We will show you how to use the equipment and the basics behind becoming a paranormal investigator.

Hope to see you there!
Fort Purbrook was completed in 1870 and forms part of the line of forts on Portsdown Hill, along with Fort Widley, Fort Southwick and Fort Nelson. Fort Purbrook lies to the East of Fort Widley, and was originally supported by two small redoubts known as Farlington and Crookhorn, although both have know been demolished.
The fort is now in the hands of the Peter Ashley Activity Centre, and along with Fort Widley, they are used for events and outdoor activities.
Because of its position on the flank of the hill it was constructed to bring more firepower to bear on the north-eastern approaches. A central spiral staircase leads from the parade to the underground service tunnels from the caponiers and barrack. The main magazine is off a side tunnel from the central spiral stair. The passages are the only ones in the Portsmouth defences to be equipped with chicanes.
During WW1 Fort Purbrook was armed with anti-aircraft guns and thereafter was used as a siege artillery barracks. The army left the site in 1925, but in WWII it became an ambulance base, a barracks and a centre for civil defence, housing the 65th Chemical Warfare Company in 1940, whose responsibilities included preparing for possible nuclear attack. Throughout all these years, Fort Purbrook, thankfully, never faced enemy attack.
What to expect:
We will sign you at 8pm and take you to the refreshments area and hub room. You are welcome to free refreshments throughout the course of the evening. We will be having regular breaks throughout the night.
We will run through a health and safety brief to ensure you stay safe so that you can enjoy your time with us.
With health and safety in mind please wear flat sensible shoes or boots, no heels please. Wrap up warm as it can get very cold in the tunnels. Please bring a torch as some parts of the tunnels are pitch dark.
We have pieces of equipment for you to use such as K2, K3's Rem Pod, Mel Meter, spirit radios, flashing cat balls, dowsing rods, pendulums, spirit board (Ouija board), trigger objects and thermometers.
We will split down into two teams of no more than 11 members each. This helps keep noise contamination down and enables you to have an enjoyable time.
The first vigil starts at 20.30 and the last vigil finishes at 02.00.
We will train you to be the paranormal investigator and you become the ghost hunter. If however you just want to sit back and go with the flow to enjoy what others uncover that's fine with us too.
