Case 118: Derby Gaol - Ghosts, Poltergeists, convicts waiting to die.

This place was designed to house only 29 prisoners at a time, from poor debtors to execution victims.

Between 1730 – 1832 in excess of 222 crimes carried the death penalty - 56 prisoners met their end at Derby Gaol where their hangings were spectacles witnessed by crowds of people waiting in eager anticipation.

Terror, torture and death, you could be murdered for the coat off your back!

This prison sits under a normal housing estate. I wonder if the neighbours have any stories to tell?

Would you get a whipping?

A branding? Transportation or hanging?

Sane or insane, men or women all found themselves lumped together until their day in court was had….if they could only find a way of surviving that long.
