ghosts of the gaol

Some people find themselves unable to go into the cells, reporting bad feelings. Some that do, later leave hurriedly, telling of suffocating feelings, being 'pushed down', and feelings of darkness and sickness. One visitor was so badly affected that she was physically sick.

One gentleman claimed to have witnessed something rather disturbing in one of the cells: Namely two dead men hanging from a fixed beam inside the cell. The men were reported as facing the doorway, but turned slightly inwards towards each other, just hanging there. They appeared to have been approximately in their late twenties to early thirties.

The condemned cell has long been an area which has caused discomfort to visitors. Some people have reported 'neck restriction' and feelings of suffocation.

Two ladies on one occasion, left the Gaol in tears clutching their throats and feeling unable to breathe. The had felt that 'something' was around their neck. On the way out of the Gaol, they passed a figure standing by the door, whom they incorrectly assumed was an actor. He was bald and was wearing a sleeveless leather outfit which the ladies described as looking like a bodywarmer type garment. This same figure has also been seen in the dayroom, quite disturbing one of the female eyewitnesses who described it as 'evil' and 'a murderer'.
