Crumlin Road Gaol

Nordirland · Storbritannien · Prison

Seventeen men were hanged in the Belfast prison and buried nameless within its walls — in the tunnel beneath the road their footsteps are said to echo still.

Crumlin Road Gaol in Belfast held prisoners from 1846 to 1996 — men, women and children, political prisoners and the condemned. Seventeen men were executed on its gallows and buried in unmarked graves within the walls, where several remain to this day. Since the prison opened to visitors, phenomena have been reported above all in the hanging cell, on C-wing and in the claustrophobic tunnel running beneath Crumlin Road to the courthouse opposite: footsteps behind visitors, doors slamming and a figure known as the watchman. Paranormal teams count the gaol among Northern Ireland's most active buildings.
