We are looking forward to investigating a Fort Purbrook. It is a new location to us.

Purbrook was built at the same time as the rest of the Forts around Portsmouth and was finished in 1870.

It was one of the last to be completed and as such has more modern Victorian era defence elements to it and like many forts it has myths and mysteries and local legends attached to it but the Fort was of course mainly used by the military up to the 1960s. It saw action in both World Wars being used as a home guard, training site, military equipment and vehicle depot, pre-Europe bound soldier station, Navy and RAF radar training facility.

It was left to the local council in the 1960s, it became neglect and vandalism due to it being empty. In the early 1980s a local counsellor took it on as a place for young children to enjoy some sporting activities outside the city.

People have reported stones being thrown and shadowy figures towering over them in the foreboding tunnels. Footsteps can be heard wandering in and out of the tunnels.

Tickets for this event are available on Eventbrite.

One of the many experiments we offer is automatic writing. The method we use is with an automatic writing planchette.

"automatic writing planchette" is a small, usually heart-shaped wooden board with a pencil holder, used in spiritualist practices to supposedly facilitate communication with spirits by allowing it to move seemingly on its own, writing messages through the attached pencil, with the user placing their fingers on the board and not consciously directing its movement; essentially, the planchette is believed to be moved by a spirit, allowing for "automatic writing" where messages appear without the user's conscious control.
Key points about automatic writing planchettes:
• Function:
Users place their fingers on the planchette, which is designed to glide across a surface, and it is believed that a spirit guides the movement to write letters or words, forming a message.
• Origin:
The term "planchette" comes from French, meaning "little plank," and these devices were popular during the Victorian era in séances where people attempted to communicate with the deceased.
• Scientific explanation:
While spiritualists believe spirits are interacting, science attributes the movement of the planchette to the "ideomotor effect," where unconscious muscle movements of the user guide the planchette without their awareness.

A spirit box is a device used by paranormal investigators to try to communicate with spirits.
How it works Go to a haunted location, Turn on the box and start scanning, Ask questions through the speaker, and Listen for voices and audio responses.
What to expect

You'll usually hear white noise
You might hear a ghost respond to your questions.

You might need to be close to the ghost to get a response.

Some ghosts may respond regardless of how many people are in the room
Shy ghosts may only respond if you are alone in the room.

An active spirit box can malfunction during a hunt
Popular spirit boxes SBOX, PSB7T, and PSB11.

What are your thoughts on these?
In our team we have mixed views, however we all offer the experiment .

Cold harbour Mill experience by Tanya

We're going back to Cold harbour Mill in April! We can't wait... hopefully we encounter similar things so we can discover more, or it was truly paranormal!

Tanya:In February last year, I literally asked Amiee to join us with an hour warning! Luckily she said yes! But after our experience I was surprised she agreed to join the team!

Amiee and I were working with ghost dragons and a few others, all experienced!

While we were in the air raid shelter..sitting on the bench ..mostly females, the bench began to rock and tip!
After debunking it was nobody managing to shift it and sitting the same way so we could see any possible micro movement it continues actually it got worse! So we used the bench to try sort of table Tipping experiment asking the energy to move it!
It wouldn't..while being ignored or us having a laugh at Ghost Dragon Investigations parateck response to jamie being on the "toilet " it Tipping violently forward..poor aimee ended up with her head in a males lap!
The same male put his foot on the bench to add more weight. We carried on talking saying it would now be really impressive... the bench violently tipped forward again! Tanya.

Would you?
I would (Tanya) I don't think it would be very haunted...because why would you haunt it like a grave yard...I don't think they are haunted because i believe spirits haunt loved ones or place's that mean something to them .

A popular venue all the team really would like to do is Newsham Park Hospital in Liverpool, England has a history that includes being an orphanage, a hospital, and an asylum.

Orphanage
The Duke of Edinburgh opened Newsham Park as an orphanage in 1874 to support the children of British seamen. The orphanage was established by a group of Liverpool ship owners and merchants to help the families of men who died at sea. Conditions were harsh, and one former resident described being segregated from siblings and punished in cruel ways.
• Hospital
In 1951, the Ministry of Health converted the orphanage into a hospital with a psychiatric department to treat patients with severe mental health issues. The hospital closed in 1988, and the remaining patients and staff were relocated.
• Asylum
In 1992, the Rainhill Lunatic Asylum closed, and most of its inmates were transferred to Newsham Park. The hospital was vacated in 1997 and has been abandoned since.

• Ghost sightings
Visitors have reported seeing a small child on the top floor, shadowy figures on Ward G, and a dark entity that follows people around the building.
• Strange noises
Visitors have reported hearing dragging noises in the Dining Room when no one is there, and footsteps pacing the corridors.
• Uncanny feelings
Visitors have reported feeling uneasy in the basements.
• Ghostly images
A ghostly face was captured in a group photo at an event at the hospital in 2017.
• Staff reports
While the hospital was still in use, staff members claimed to have seen ghosts and heard strange noises.

Sounds like a fantastic place to investigate!

One venue I'd love to investigate is Pendle hill, It's so full of history and true stories. I think alot of people have forgotten about that in history.

• The Pendle Witch Trials: In 1612, 12 people were tried and executed for witchcraft on Pendle Hill. The trials were one of the most notorious in English history.
• The vision of George Fox: In 1652, George Fox, the founder of the Quakers, had a vision on Pendle Hill.
• Richard Towneley's barometer experiment: In 1661, Richard Towneley and Henry Power conducted an experiment on Pendle Hill to measure air pressure at different altitudes. This experiment was an important step in physics and meteorology.
• A Bronze Age burial site: A Bronze Age burial site has been discovered at the summit of Pendle Hill.
• The Chartists Well: A meeting place for radicals during the Industrial Revolution.
• The Pendle Way: A 43-mile long distance walk that combines history with scenery.

Pendle Hill is notorious for its history in witchcraft and worshipping the devil. Today, various tours trace the witches from their arrest to their ex*****on. The Pendle Hill witches are said to haunt the buildings and villages still. Visitors have reported feeling anger when visiting the grounds. Local people even fear discussing the events during the witch trial anniversary's

Who's been there, what's it like?
Anyone else want to go?

What is a hexcon...
The HexCom is a paranormal device used for communicating with spirits. It's a word bank that allows spirits to select words from a database and then speak them aloud. The HexCom is made by SpiritShack and is similar to the Ovilus.

Features:

Built-in EMF meter: Detects electromagnetic fields
Backlit color screen: Displays words chosen by spirits
Rechargeable battery: Can be charged with a USB-C cable
Portable: Small enough to fit in most pockets

Do you use anything like this?

What places would you love to investigate!
For me it's pendle hill (obviously ) and Beaulie Abbey.

Growing up nearby it was a place we visited alot! I always said it was haunted..
I didn't like the ruins very much as a child!
When I visited with my own kids I asked questions the staff said some staff say it's haunted and shared their experiences (I've watched the most haunted episode) but I'm still curious!

There are various stories relating to Beaulieu Abbey and its surroundings being haunted.

1) Palace House is thought to be haunted by a Grey Lady, possibly Lady Isabella who dates from the 18th century.

2) Ghostly Gregorian chanting has been reported in the Abbey. One witness, Mrs Elizabeth Varley stated “I was sitting by the window of my room quite late at night when I heard it. It was very clear and quite loud enough for me to pick up the notes of the chant. I thought perhaps it was the gipsies living in the forest, but when I sang the tune the next day to someone staying in the house the recognised it as a Gregorian chant.”

3) Incense has been smelt in Palace House, within rooms that used to be chapels.

4) Brown clad apparitions of monks have been seen in the Domas which is now used for exhibitions.

5) In ‘Phantoms Legends, Customs and Superstitions Of The Sea’ (1972), Raymond Lamont Brown gives the following account of ghostly monks thought to be from Beaulieu Abbey. ‘One afternoon in July 1937, three local boys Colin Hillman, Roy Jenvey and Ben Ham were out fishing in a dinghy in the Solent. As the boys made for home the strong cross-currents carried them off course. By this time it had started to rain heavily and the boys decided to make for the nearest point on the shore in order to shelter. Eventually they beached the boat and found shelter in a disused boat-house. Close on midnight the weather had worsened. An hour later the boys had become restless and Roy Jenvey opened the boathouse door to see if there was any improvement in the weather. As he watched the rain slanting across the beach, he caught sight of a rowing boat making for the shore.

The three boys watched as five hooded men stepped out of the boat. The men, dressed in the white habit of monks, filed away up the beach in the direction of Beaulieu Abbey. At dawn when it had faired the boys examined the shore where they had seen the monks land; there was no trace of a boat, nor of any footprints in the sand. Later, as the story was retold to parents and friends, no-one could offer a logical explanation for what the boys had seen.

What places from your childhood would you investigate if you got the chance?
