Join our experienced paranormal investigation team led by Ryan O’Neill (Scottish Paranormal, Discovery Channels Spooked Scotland, Spooked Ireland, and published author) & Gregor Stewart (Scottish Paranormal, published author, and guest on Help My House is Haunted) for what promises to be a very interesting evening at this fantastic historic location.
The Location
Situated close to the main historic sites in Stirling, the Old Town Jail is considered to be within one of the most paranormally active areas of the city.
Opening in 1847, the jail was a replacement for the tollbooth. Prisoners were initially kept apart and attempts were made to prepare them for a better future when released, yet before long the system began to crumble and the jail became overcrowded. Children as young as 6 years old could be imprisoned there until an act of parliament ended this in 1886.
In 1888, the jail became the Military Detention Barracks for soldiers found guilty of various offences, until it was closed in 1935 and became used for storage and training. After being abandoned and falling into disrepair, restoration began in 1991 and the building now operates as a visitor attraction and offices.
There have been many reports of unexplained activity including the sound of children crying echoing along the corridors, shadow figures, items moving on their own, and the icy touch of unseen hands.
Join us for an exclusive opportunity to investigate this iconic location, which appeared on the Discovery+ show 'Spooked Scotland'.
Psychic Ghost Walk
The workaround will consist of a tour of the location with one of our trusted Psychic Mediums, Lee Dunn or Louise Walker. The aim is to allow our medium to channel information from the spirit realm and give information on any spiritual presences.
Vigils & Experiments
The event will feature various vigils and experiments that everyone can participate in. These include filmed vigils, trigger object experiments, EVP experiments, and using various equipment to detect and communicate with the unseen. There will also be free-roam time after the structured sessions, where you can become an investigator and conduct your own mini-vigil, accompanied by one of our team members.
Review Of Findings & Experiences
Findings will be analysed throughout the evening and there will be a discussion at the end of the investigation, with details of the completed analysis published on our social media and website once completed.

The Event
Psychic Ghost Walk, Ghost Vigils, Spirit Communication Experiments, EVP Recording Experiments
