Episode 14: Ashwell Prison

Ashwell Prison in Rutland had a murky past, with everything from escapes to prison riots. But is it really haunted?

Come sit by me as we get into the history of the site of Ashwell, including its time as a World War 2 camp for the 82nd Airborne Division — and of course, all the ghostly goings-on that still occur to this day 👻
