Ghostly voices of Shepton Mallet Prison to be revealed at evening event
An upcoming evening event promises to reveal ghostly voices from within the walls of Shepton Mallet Prison.
The 'Voices From The Shadows' event on Wednesday, April 23 will be led by Ann Morrison, who has recorded Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) at the prison over the past seven years.
She will explain how she captures these sounds and what they reveal about the 400-year-old site.
Attendees will be able to listen to recordings from both human and non-human sources and explore various theories behind EVP.
The historic prison is widely recognised as the world's oldest and most haunted.
The event is part of the prison's 'Evening Behind Bars' series.
Tickets for the event, which can be purchased at are priced at £10 per adult, with a 50 per cent discount for Annual Pass and Officer Pass holders.
Each ticket includes a complimentary drink upon arrival.
The prison also encourages those interested to check out other 'Evening Behind Bars' events planned for the year.
These are expected to provide more insights into the site's rich history and mystery.
