Please note that this is not an investigation report as I was there to experience rather than question everything that took place. A bit of a break from working the paranormal, instead, this time, I just take the location in.

All photos of the gaol were taken the morning after.

Uley Road Cemetery is one such place, where nearby events may be the cause for its haunted reputation... at least for one of the stories.

Still, this place creeps out many who visit it.
