Derby Gaol - December 10, 2008 -

Derby Gaol is famously labelled as one of the most haunted locations in the country, and is located at numbers 50 and 51 Friargate in Derby. Gaol is simply the old-fashioned version of the word jail, where many criminals were held there between the years of 1756 and 1828.

Visitors can still see the gallows that were used as punishment for the most severe crimes, and there have been many paranormal experiences at the site of the Gaol. The owner himself has experienced many supernatural encounters, including the sighting of figures wandering the corridors. Visitors themselves can even arrange to stay in the Gaol overnight!
