What will you see?

There are a number of unmarked graves within the walls of the prison where executed criminals were buried. C Wing, the former female wing, is rumoured to be one of the most haunted locations within the prison. It is also of special interest to many ghost hunters, who hope to catch a glimpse of the hand of Ronnie Kray.

One of the most legendary spirits is the ‘White Lady’, a heartbroken murderess known to sweep through the wing, bringing a cold wing in her wake. She is rumoured to taunt prison staff and inmates! Will you catch a glimpse of her?

Tip – Please dress warmly, wear sensible footwear, bring a small torch and someone’s hand to hold…
