Shrewsbury Prison, also known as The Dana, first opened in 1793. For over 200 years, these walls held thousands of prisoners, witnessing violence, suffering and executions, before the prison finally closed its doors in 2013.
One of the darkest parts of Shrewsbury Prison's history is its executions. Prisoners were once hanged in public, with thousands gathering to watch. The final execution took place in 1961, and the remains of executed prisoners have even been discovered beneath the grounds.
With such a dark history, it's no surprise Shrewsbury Prison has gained a reputation for being haunted. Visitors and staff have reported unexplained footsteps, disembodied voices, doors slamming on their own and shadowy figures moving through the prison wings.
One of the prison's most famous ghost stories involves a mysterious Shadow Man, reportedly seen wandering A Wing. There's also the legend of a Grey Lady and sightings of a young boy. Tonight, we're here to find out whether any of these stories have truth behind them.
