As with any place that has bare witness to misery, tragedy, and torment, the energy is believed to resonate for years later. This is believed to be the case with Ruthin Gaol. The reports of paranormal activity are rife and are often reported by staff and guests alike throughout the day as well as night.
One frequent report is the heavy prison cell doors slamming shut, in some instances people have reported the doors slamming shut one by one, in a domino effect.
The spirit of the only person executed at the jail is reportedly the main culprit for many of the hauntings. William Hughes is believed to haunt the condemned man’s cell. In the room, there is a scene set of his last night in the cell before his execution the following morning. There’s a motion sensor that sets off a commentary upon walking into this cell, and on many occasions, the commentary has set off when nobody is in the cell or anywhere near it. This has been witnessed during the day as well as the night.
William has also been reported to be particularly drawn to women, with many reporting being touched or a sense of someone near them.
There is also another William reported to haunt the jail, a William Kerr, an ex-prison guard who simply vanished one day during his rounds. It’s believed the inmates did away with him after being put through years of mistreatment by him.
Another report here is of a young girl’s laughter being heard resonating throughout the jail. Many mediums have said that they believe the spirit of a happy young girl still resides at Ruthin.
Other reports include the feeling of being followed, touched, and disembodied voices.
