The Hanging Pit

The Haunting of Bodmin Jail

De: Richard Estep

Narrado por: Ronald Fox

In the middle of 21st-century England lies an old building that has been scarred by tragedy, suffering, and violent death. Built by prisoners of war more than two centuries ago, Bodmin Jail and the land around it have been the site of more than 50 hangings.

Thieves, murderers, highwaymen, and rapists all died at the end of the hangman's rope, with many of their bodies being buried within the jail grounds. it is unsurprising, then, that the jail has its ghosts. Even today, the restless spirits of those who breathed their last at Bodmin Jail still roam its hallways, lurk within its cells, and prowl the dank underground chambers.

Join author Richard Estep (TV's Haunted Hospitals, Paranormal 911, and Haunted Case Files) as he and a team of fellow paranormal investigators uncover the secrets of this historic, haunted jail.

Loved it

Once again Richard and friends did disappoint. Great investigation into a very interesting place with a horrible past.

Jailed Spirits

I was not very familiar with the Bodmin Jail, but these were some really interesting stories. I knew that harsh punishments were sometimes inflicted for very minor crimes, but some of the ones mentioned here just had me shaking my head.

Overall, good book.
