what to expect
When you arrive you will be greeted by S.G.P Paranormal & Haunted UK teams where we will show you to the base room, there you'll be able to grab a drink before we begin the night of spooky thrills!
We will be investigating two sites the Derby Gaol of 1828 and then a short walk to the Famous Derby Gaol of 1756
The old "Derby Gaol" can be found under numbers 50 and 51 Friargate in Derby. It is said to be one of the most haunted spots in the country.
The jail ("gaol" is an old-fashioned variant of the word) was used between 1756 and 1828 and was originally (it's believed) two separate cell blocks - in fact, it's thought the facilities could continue under neighbouring properties, too).
It is now a museum and much of the jail has been restored to its former condition.
Whilst the jail was being worked on, clues were found as to what some of the cells may have been used for in the past. For example, marks on the inside of the door of the debtor's cell refer to money and amounts to be paid. There are gallows outside the entrance - a timely reminder of past events. With such a rich history it comes as no surprise that some of the formr residents may still linger. Join us to find out if we can make contact with them!
