31 Mar 2017 Written by Littledean JailGhosts are in abundance throughout Gloucestershire, and never more so at Littledean Jail where unusual sitings have not only been witnessed at first hand by The Jones family who live in the jail but by many paranormal groups.
On one occasion the experience became so intense that one paranormal investigation climaxed with a fear of unusal and incomprehendable events; from museum exhibits shaking, lights flickering, and ending with complete loss of power! The group were last seen heading towards Cinderford screaming their already decapitated heads off.
Other haunted goings on nearby have been seen at The Littledean House Hotel where a ghost called Fred resides on a landing of the hotel, and on the fringes of Littledean is one of the most haunted houses in Great Britain - Littledean Hall.

Furthermore, the exhibit seeks to challenge common misconceptions and stereotypes surrounding witchcraft. Information panels explore the historical context of witch trials and the motivations behind accusations, dispelling myths and offering a more nuanced perspective on this dark period in history. Visitors are encouraged to question their own beliefs and preconceived notions about witchcraft, promoting a more critical and empathetic understanding of the subject. In conclusion, the witchcraft prison exhibit offers a captivating and educational experience for visitors interested in exploring the history and impact of witch trials.

Reviews for "Condemned for Witchcraft: Inside the Prison Walls"
1. Will - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with the witchcraft prison exhibit. The concept seemed interesting, but the execution fell flat. The displays were poorly organized, and the information provided was sparse and not very engaging. I expected to learn more about the history and practices of witchcraft, but instead, it felt more like a Halloween-themed attraction than a legitimate educational exhibit. Overall, a lackluster experience.
2. Emily - 1/5 stars - I have never been more bored in my life than when I visited the witchcraft prison exhibit. The whole thing felt like a cheap tourist trap. The displays were outdated and unimpressive, and the information provided was shallow and uninteresting. It's hard to believe they actually charge admission for this. Save your money and find a more worthwhile museum to visit.
3. David - 2/5 stars - The witchcraft prison exhibit was a major letdown for me. The atmosphere was lacking, and the exhibit seemed hastily put together. The displays were minimalistic and lacked any real substance. I was hoping to learn more about the history of witchcraft and the societal beliefs surrounding it, but instead, I left feeling underwhelmed and unsatisfied. I would not recommend this exhibit to anyone looking for an enriching and educational experience.
4. Sarah - 1/5 stars - I regretted wasting my time and money on the witchcraft prison exhibit. The whole thing felt like a cash grab.
