Today it is an award winning museum, and as the largest collection of police memorabilia in the country. It has also recently been discovered that underneath the building there is a warren of medieval tunnels.
The Haunted History of the Galleries of Justice
With the history and all the punishments that have taken place in the Galleries over the centuries, it is understandable that there is said to be a lot of tormented souls which make the Galleries of Justice very haunted.
The reported activity includes, but is not restricted to, a lady and a soldier in the entrance hall; voices, knocks and bangs in the courtroom while it is also said that shadowy figures can be seen the the overlooking balconies; unexplained smells in the laundry room.
Bodies are still buried beneath the yard and people have experienced strange sensations and visitors are said to feel sick and sometimes feel as if they are being touched while some people have had stones thrown at them in some of the more darker areas.
Comments
I found your website very interesting and informative, especially the information regarding the Galleries of Justice in Nottingham, which was my home town. I felt however, that I had to contact you with regard to the above photograph, as it is incorrect, as the Galleries of Justice are located directly opposite these buildings. The old Court House and jail for Nottingham, is quite an impressive building, unlike the town house and pub shown in the photograph. I attach a link which shows a picture of the Galleries of Justice Museum, which I hope that you can access.
Yours faithfully
