Littledean Jail

This is our second event at Littledean Jail. The first is completely full so make sure you grab your place now if you are interested in attending!

Come and join Weird Investigations as we objectively investigate the strange reports that come from Littledean Jail.

Littledean Jail; where unusual sightings have not only been witnessed at first hand by The Jones family who live in the jail but by many paranormal groups too. Allegedly one occasion saw the experience became so intense that one paranormal investigation climaxed with a fear of unusal and incomprehendable events; from museum exhibits shaking, lights flickering, and ending with complete loss of power!

Standing at the gateway to the Royal Forest of Dean, Littledean Jail was designed and built by the Pioneer of Prison Reform – Sir George Onesiphorous Paul and leading Prison Architect of his day – William Blackburn. As a result of the sudden death of Blackburn it was completed under the supervision of his new brother-in-law, architect William Hobson in 1791.

Behind the austere gatehouse entrance, the prison, with it’s formidable sandstone façade remains much as it was when first built. Steeped in history and infamy, its awesome appearance provides a stark reminder of the hard labour and craftsmanship needed to build this architecturally important jailhouse.

What will befall us as we spend the evening within the imposing building that hold so many tales of strange happenings. Will we get spooked, or can we get to the bottom of exactly what is happening?
