The D-Day tunnels in Portsmouth, particularly those beneath Fort Southwick, were a crucial part of Operation Overlord during World War II. These tunnels housed the underground headquarters for the planning and coordination of the Normandy landings on June 6, 1944. Given their historical significance, it’s no surprise that there are ghost stories and paranormal claims linked to them.Ghostly Reports & Paranormal Activity
Many visitors and paranormal investigators have reported eerie experiences in the tunnels, including:
• Disembodied Voices: Some claim to hear whispers, footsteps, and even commands being issued, as if the tunnels are still active with military personnel.
• Shadow Figures: Dark, shadowy apparitions have allegedly been seen moving through the corridors.
• Cold Spots & Unexplained Touches: Sudden temperature drops and the sensation of being touched or watched are common reports.
• Residual Energy: Some believe that the tunnels, having been the site of intense planning and wartime tension, have “recorded” the emotions of those who once worked there.
Possible Spirits
Given the tunnels’ military past, any hauntings would likely be linked to soldiers, officers, or wartime workers. Some stories suggest that spirits of those who served in the war, particularly those who never made it back from the Normandy invasion, could still linger in the tunnels.
Investigations & Tours
While the tunnels are not always open to the public, they have been visited by ghost hunters and paranormal researchers. Fort Southwick, which houses the tunnels, has had reports of strange activity over the years, adding to its reputation as one of Portsmouth’s haunted locations.
