Show Notes
This week, Yvette Fielding takes Paranormal Activity out of the studio and behind the towering red-brick walls of Shrewsbury Prison, one of Britain's most haunted buildings.
Live and on location, Yvette moves through the wings, holding cells and the chilling executioner's room, gathering the raw, unfiltered experiences of the brave souls who've come to hunt for ghosts alongside her.
From first-timers taking their very first steps into the dark, to seasoned investigators who've seen figures, felt the temperature plummet and heard voices where no one stood, everyone has a story.
There's the little girl who couldn't find her mum The Ouija board that spelled out a middle name only one living person could know Hair lifted by unseen hands on A Wing Taps, footsteps and figures caught on camera in the cells.
And of course, no visit to Shrewsbury is complete without George Riley: the last man ever hanged within these walls.
Call out his name, and he might just throw you a penny.
Lock the doors, keep your phone recording, and mind the shadows.

More from Paranormal Activity with Yvette Fielding
A disused courthouse and police station in Accrington. The gates are locked from the inside and only two men are in the building. Then the doors start slamming. Footsteps run down empty corridors, and voices echo through the courtrooms. For forty minutes they chase the noise, convinced someone has broken in. Then they come back to find the camera and tripod they left in a corner have vanished.
Two listeners. Two encounters with something that refused to abandon its post.
We’re taught that science and the séance room are enemies. Cold reason on one side; candles, trances and table-tipping on the other. But that is not the whole story. This week, Yvette Fielding and her paranormal partner in crime Karl Beattie go somewhere they’ve never taken you before: not a ruined castle or a cold, empty asylum, but inside the minds of the men who built the modern world. The ones who gave us the telephone, the radio, the light bulb and the very theory of evolution — and who spent their nights in darkened rooms, straining to hear a whisper from the other side.
Two listeners. Two encounters with something that reached out. One through a child, one through the land itself.
