One
of our real ghost encounters videos was
captured in Bodmin, Cornwall.

Bodmin Jail is located on Berrycoombe Road in
Bodmin and was opened as a county prison in 1776. It is a favorite
of paranormal investigators due to its history and the grisly excutions
that occurred there, the last of which was held in 1902. It is of
historical significance and is currently undertaking restoration.
One
of our visitors, John H. from Plymouth, Devon, submitted his ghost
video to us. When we requested more info about his submission, this is
what he said:
"I was told to write more about my story...well we ended up in Bodmin
Jail as a day out. Me, my sister and my friend
enjoy visiting old places. We've also been to Berry Pomroy Castle and
the Jamaica Inn and also have an interest in the paranormal.
"So
as always, I took my camera as I do on trips and we show up at Bodmin
Jail and check head around to the actual prison block. Half of it says
'No Access' so we didn't go in there (until our next trip). In the full
film version, I am shown filming each cell individually, and I also
pass the camera over to my friend to do some filming. Once I get the
camera back, I head into a cell on my own, which is a dark one. So I
was a little bit creeped out.
"This is where the footage that
you see begins, I believe. Some crows or ravens start queeking which I
admit makes me jump, so I move out of the cell, and head over to my
sister and my mate. Just as we are walking out, not even looking in the
screen of the camera, I point it through a cell window, and just walk
out of the prison door, I didn't even see (what looks like) the ghost
until I watched the footage through a good two or three times.
"It
was quite a shock as my whole family agrees it looks like a vicar
[priest], and as it was a jail where many people were executed by
hanging, a priest would have been present to perform the last rights.
"Anyway thanks for your interest in my story, hope
to hear from you."

"Hi, I am John's older sister. I'm 23 and our family has a long
history of paranormal encounters. I have been told by a psychic that
I'm psychically sensitive and as a result have had many encounters.
"For
example, I was sitting in a friend's house when I heard and felt
someone run behind my chair. I shot up from the chair and everyone in
the room (3 others) laughed...screaming 'What the hell was that?!!'
"They
continued to laugh before telling me it was the lady of the house...but
my friend lived alone??!! 'No, she was here before me,' he stated.
'She's a 300 year-old spirit that likes to haunt her house and she's
playing up because there's another female in the house!!'
"Since
then there's been banging, knocking, moving,shadows and she even walked
through the toilet while my friend was in there! I will keep you
updated on happenings." --Hannah, Plymouth, Devon
"I am convinced that you caught the image of a real ghost
there. How brave you and your sister and mate were. I myself hold
interest in ghost hunting. I believe what you have found could be
credible. Very good catch."

"I just watched that video you guys recorded at Bodmin. That
video was really spooky. I've never seen a ghost video with that much
detail. That's one of the best videos I've seen on the web yet. Thanks."
