One of the most popular visitor attractions in Nottingham.
Take a step back in time...
Used for law enforcement for over 600 years, evidence suggests that the hall was first used as far back as 1375 by the Normans, who appointed a sheriff to keep peace and collect taxes.
What do we know?
Most famous for being a jail and a courtroom. Men, women, and children were sentenced and hanged for crimes as small as theft or transported to the colonies. Many, undeserving people lost their lives here, young, and old.
Paranormal Activity!
Recorded evidence of paranormal activity is rife… ghosts have been seen not only by staff but by visiting guest during the day.
So, what lies beneath?
The Court rooms. Light anomalies seen with the naked eye, dark shadows and cries have also been heard, are these the cries of those found guilty?
The Cells. During an investigation, a guest had to leave the area due to a pressure round their neck and other guests feeling a clamminess followed by extreme cold.
The Caves. Our medium had a personal encounter with the spirit of a prisoner… will he show up again?
Questions, and there are many!
Whose spirits still linger here? What was their connection to this amazing building? Were they guilty or innocent?
