it. I know now they have a lot of interest in it ! People pay to stay and do seances and things this makes me fancy going
Bit ghoulish.
Really enjoyed this. Thx
Love your videos keep them coming thay make my day thanks
At last somebody who can actually narrate properly, great video too, thanks.
Appreciate your commitment to the obscure content, man. Keep it pushin.
Thanks, A. P.
Just in time for a good bedtime story! 🤗
Brilliant as always!
thanks for your superlative choices on a fascinating topic beaten to death by others.
Thanks very much... [Googles 'superlative']
I recently heard about "Squirrel Cage" Jail in Pottawattamie County, Iowa. It's a rotary jail, meaning its cells revolve inside the building on a regular basis. This led to a lot of inmates being killed by being crushed, etc because they'll have their arms sticking out between the bars of the doors. Apparently it's VERY haunted.
I just recently learned about the squirrel cage but I didn't know people had been crushed or killed
Great work.
I'm a new subscriber. I'm really enjoying your videos you're an awesome storyteller!
A great video, I really enjoyed it, thank you
Fantastic video my friend 👍🏻
Really enjoying your videos, thank you
Excellent video! Really interesting information there, it was great to hear!
Thank you, guys.
Absolutely loved this.
So enjoyable, well done
Great presentation,well researched and informative. Volume supureb with nice level tone throughout the video ...what other work do you do?
It is important to remember that prisons, by their very nature and the people that inhabit them, are like batteries for paranormal activity and spirit energy. Even after the facility closes, this energy does not disappear or cease, it is stored in every brick and stone of the facility and some residual haunting activity can replay itself indefinitely as even destroying the actual facility will not always mean cessation of the phenomena. Many spirits may remain in the prison walls because they fear having to be judged on the other side for their crimes and the inevitable punishment that would mean. They would rather remain in the place they were incarcerated then tempt eternal damnation and who could blame them for thinking that.It seems though that their fears are unwarranted in most cases and sometimes getting them to understand that will allow them to cross over and cease the phenomena. Sometimes, spirits haunt prisons because they simply feel comfortable there, delaying their crossing and keeping them connected to this earthly, physical reality where they should not be. If you think about all the energy, both positive and negative, that occurs in prisons it is little wonder that they are haunted even though no longer operating.There is also the question of the unmarked graves. We see activity of all kinds happening at places where rather than names, all the graves have are numbers. A local haunting at a county poor farm of a golf course placed at the location of graves of children with headstones that had only numbers bears this out. The ghosts of children were often seen by people out on the golf course, especially in evening hours. It was not until a local group found the burial records and put names to the numbers and placed a large sign in the cemetery giving the corresponding numbers their given names. After that, the sightings of apparitions on the golf course stopped.
You watch way too many movies, my friend!
I love these videos!
The sound is good, your narration is great
Loving your videos new subscriber x
Amazing photos of these spooky places. They really look like they would be haunted.
Great video. Good content
Well done video. Such tragic stories.
?
Touché to you. Absolutely brilliant as always. nz
Always enjoy your videos. The only complaint I have is I wish you had used a Kingston Pen story. lol.
I looked at Kingston, but all the write-ups were very general, as opposed to detailing specific events. Someone else mentioned this and have offered some stories from Kingston, so I'll include it in a future video.
I did not know the one from my home town of Galway. The site of the Jail is now where our Cathedral sits.
Loving the Channel, thanks!!!
Unfortunately the circumstances of the first case where the accused was unable to speak English and the British refused to supply an interpreter were far too common back then leading to many miscarriages of justice.
Great storytelling!
Oh, Lord, I thought it said "A-Hole Poltergeist" at first! And then I wondered if ghosts could be jerks. And then I made myself laugh by imagining all of the things a jerky a-hole ghost might get up to! (sigh) I need a life. :/
BTW, your voice sounds just lovely: nice rhythm and cadence, and your emphasis is perfect. Don't worry about "other channels" - you just do you! I envy you your fascinating accent! :) Washington State says hello!
It wasn't the A-Hall poltergeist that concerned me during the recording of this. It was the ghost who "touched their rifles" I thought would have people commenting.
Great stuff, thanks
Brilliant video. I was actually googling this topic on TH-cam sometime ago. The first story was so sad 😭😭😭
The loud noises in the jail will have been farting ! @7.38 is a perfect description of sleep paralysis caused by stress .
Great video
Interesting keep em coming
Thanks CW💜🤘👻
What a channel 🔥
You have a talent for storytelling
I can suggest Perth's Freemantle Prison if you ever do another video akin to this, even passing it by gave me a bad feeling :P
Great.great.great.keep them comeing.
Another great video. The audio is fine. In Final Cut, you can use audio enhancing to make it richer if you need to - seems ok though.
Thank you, I use Audacity sometimes.
Great topic ty
Love this topic- 🙏
One of the very few vid. producers whose audio is clear and not overwhelmed by special effects and Muzak. any music is unobtrusive and quietly adds to the narration. Other vid. producers take note. Credits his listeners with intelligence .Streets ahead of others.
Damn your videos are good.
