Hi,
My husband and myself visited again recently. being able to feel energy I took photos were I felt and have quite a few with many orbs. I will happily email them if you are interested. Good luck with the renovations, I am so pleased the new owners are interested in our heritage.
Love’n'Light,

Hi, I recently visited Bodmin Gaol (which I thought was fantastic), while looking through the pictures I took on my phone, I found two which appear to have a figure on, one of a child sat in a chair and one of a man. I know it is supposed to be haunted and wondered if there was any information on any spirits that have been found there, as I wondered if my pictures are real, or if it’s a trick of the light or something. Very spooky! Thanks, Sarah.
Hi me and my mum,sister,stepdad went to the jail i was looking in james holderman i think that was his name the one who killed his wife with the iron i said when i was standing there “james your evil” and a mini sec later i herd a deep breth bt my face. and i have two other experiances happen in a girl named sara her jail cell i was feeling depresed when in there and i did what most haunted to when u wistle a tune and they should wistle back and em and my lil sis was in there the first time i did it and there was a fain copy of the wistle i did in the left hand side of the room so i told my mum to come in and before we went in there the second time she would not go in there, so swe went up to the man in fancy dress and my mum had siad to him ” you know that jail cell with the metal door on the second floor” the man smiled and replied yes she said i could not step into that room at all and he said that was a lady called sara that was her cell she is not trying to make u not want to go in there she wants u to go in there to help her she is afraid of men. anyways we where in the cell me my mum and my 6 yr old sister and i wistled for a second time and she relpied but not a short one like i did it sounded like a wimper wistle and i felt really upstet. and the last experance i had was when we was up in the 5th floor and i could hear people wistling again but i was not wistling so i listend carful and they were what sound like to me wistling jingle bells but we went to the man again and said y on the 5th floor can u hear people wistling when u where up on the 5th floor when what u can see is like rubble on the floor there was no roof or rooms and then when i walked down the sairs it followed you. and he smiled gain and said that is one of the spirits that i comunicate with there and he senses that you have a open mind or belive in ghosts and spirits so he is trying to talk with you. so if that helps any one who reads this and has experanced the same thing it is to prove u did hear it or feel it xxx KEEP BELIVING BECAUSE IF THEY SENSE U DONT BELIVE THEY WILL NOT PROVE TO U THEY R REAL SO BELIVE,BELIVE,BELIVE.
Hi, I was recently over at the jail with my family and a friend who brought a camera with her. My son who is 7 months old was ok untill we went up to the 4th floor where he started crying uncontrollably and yet he is normally a very happy baby so we took him out and waited in the car for the others to finish. My Mothers friend was next to come to the car, I had been looking around the grounds near the old navel wing with the camera and had taken some pictures and on review found that there were many ‘orbs’ in the images.
Anyway, the next thing I knew there were people (alive) behind a closed gate and they had asked me how I had gotten in, I replied ‘The same way you are trying too’ but then discovered that the chain had been hooked on so the gate could not be opened. As my brother was close by and likes to play tricks on me I blamed it on him and said to the people oh my brother has locked me in to be funny and they laughed.
With that I left to go back to the car where we were looked through the all the images I had taken and found that in the pictures where the flash hadn’t fired was a figure but only a pair of legs in bright orange or brown trousers (maybe navel trousers?)
I wondered if anyone else had got images like this? Any Explanations?
Hello Jennie
I would be very interested in seeing a copy of your photograph if you can email it over. As part of the overnight events we use The Navel Wing because of it’s fantastic energy and we often have paranormal activity when working there. If you could send us a copy it would be fantastic as we could add it to our portfolio.
Many thanks for your post
Mark Rablin

Hi Mark,
I recently took the ghost walk and have a couple of good pictures with orbs in, one has at least three in different places. If you would like them I’ll send them over, it was a very good night and we will be doing it again in the near future, thanks for a great evening.

My partner and I visited Bodmin Jail 2 weeks ago, I am writing on here mainly because after getting back home and looking at my photo’s we have discovered more than one image that we are unsure of?
Can I send my pics to anyone that might be able to look into them further? Some of the photos appear to have orbs on them but I feel these maybe flashes from the camera reflecting on dust particles, on another photo there is a face that looks very spooky! and more on another photo!
I just wanted to say that we loved the Jail and would recommend it to anybody, we plan to do a ghost walk night next October.
