episode HMP Gloucester, Dad Jeans and Victorian Audacity cover

Beskrivelse

Haunted prisons? WE’VE GOT IT! Victorian execution crowds the size of a small festival? WE’VE GOT IT! Antonia being irrationally offended by Shannen's jeans? For some reason we have that? A building designed to literally force prisoners to look up to God? … yeah, that too. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of HMP Gloucester, a prison built in 1792 on the ruins of a Norman castle that quickly turned into one of the most unsettling rabbit holes we’ve ever fallen down

Shepton Mallet, Bodmin Jail and The Bloody Code

Catchy technical difficulty jingles cause we went off on such a tangent we had to stop recording and couldn't remember what we were talking about and had to make it make sense? WE GOT IT! History of Shepton Mallet prison? WE GOT IT! Horrific mispronunciation of the word gaol? WE GOT IT! Paranormal perversion? WE GOT IT? Volume warning? WE SHOULD PROBABLY HAVE IT!! You know the drill! grab a cuppa and get cosy with us whilst we navigate what could possibly be our most chaotic episode yet!! We discuss the history of Shepton Mallet prison, the most haunted prison in the world, the excessive executions that took place there and the strict bloody code that could have had you meeting the hangman yourself! We also discuss the iconic white lady of A wing and private Lee Davis! Then skip over to Bodmin for a little of their history, a personal spooky encounter and the beast of Bodmin! We also have to break for a sudden giggle fit induced toilet break, talk about some of the most perverse things we've ever said and why Antonia didn't get chocolate for Christmas! It's one not to be missed!
