Summary
In the middle of 21st-century England lies an old building that has been scarred by tragedy, suffering, and violent death. Built by prisoners of war more than two centuries ago, Bodmin Jail and the land around it have been the site of more than 50 hangings.
Thieves, murderers, highwaymen, and rapists all died at the end of the hangman's rope, with many of their bodies being buried within the jail grounds. it is unsurprising, then, that the jail has its ghosts. Even today, the restless spirits of those who breathed their last at Bodmin Jail still roam its hallways, lurk within its cells, and prowl the dank underground chambers.
Join author Richard Estep (TV's Haunted Hospitals, Paranormal 911, and Haunted Case Files) as he and a team of fellow paranormal investigators uncover the secrets of this historic, haunted jail.

Certainly worth to buy and to keep listening to.
This audio/book is easy to read and to listen to. The narrator makes you feel as if you are in the room and experiencing it yourself! Definitely a book I will read and listen more often to! Also having been at Bodmin Jail myself I can say that I certainly recognized the rooms they were in!

Review
Having recently stayed the night at the brand new Bodmin Jail Hotel this audiobook gives a great account of what the jail was like prior to the renovations and some of the strange events that happen there. Really worth listening to if you are in Cornwall or visiting the jail.

Incredible!
Having visited Bodmin Jail on a paranormal investigation myself, I found Richards account both fascinating and informative. I too have experienced some of the same things in this amazing place. Richards account was so incredibly well written, I couldn’t stop listening! I cannot wait to meet the man himself!

A Good Read for Ghost Hunters
I'm not sure how much general appeal this book would have, but for someone interested in ghost hunting, it's a very good read. Richard paints an interesting portrait of a fascinating location and writes about his investigation there in a rational way. The audiobook is only let down by some odd pronunciation of British words by the American narrator. Given that the author was born in the UK, it surprising this was overlooked.
