H.M Oxford Prison shut in 1996, closing a chapter in the castle’s history which had lasted for almost a thousand years.
Now part of the prison has been turned into Malmaison Oxford, a boutique hotel, should it come as any surprise that guests are reporting strange paranormal activity in the converted prison cell bedrooms?

My whole aim for this channel is to educate and entertain you lovely people, using accurate factual information and personal experiences to the best of my knowledge. I spend hours and hours on the research for each one of my videos, using sources that I like to think are trustworthy. But let’s face it, no one’s perfect, and when you’re dealing with anything in history, especially the paranormal, mistakes will happen. If you’re interested, I’d highly recommend you do your own research, and if I have made a mistake, please tell me about it!
