The Story

A Ghost Research Society report names Charlie as the presence associated with the laundry, where visitors describe touches and apparitions. D Block stories include growling, figures and a spirit called Leroy following people. The investigators also record shadows in corridors and the former hospital/auditorium area, keeping these claims distinct from the prison’s documented history.
