Investigating The Very Haunted Shrewsbury Prison And Its Dark History

This video was uploaded to the YouTube channel Dead Air in May 2023.

Built in the site of an original 18th century Georgian prison, Shrewsbury Prison gained a reputation as being one of the worst prisons in the UK.

With over 70 executions here, and a higher number of prisoners taking their lives here, it’s no surprise this place is full of ghost stories.

Dead Air was formed in 2009 by University friends Rob Davies and Chris Felton, originally as a radio show in Newcastle based FM station, NE1fm. The show originally was based around encouraging callers to talk about their own experiences and opinions on the paranormal, as well as monthly live broadcasts from some of the North East's scariest places.

Chris works alongside Alan Robson, the host of Metro Radio's Nightowls and Sky TV's 'Scariest Places on Earth', and plans to make a full return to the show in 2021. Rob has been a radio presenter with NE1fm on the music scene, but is now 100% committed to creating paranormal content for the channel.
