REALLY SPOOKY!!!! CHECK THE 'ORBS' IN THIS IMAGE. I CAN SEE AT LEAST 5 OF VARYING SIZES. Taken just inside the entrance, and there had been no rain or mist, no leaking ceiling, and no sweating! I know there is a lot of debate as to what these orbs are, but there is a theory they denote the presence of ghosts. Now read on please....if you dare!
WHAT has been left behind from the suffering, pain and neglect of the thousands of inmates? Many visitors have heard and seen a variety of strange things, from people walking through walls, dogs running through the museum and many more. There have been over fifty reports of a lady sitting playing with chains in one corner of the museum.
Paranormal investigations are ongoing at the site. Previous investigators have found it to be very active with many strange happenings from glasses smashing, lights turning on and off, doors opening and closing, and many other unexplained events.
There is another orb on another image of a torture chair. I only took 3 shots inside this place (unusual).....although I did not have this paranormal information at the time, I did not feel like lingering in there at all, yet I am not of a nervous or phobic disposition.
The museum is built upon the original site of the notorious Clink Prison. The prison dates back to 1144 making it one of England’s oldest, if not the oldest prison. It functioned until 1780 when it was burnt down by rioters, and was never rebuilt. The name, derived from the sound of the prison's doors being bolted and the rattling of the prisoner's chains, has become slang as a term for prison or jail cell.
Life was very harsh inside the prison. Fighting, murders, starvation, brutal tortures and executions were common. Poorer prisoners had to beg at the grates on the street level and sell anything they had, including their clothes, to pay for food. Those with money and friends on the outside were able to pay the jailers to make their time better. The museum houses original artefacts of crime and punishment from this prison, and others in the UK.
