Bodmin jail has stood since 1779, and in that time, it saw almost 150 years of suffering before it closed its doors for good.

To this day, people who stay in the now-converted luxury hotel, or visit the attraction, will claim to experience things they can’t explain.

Could it be that the prisoners who never got to leave, are making their presence known?
