Summary
The public have gone.
The doors are closed.
And inside the ancient walls of Oxford Castle & Prison, the silence begins to change.
In this atmospheric location episode, Haunted UK Podcast visits one of Britain’s most historically charged sites: Oxford Castle & Prison. On 6 September 2025, Steve was granted exclusive access to the building after hours, following interviews with members of the team who know its corridors, cells, stairways, and shadows better than anyone.
With nearly a thousand years of history behind it, Oxford Castle & Prison has been a fortress, a prison, a place of punishment, and a place of execution. But for some of those who work there today, its past doesn’t feel entirely confined to history. Staff share calm, firsthand accounts of unexplained moments within the building — experiences that are not exaggerated, but quietly unsettling in the way only real testimony can be.
The episode features conversations with Kesia and Hayley Vice, along with other members of staff who describe strange incidents inside the prison walls, before Steve is taken on a personal after-hours tour through the empty site. As darkness falls and the building settles into silence, the episode becomes more than a historical visit. It becomes a journey through a place that seems to remember.
Immersive, grounded, and deeply atmospheric, this Haunted UK Podcast special blends location investigation, staff testimony, prison history, and the lingering presence of one of Oxford’s most remarkable haunted landmarks.
