Accommodation
You will be staying at one of Gloucesters most haunted buildings, the 15th century New Inn in the centre of this historic city. This building has more than a few stories to tell and as you meander through its uneven corridors and across creaking floorboards you will feel transported back in time...
Described as having the finest example of a medieval gallery in Britain, this beautiful building houses a cosy old world bar with beams and comfortable bedrooms, perfect for a weekend escape...especially if you like a ghost story or 2!
The New Inn is famed locally for its hauntings
In 1553 when King Edward VI died, Lady Jane Grey was proclaimed Queen from the first floor gallery at The New Inn by the Abbott of Gloucester, only to be beheaded the following year. Her ghost has been seen wandering the gallery near her bedchamber, appropriately now named 'The Lady Jane Grey Suite'.
Former "Queen for 9 days" Lady Jane Grey is said to roam the medieval gallery where she was proclaimed Queen
In 1896 2 children died during a fire at the inn along with their nanny. Their ghosts have been seen and heard playing in the courtyard, as their nanny still watches on from a window in the bar. The table she sits at is now at the centre of the pubs most well known paranormal activity as in 2010 it's believed she caused poltergeist activity when a full pint was pushed from a table when no-one was close by. This was captured on CCTV and a room full of people all witnessed the phenomena.
They say that the most haunted room in the hotel is the Oak Room. Guests and investigators staying in this room have reported seeing a man dressed in a dark coat standing at the foot of the bed. He is believed to be a former Landlord, and not a nice character! He appears through the wall by the wardrobe and looms for several minutes before disappearing through the other wall!
The cellars are foreboding, with some staff refusing to go down alone. Clothing and hair has been pulled and local paranormal groups have seen the figure of a man appear from what was the original staircase.
Staff at the New Inn have lost count of the amount of ghost sightings and reports of paranormal activity they've received, it seems there isn't a corner of this old coaching inn that doesn't have a phantom resident.

Gloucester Prison
HMP Gloucester has a long and foreboding history. The prison that we see today was originally Gloucester castle, by 1185 was being used as the cities gaol. Within 50 years it was the counties official gaol housing up to 350 prisoners. Over 100 'gallows' executions took place here between 1792 and 1864 and the bodies buried in the grounds in unmarked graves...where they remain to this day.
Some of the UK's most notorious killers, including Fred West, have been incarcerated within these walls.
Guests on investigations here have experienced terrifying phenomena ranging from the sounds of footsteps on the metal stairs to disembodied, bloody curdling screams and cries of horror.
During your time locked down in HMP Gloucester you will hear all about it's paranormal activity and take part in a range of experiments and activities in an attempt to communicate with those very many tormented souls who remain within these walls.
With so much death, pain and anguish, we can only imagine the horror absorbed by these walls.
This is an experience to test the nerve of even the most hardened ghost hunter but don't worry...you will be very well looked after.
How will you feel as you roam the corridors of this place of intimidation and punishment?
