Inveraray Jail Ghosts
On three different occasions three women all of different nationalities refused point blank to enter the kitchen area and became very distressed. All three women came to Inveraray at different times and all stopped dead at the entrance to the kitchen and said they couldn't go any further because they saw the ghost of a woman cowering behind the door. The place in the prison that most people react to is cell 10. It doesn't tend to be something people see so much as a feeling they get. Dogs will not enter this cell and many visitors complain of feeling unwell in here.
One visitor, Michelle Affleck, 42, was so frightened by her experiences that she has vowed never to return. Michelle, who lives near Crewe town centre, was visiting the jail with her husband and young daughter Gemma, when she became aware of an 'unsettling presence' "when my husband entered the jail we both felt light headed and dizzy and we had a strange sickly feeling. But, we didn't want to alarm Gemma so we couldn't say much at the time." said Michelle.
"All the way through I had an ominous feeling there was someone there with us but there was nobody else going round the jail at the time. It was the weirdest sensation. "In one room there was a strong smell of body odour and then in the old jail a door suddenly slammed shut behind us. "However, it wasn't until we downloaded photographs onto our computer that I got really spooked. In two of the photos there were images that definitely weren't there when the pictures were taken," said Michelle. In one picture there were a number of orbs surrounding Gemma and I.
Supernatural goings on at the jail have acted like a lighting rod for professional ghost hunters who regularly conduct seances with mediums, and carry out Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP) experiments which have revealed some startling results. Members of staff were talking about a supposed ghost which had been active in the corridor poking people in the back. So for my question I asked are you the one that's been running about in the corridor and have you stabbed anyone in the back." said George Allison, 61, a works manager from Glasgow, who joined in on a late night investigation with a team from Ghost Events Scotland. "When we played the tape back a voice very clearly said 'yes I have,' it was terrifying. "
