In the ageing prison it was alleged by inmates
ghosts haunted within its walls!
prisoners found hanged or by other injuries
often discovered by staff
yet the governor ignored it until guards died
their cause of deaths lied!
Would not admit a spirits hand was the culprit
as no foul play was found
there had been plans to close the ageing prison
these were brought forward
dissention and bad publicity accelerated closure
far too much exposure!
In but a mere eight weeks the prison was abandoned
shuttered and left to rot
nothing resolved too many questions unanswered
inexplicable still reported
from local residents and passers-by on a regular basis
even telling of seeing faces!
Fifteen years on a film crew approached the owners
keen to use it for a film
its theme was to be of a paranormal horror genre
at first there was opposition
until the generous financial rewards were declared
soon an agreement was prepared!
Cast and crew on a Monday morning while still dark
unaware of what had occurred
no studio sets required this was the one location
and had the perfect atmosphere
after frantic preparations now ready for first take
soon realising it was a bad mistake!
Through the viewfinder blurry shapes were seen
as the temperature rapidly fell
gates clattered from the distance and shouting
making it impossible to shoot
then a huge arc light crashed to the prison floor
but there would be much more!
The actors stood frozen unsure what to do next
this was not in the script
director and technical crew ran over to assist
making sure nobody was hurt
the atmosphere now tense an extra fainted
a prop fell only just painted!
Everyone just wanted to leave get out alive
they really felt in danger
set up in the huge still furnished dinning hall
it seemed crowded there
clattering and talking came from every side
there was nowhere to hide!
Realising they could not continue the shoot
how could they get out
was the question asked by those present
leaving their equipment
retrieving that a future problem to be solved
their exit had to be resolved!
Retracing the way they had entered that morning
approaching the main door
it slammed shut with a loud bang yet no drafts
footsteps and clanking keys
were coming ever nearer yet nothing was seen
this scenario none had foreseen!
Pounding in total panic on the thick metal door
as something came closer
the women screamed the men shouted aloud
as the door opened slowly
by the security guard on his routine patrol
who got more than his usual stroll!
Gathering by their vehicles shaking and shocked
contemplating what had happened
decided for now to retreat and find out more
of had gone on here before
not put off the director was more fascinated
and another idea he debated!
He had to get the equipment from inside but was it wise
to go back into this ageing prison!
