Closed in 2011, Ashwell Prison (formerly a WWII tactical base before its conversion) has long been a hotspot for reported activity. Skeptics and believers alike have noted the heavy atmosphere of the cell blocks and the feeling of being watched in the sterile, echoing corridors. When the lights go out and the public leaves, the "residents" who never checked out supposedly make their presence known.
These events are popular and often sell out quickly due to the limited capacity required for a high-quality investigation.
