Witness reports from Fort Widley
In the underground chambers under the wrap of gentle torch light folk have encountered most of the paranormal activity the Fort is reported to hold.
Paranormal energies include a male reported to be a sergeant-major who enjoys whistling while haunting the fort. He is reported to have an assertive and authoritative nature.
There have been reports written detailing ghostly footsteps and strange bangs, knocks and taps are often heard. These are believed to be made by a former prisoner, or possibly a prison guard.
Several reports from various people tell of the spirit of a little boy haunting the tunnels that run deep beneath the fort.
It is reported that he was a drummer and was being pursued along the parade ground by a superior officer, having been naughty. The officer pursed him down the main spiral staircase from the top to which the boy slipped and fell to his death.
Rapid footsteps have been heard running along the tunnels and, apparently, he often plays games. He is reported to be the spirit that loves balling with the flashing cat balls.
Some people have reported sensing a very dominant male spirit who gives of a sense of foreboding as he approaches mortals. He has been sighted walking with a lantern and peering over people as a tall dark shadow.
A female presence said to be the wife of one of the married couples that resided at the fort has been sensed on many occasions. Was she is loyal wedded woman or one of the prostitutes that came up to the fort to cater for the male soldiers and workers. Whoever she is she is alleged to be the lady in the red dress.
Was she murdered or a victim of ill health? Suggestion is that she looks after the children spirits found within the tunnels.
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 cold in the tunnels and please bring a torch as it can be pitch dark at times.
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 04.00.
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.
Join us to see what we can uncover in the depths of the tunnels under Portsdown Hill.
