The History and Hauntings of Derby Gaol with Richard Felix
Haunted History Chronicles08/05/22 • 78 min
Derby has a reputation for being a hotbed of ghostly goings on. Stories of ghostly activities span generations. In fact it’s difficult to turn a corner in the city without hearing a nerve jangling tale of things that go bump in the night. And you dont have to go too far to find one such tale. The old gaol in Friar Gate has a particularly gruesome past. Today, all that survives of the original gaol are its cells, which now form part of a working museum which tells the story of its grisly history. Opened in 1756 it replaced one in the Cornmarket and materials from that building were actually used in the construction of the Friar Gate Gaol, which was deliberately sited close to Nun's Green, a place where executions had traditionally taken place. Many a brutal execution took place in the prison, and many others died by other means such as illness and suicide.
Joining me today to discuss the history and hauntings of Derby Gaol is TV paranormal historian Richard Felix- the owner of Derby Gaol.
Thank you for listening.
