A photographer has captured a load of chilling photographs from within a prison that is thought to be Britain's most haunted.
HMP Shepton Mallet prison in Somerset once housed notorious East End gangster Reggie Kray, but it actually kept bad guys under lock and key as far back as the 17th century.
The shots show the prison's crumbing walls, flaking paint, and decaying fixtures.

There are a lot of spirits around the place - if you go in for that sort of thing - as the prison was famous for being a place of execution for US and UK soldiers who committed criminal acts during the Second World War.
The shots were taken by an 'urban explorer' who goes by the nickname The Elusive - they took the eerie, creepy photos and say that they could feel the presence of some of the ghosts that the prison holds.
They said: "It is damp and windy and quiet with doors and corridors everywhere while footsteps, voices and door hinges could be heard from a long distance away.
They continued: "It's sad that a lot of people were executed there and given the age of the prison you can really feel it.
"The prison existed long before burial laws so I wouldn't be surprised if there were unmarked graves all over the complex.
"After finding the cells in the walls you feel there must be plenty more grizzly surprises lurking."
The prison, which is sometimes called Cornhill, is located in the town of Shepton Mallet. It was originally built as a House of Correction in 1625.
Houses of correction were built around that time to house those 'unwilling to work'. That included beggars, and vagrants, who were set to work performing hard labour.
It was, until its closure in 2013, the UK's oldest operational prison. This was since the closure of Lancaster Castle as a working prison in 2011. During later years it had been a Category C prison that housed mostly people serving life sentences. It could take up to 189 people at any given time.
In the 17th and 18th centuries the prisoners would have had to exist in appalling conditions, crammed into tiny cells with a high rate of infectious diseases.
The Elusive's idea about unmarked graves is probably right - given that we know there were seven executions between 1889 and 1926, and 18 during World War Two, but have no idea how many were killed before that.
Whether the ghosts reported to live there are real or not, it still looks creepy as hell.
