FORMER EastEnders legend Leslie Grantham is said to be haunting an old prison where he served time for murder.
A TV paranormal investigator is convinced his spirit is to blame for spooky noises and shouting at the closed HMP Kingston in Portsmouth.
Grantham, who played Dirty Den in the BBC soap, finished his sentence at the nick in 1976.
He had served ten years of a life sentence for killing a cabbie in 1966 during a bungled robbery in Germany.
Urban explorer and paranormal investigator Karl Hassall checked for spirits. He said: “It is definitely spooked. We heard what sounded like Dirty Den’s voice saying ‘release them’ and ‘search them’. I asked ‘is there anyone here with us now’ and got a reply of ‘yeah’.
“And at one point we heard shouting and laughing down the corridor.
“It was terrifying. Leslie Grantham may have left this world but his spirit is still haunting this prison.”
Grantham was released from prison in 1976 and went to drama school. He landed the Den Watts role in 1985 and became one of the show’s biggest stars.
Den was “killed off” in 1988 but made a return in 2003 for 18 months. Grantham died in 2018, aged 71.
