Spirit of Bodmin Prison

by Janette
(Berkshire)

I was visiting Bodmin Prison and was just about to leave when I saw part of the building that was not open to visitors. The door was open so I went in and saw empty prison cells. Just out of the blue I decided to take a photo of the empty cell. When I took the photo I didn't notice anything untoward - just an empty prison cell. When I got home that night I looked at the photos and noticed the two lights - one at the bottom of the photo and one at the top left hand corner- can anyone explain these?

Man Leaning on wall
by: Anonymous

A man leaning on the wall. Where the upper light is - head. Lower light feet. You can see the tendril making a curve from feet to head. Leaning against the wall right to left as it goes up. I hope you had EVP running.

As for the face in the cement on the wall. You can find those anywhere. The two women in the window I see as well, but that appears more a trick of the outdoor trees. Again, you can find those in your own back yard.

Something Shining
by: ritenext2u

They look like something someone or something. Would like flash. Do you think it could be something shining out of the window? :)

Ghosts like shiny
by: Anonymous

Try reflection of flash from a shiny metal object, perhaps glass or some mineral?

Wow
by: Kaitlin

My mother saw the face but it was in the brick on the right hand side if you look very closely. Then my sister could see a crying face. She tried to show us but I just couldn't see it?

What do you see
by: Anonymous

I was looking through these photos and was explaining to my daughter how I saw nothing in this picture. She looked and saw two women one on each side of the window dressed in colonial type clothing with the women on the right having dark hair. Still I see nothing so we showed the picture to two other people without telling them and they too saw the women. Does anyone else? We all saw the two lights and after reading the history of the jail I still don't see the women but this gave me chills.

Dear Anonymous,

Well, I didn't see the two women, but I did see the image of a face like going to cry. But there was only the head.

Spirits unleashed

by: LILLY

It's a spirit that had died in the cell. Maybe the bodies were not cremated properly. Teardrops are a sign of misery and sorrow or maybe some things should be left alone.

--------------------------------------------------Dear LILLY,

Hey, you may be on to something 'cause I saw a face gonna cry! Cry=teardrops!

Women
by: (:

If you look to the right of the window, there is a women standing there. She is not on standing on the ground but a inch off, and she is wearing a long skirt with white ruffles on the bottom and you can see her blouse its tucked in, and its a v-neck type thing. she doesnt have a head. If you look to hard you wont find it, you kind of have to set your eyes on the full picture in order to see it. But her sholder starts on the bottom right corner of the window. Hope you guys see it, reallllly creepy.

Caught on photo
by: Lee

Hi all great site! Me and my wife went to visit Bodmin Jail on May25th for her birthday. While we didn't specifically see anything ghostly while there, my wife, who picks up on these things more than me, got some strange feelings, and when we got home and looked at our photos of the visit, one of them had a quite obvious ghost like face. When we showed it to a friend and well-known local psychic she also spotted what she thinks is a girl to the right of the picture. I'll try and upload it onto here.

We're going back on Thursday so gonna take lots more pictures! Can't wait.

Flash
by: Tom White

These are simply reflections of the flash on the camera. The bottom one looks to be a metal reflection while the wall looks to be some kind of liquid.

Prison Cell
by: Anonymous

Most likely a spirit (or possibly two) who at one time occupied that cell and is still there. By chance did you do any EVP work while there?

Spirit of Bodmin Prison
by: Mark Rablin

Hello thanks for posting the great photograph of one of the cells in the Navel Block at Bodmin Jail. The image captures the energy of one of our spirits, and as already noted in previous comments is rising up from the floor. before being converted to house naval prisoners this block was used as the female accommodation block of the jail. We work with many spirits in the jail and this block is one of our most active areas. We have been trying to get the original plans for the jail for some time now under the freedom of information act but the government will not release them to us, as Bodmin was a prototype for many prisons that are still in use.
We believe that there is more to explore under this block and that there are many souls located around the location, over the course of the jail's use 55 people met there end on the gallows and they are buried in the prison garden as they were not allowed to be placed in sacred ground, this does not take into account the many who met there end in the Medical block "through disease" the medical block was attached to the Navel Block by a wooden walkway right above where your photograph was taken.

Thanks again for the great photograph

Excellent Pic
by: Brenda - Webmaster

Thank you so much for submitting this photo.

For more information on Bodmin Prison, click here.

What I like about this pic is that the "teardrops" are reversed. If they were otherwise, it would suggest something dropping from the ceiling. This phenomenon suggests something rising from the floor. That, and the brightness of what is presented does not indicate insects or dust to me.

My two cents. Any paranormalists out there who wish to comment on this?

For you who aren't aware of the paranormal phenom at Bodmin Prison, check out the vid above.

Thanks again for the pic!

Brenda
