Shire Hall

Located at the attraction is the notorious Sheriff’s dungeons including Nottingham’s famous ‘Oubliette’ meaning ‘forgotten place’, where prisoners were left to perish with no escape. This area is built into the original caves lying underneath the hall and is unsurprisingly said to be haunted.

Britain's most active poltergeist can be found in the ancient dungeon that lie beneath the Galleries of Justice Museum. Ghost hunters can expect to experience the supernatural as stones fly through the air and they get touched by an invisible force. Many witnesses claim that the ghost is that of a former parson who gave prisoners their last rites in what was the condemned cell during the time of the Sheriff of Nottingham.
 
Fright Nights, Britain's most popular ghost hunting company who are celebrating ten years has uncovered that the Galleries of Justice Museum holds Britain's most active poltergeist.

At the museum, you'll be able to take part in an extremely entertaining performance tour of the venue by the Villainous Sheriff himself. Taking in the cells and exercise yard, it's certainly a Nottingham experience not to be missed.

You'll also be able to see the new Robin Hood exhibition 'Rise of a Rebel' throughout 2011.
