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.

Castle Keep is a castle build on the oldest part of Newcastle. Once a Roman fort, later an Anglo Saxon burial site, before becoming the foundation of the city we now know as Newcastle upon Tyne.

The building has been sieged, used as a prison, as well as being a place where executed bodies were be put on display. The history is said to be dark and strong.

The Tyne Theatre and Opera House has a very eentful history. Even before it was opened, the land it was built on was previously a burial site.

Over the years, this auditorium has seen real tragedies, heart breaks, combined with positive energy from centuries of entertainment, it is no amazement that this theatre has lots of stories of ghosts, including one whom has apparently been seen at least 300 times.

The Channel Islands were occupied by Nazi Germany for almost 5 years during WWII. During that time, they became the most fortified place on earth with defences, gun batteries, miles of underground tunnels and secret hospitals.

Today, the remains of some of these places are still visible. I head to Guernsey to investigate claims of severe hauntings inside the German Underground Hospital. Nearly 2 miles of reinforced concrete tunnels, complete with operating theatres, morgues and wards where injured soldiers were brought to following the beach invasions in Normandy.

To visit Guernsey, flights can be booked with local airlines Blue Islands and Aurigny Air, and travel from the UK mainland: London, Southampton, Manchester, Birmingham, Exeter, Bristol as well as from other Channel Islands.

Bowes has been known as a paranormal hotspot for many years and an old school favourite for many ghost hunting groups.

Once the Springwell Colliery, this Railway yard became a huge part of employment in the local area at a time that the North East of England was leading the way for locomotive engineering and coal mining.

But sadly, working here was very dangerous and the list of fatalities at this site is enormous (more can be found in the colliery’s DMM page which has an incomplete collection of fatality reports).

And many are still said to be still here - some were never even recovered and there are known to be at least 27 men and boys still buried hundred of feet below this lane. They will probably be down there forever.

The accounts of paranormal activity here are frightening - some friendly, some extreme poltergeist activity.

Located in Tallinn's old town in Estonia, this old town house has thousands of tourists taking pictures of its infamous feature - a fake window, painted to look real after the original was blocked up to hide its dark past.

Known as the Devil's Wedding house, it is claimed that during its medievel period, a dark stranger turned up to help a financially broken and sobbing inn keeper that was ready to take his own life. He offered a huge amount of money to use his inn for a special event, but warned the man that anyone who went upstairs to look would die.

Sure enough, as the party went on after midnight, the inn keeper went upstairs, looked inside the door and dropped down dead. He had witnessed The Devil's Wedding.

The house was empty for years, but those who have stayed there talk about strange paranormal occurances. An old woman who wakes people up in the middle of the night to ask for food, a Soviet era airman...its not a suprise that this building was used by the KGB officers during the Soviet occupation of Tallinn.

People report hearing voices, footsteps and 'party' sounds, only to find the upstairs rooms completely empty. Even people sleeping in the apartment as guests have experienced horrific nights of ghostly activity. This just made me want to stay there! I booked it up, flew over to Tallinn, and investigated the building that all of the ghost walks and tour groups stop outside.

Eden Camp, near Malton in North Yorkshire was created to house prisoners of WWII, firstly Italian, and then later in the war German. Today it stands as a museum with various displays laid out in the original huts. Many ghostly shadow figures get seen by people working here, and the staff I spoke to talk about 'George'.

The Holy Island of Lindisfarne is a tidal island off the Northumbrian coast of England. On it, lies the remains of a priory, built on the site of the first Viking invasion in Britain back in the year 793AD. It is here where an entire monastery of defenceless monks were brutally killed, and their valuables looted.

For over 1200 years, claims of miracles, healing & apparitions of monks have lead this to be considered one of the most spiritual places in Britain. I just had to come and investigate...spending 2 nights in order to cover such a large island.

This is also the first investigation of using a new piece of equipment - a hand built GeoPort thanks to its creator, George Brown.

A mill has existed on this land in Armley since the 16th century, and has expanded over the centuries, with Yorkshire being a huge part of Britain’s industrial areas.

There are records of many deaths in this mill over the years. Children as young as 6 years old were expected to do some of the most dangerous and dirty jobs for little pay. It’s no wonder that with the amount of accidents that took place here, as well as a mysterious fire that destroyed the first building on this site, it is a place of some disturbing hauntings.
