Case 145: Ashwell Prison UK - A Wrecking Spree and Ghostly Inmates
In the heart of Oakham Rutland - lies an abandoned jail that was known by the name of Her Majesty’s Prison’ Ashwell. It first opened it’s doors in 1955 as an open men's prison that was built on the site of a former World War Two US Army base - home to part of the 82nd Airborne Division.
Ashwell Prison has been home to many criminals, and like other penal establishments it has witnessed plenty of negative emotions, violence and deaths. The prison is said to be plagued by strange sounds, shadows are seen moving across derelict rooms and footsteps are said to follow the unsuspecting visitor.
There have also been many reports of dark shadowy figures throughout the prison buildings and in its grounds, and visitors say they have felt like they're being pushed out of cell doors, as though the former inmate doesn’t want them invading his space.
We look into the stories of Ashwell Prison before we too spend a night alone within the walls of the Jail in March. Look out for our lives on our social pages coming up in just a few weeks as we head to Ireland and the UK for the whole month of March.

Gold was discovered there by local miners in August 1896, and when news reached places such as Seattle and San Francisco one year later, it triggered an avalanche of men ready to try their luck.During the Klondike Gold Rush an estimated 100,000 prospectors travelled to this region of the Yukon in north-western Canada in the last years of the 1800’s.The Red Onion Saloon was one of many businesses that made enormous profits during this time, keeping their patrons entertained during those cold dark winters, and today it is known as one of the most haunted places in Alaska.In this episode, we head north to Alaska to find out who or what is still haunting the Red Onion Saloon! Maybe, it’s a Madam still keeping an eye out on her girls? Maybe, it’s the ghost of a prospector who lost all of his money gambling at the card tables or got into a bar fight ? So, you better rug up and pour yourself a stiff brandy as we tramp through the freezing snow to discover the secrets of one of the most haunted sites in Alaska.

Reports of ghostly apparitions, strange noises, and unnerving presences have been shared by visitors and paranormal investigators for decades.In this episode, we’ll be uncovering the most chilling ghost stories tied to the Edinburgh Vaults. From the menacing spirits said to lurk in the darkness to the tragic souls who met their untimely deaths through disease the Vaults have earned their reputation as one of the world’s most haunted places in Europe.

Case 162: The Drovers Inn Scotland
01:00:20||Season 1, Ep. 162Nestled on the edge of Loch Lomond, where the mist clings to the mountains and the ancient trees whisper secrets in the wind, lies The Drovers Inn. For over 300 years, this historic inn has been a silent witness to the passage of time, a refuge for weary travellers, and a gathering place for those brave enough to face the spirits that still linger within its stone walls. But The Drovers Inn is more than a relic of history; it’s a place where the past refuses to be at rest. Over the centuries, guests have reported encounters with the spirits that haunt its rooms and corridors. From the ghostly figure of a young girl to the unexplained footsteps in the dead of night, the inn’s walls seem to hold onto the memories of those who came before.Hi, I’m Renata, And I’m Anne and in the episode of the True Hauntings Podcast we take the high road to the Drovers Inn, where I have actually spent a few nights whilst travelling in Scotland.Be prepared for some ghost stories that will send shivers down your spine and remind you that in Scotland, the line between the living and the dead is thinner than you might think.

Case 161: Alkimos - Australia's Ghost Ship
49:31||Season 1, Ep. 161The Liberty ship Alkimos is significant for the folklore that surrounds its demise and the popular belief that the ship is haunted and was inherently ill-fated and maybe even cursed!As a marker for its resting place and as the roost of seabirds the visible remains of the Alkimos adds character to the open and picturesque seascape of the coast where it lays off the coast of Western Australia.It is representative of the many ships that have been wrecked on the Western Australian coast since 1622 and as such, underlines the dangers and difficulties of maritime navigation on this coast. The wreck is strongly associated with decorated war veteran, diver, author, musician and celebrity Jack Wong Sue OAM.As a Liberty Ship it is significant as part of the largest production run of ships ever achieved and representative of the shift from riveted construction to prefabricated and welded shipbuilding. But it is the setting for tales of ghosts and a magnet for divers who still risk their lives by being drawn in by its cursed remains.What has led to this vessel being so tragic and so feared?Let's find out in this episode.

Case 160 Corvin Castle Romania - Dracula, headless skeletons and a Bear Pit
54:27||Season 1, Ep. 160Corvin Castle is one of the biggest and most impressive castles in Europe. It is located in the city of Hunedoara on the Hungarian-Romanian border. Even though Corvin Castle looks like it’s coming straight from a fairy tale book, its history is quite dark.Its history tells of a place of torture and death. A torture chamber can be found in the dungeon and apart from some very interesting torture devices, it houses a bear pit as well. Prisoners who were sentenced to death were thrown in this pit and eaten alive by the hungry bears below.Tourists are told that Vlad Tepes, known as Vlad the Impaler or the real-life inspiration for Dracula, was held prisoner for 7 years at Corvin Castle. Because of this story, the Castle was the source of inspiration for Castle Dracula in Bram Stoker’s 1897 horror novel “Dracula”.In this episode of the True Hauntings podcast we go to Romania where we will explore the legends and ghost stories of Corvin Castle and find out whether this is the Castle where Dracula’s spirit continues to terrorise people.As always -We hope you enjoy this episode - please leave a review and jump on over to our True Hauntings Fans Facebook page and tell us.LOVE OUR WORK?Consider supporting our work by buying us a "cup of coffee" https://www.buymeacoffee.com/anneandrenataORbecome a Grand Poobah Patreon supporter, and join our inner circle of craziness!https://www.patreon.com/anneandrenataJoin us on our Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/TrueHauntingsPodcastP.S.
