Episode 89: Oxford Castle and Prison

H.M Oxford Prison shut in 1996, closing a chapter in the castle’s history which had lasted for almost a thousand years.

Now part of the prison has been turned into Malmaison Oxford, a boutique hotel, should it come as any surprise that guests are reporting strange paranormal activity in the converted prison cell bedrooms?
