Warwick Lane Shopping Centre, The Manor House and 5b The Square, Wickham
10th October 2025
8pm start. Twelve members present.
Everyone went into Mr Peabody’s shop downstairs in Warwick Lane (the shop is now empty). Straight away several members could smell urine. Note: This is often the sign of a malevolent or negative entity. The group did a human pendulum but not a lot happened. One member had the name ‘Paula’ come into his head and he felt a stinging sensation on his body. A few questions were asked but there wasn’t much activity so a new person went into the centre of the circle. The questions now had more positive responses. A spirit said they had a connection to the room and that they had been a white mist seen by several members outside the shop a few months ago. Someone felt their hair being tugged. A stick figure was seen on the SLS camera hovering near the door. Two members said they had seen figures wandering around the building who they thought were real people but turned out to be no-one. The spirit said that was them and that they could take on the form of someone a living person knows. One member heard a growling noise in his ear then saw a flash of light outside the shop. Someone in the circle felt someone touch them and the K2 meter went off. Someone else saw a dark shadow figure standing in the doorway. The SLS camera was pointed in that direction and it tracked a stick figure standing near the doorway. Several people could smell urine again. Another member saw a figure moving about in the hallway outside the shop. The group heard three high pitched moans followed by the sound of whistling wind (it was very still outside). The K2 meter went off again and a stick figure was seen on the SLS camera laying on the floor and curling up in the foetal position. One member heard a dog bark. The person in the middle of the circle said he felt a tingling sensation all over his body. A clicking noise was heard coming from outside the door.
The group closed the circle and went into the shop next door to Warwick Lane (5b The Square). They went upstairs and did some calling out. The rempod in the middle of the floor went off then the K2 meter went off. The spirit box said, ‘Easy.’ A bang was heard and the floor vibrated. The group asked, ‘Can you touch some of the objects in the room?’ Two loud bangs were heard. The group said, ‘Can you bang again.’ A loud bang was heard followed by two knocks. Another knock was heard followed by the sound of creaking floorboards. One member took some photos using a flash and the spirit box said, ‘Blinding.’ Three more knocks were heard followed by the creaking floorboards again. The spirit box said, ‘George.’ An orb was seen on the stairs going through the wall. Loads and loads of really fast moving orbs were seen on the camera. The cat ball went on and off on request then the K2 meter started to flash continuously to green. The spirit box said, ‘Sky’ and a feather orb was seen floating between two members. The K2 meter flashed and the spirit box said, ‘Halloween. Hazel.’ One member starting talking about the possibility of a portal being in the room and the spirit box said, ‘Gateway.’ Loads of orbs and feather orbs were still being seen through the camera. The spirit box said, ‘Come over.’ The group asked, ‘Are there more than two spirits here with us?’ The spirit box said, ‘Aye. Seven. Dennis. A light that works. Do you love me. Shall I do something. Who’s this one. Me was it.’ The group asked, ‘What’s your name?’ The spirit box said, ‘George. In pyjamas. Going to bed. Dust. Hands up. Got him.’ The sound of a door latch being opened was heard and a tapping noise was heard coming from downstairs. A green laser light type of flash was seen twice next to the K2 meter.
The group moved downstairs and did some more calling out. The k2 meter was going crazy sitting on the windowsill. The spirit box said, ‘You will hear children.’ Some people could smell smoke. The spirit box said, ‘Not good enough grandma.’ The group did some calling out but not much happened. The spirit box said, ‘Outside. There’s evil everywhere and I miss my life.’ Loads of orbs were seen through the camera. Then a massive orb was seen coming down from the ceiling right underneath where the group were seeing orbs when they were upstairs. The spirit box said, ‘Hello. Watching you. Sully.’ The group asked, ‘How old are you?’ The spirit box said, ‘Ten. Plague. Louder. Conquer. A girl was killed. Maybe. Front. Dickhead. Funny one. Jessica. Many other souls. Eat shit.’ The group asked, ‘How old are you?’ The spirit box said, ‘Nine. Expect us. Wild fire.’ The K2 meter on the floor jumped to orange. The spirit box said, ‘For you guys. Be happy.’ The K2 meter started to go crazy. The spirit box said, ‘How do you work it.’ One member explained what to do. The spirit box said, ‘Brilliant. I am Ambrose.’ The K2 meter went very quiet. The spirit box said, ‘Come back’ and the K2 meter flickered. The spirit box said, ‘Wide open’ and the K2 meter started to go crazy again, going up to red several times. The spirit box said, ‘Amy is that mad.’ The K2 meter on the floor continued to go crazy then a second one started to light up too. The spirit box said, ‘Betsy. We will touch you.’ The spirits confirmed it was Amy and Betsy making both K2 meters light up to red. The spirit box said, ‘Sit down. I’m with family.’ Both K2 meters continued to go to red then both went very quiet. The group asked some questions and the K2 meters went black with no lights showing at all. The group said, ‘Do something to let us know you are still here.’ The K2 meter went to red and teddy, who was sitting on the floor, fell over. A third K2 meter was put on the floor but none of them went off. The spirit box said, ‘Bored’ and a feather orb was seen. One member showed the spirits how the rempod worked. The spirit box said, ‘Setting examples. In out. It’s time to be careful. I’m in heaven. Steve. Drinks. Mummy daddy.’ One member felt cobwebs on his right ear. The spirit box said, ‘Who’s that. Parrot. Cars. The dead.’
The group packed up and went back to Warwick Lane for a tea break. The time was 10pm. During the tea break teddy went off at the foot of the stairs and it was noted that a chair, also at the foot of the stairs, had been moved. After the tea break a green orb was seen at the foot of the stairs. Note: A green orb is a symbol of healing, nature, growth and heart energy. This could indicate a spirit connected to nature, or a spirit needing to deliver healing, or a spirit bestowing the ability to heal. The group went across the road to The Manor House and went into the cellar. Dolly, who was sitting on the steps, went off and a white orb was seen on the wall. A cobweb orb was seen through the camera. An Ouija board was opened. A stick figure was seen on the SLS camera. The spirit box said, ‘It’s scary here. Crazy. A bit lacking.’ Dolly went off again then started to go on and off on command. The spirit box said, ‘It’s me.’ The group were asking questions and asked if the spirit they were talking to was a little girl. The spirit box said, ‘hello’ and teddy (also sitting on the steps) went off. Dolly was going off continuously. The name ‘Harry’ was spelt on the board. He was aged 47 years and died in 1846. The K2 meter went off twice. Dolly went quiet then started up again and wouldn’t stop. A stick figure was seen again on the SLS camera and orbs could be seen in the corner of the room. Harry said he was a grounds keeper. The spirit box said, ‘Tina. We’re standing around you.’ A flash of light was seen. Harry on the board said he was involved in a gang fight to do with the pub next door. Harry was stabbed and his killer was never found. He wants revenge. A stick figure was seen on the SLS camera hanging upside down from the ceiling. The spirit box said, ‘It’s so blooming difficult.’ Harry said it was him making the dolly light up. He said he had died on the steps where dolly is sitting. An orb flashed on the wall. One member on the board said her throat was being affected so she came off. There were five spirits in the room. The group said, ‘Can you make them speak to us.’ The spirit box said, ‘Why.’ One member’s left arm started to ache like mad, then another member’s left arm also ached like mad. Another member kept forgetting Harry’s name and was calling him Henry. A stick figure was seen on the SLS camera jumping off the first person who had the aching arm. That person said his left hand was burning hot. Dolly stopped then started again. Two members started to laugh at something and both dolly and teddy went off together. The person with the affected throat said it felt as if someone had slit her throat. A female spirit on the board said her throat had been cut. She said there were four negative spirits on the board but Harry was not one of them. The spirit box said, ‘Dark entity here. Portal here. George. Rude.’ A negative spirit was talking on the board. The spirit box said, ‘You saw me.’ One member had a chill running right through their body. The K2 meter went off and dolly went quiet. The spirit box said, ‘I’m very lonely here.’ Someone asked to be scared by the spirit. The spirit box said, ‘Sausages. I’m afraid to talk.’ The Ouija board was closed down and the group went back to Warwick Lane.
Walking along the corridor, near to Mr Peabody’s shop, some of the group could smell a floral perfume. Note: This is a positive sign indicating the presence of an angel or a friendly or familiar spirit. However, one member had a negative feeling and the spirit box said, ‘Avoid this area. I am Kane.’ The group moved into the back room downstairs and opened an Ouija board. The K2 meter went off. A male spirit came on who was not connected to the building but said it was connected to someone on the board. The spirit box said, ‘I’m touching your back. Witch. I’m very friendly. Can we keep talking.’ The board spelt out ‘Hefe’. Note: Hefe means yeast in German. Also, in Spanish slang, hefe is a pronunciation of jefe which mean ‘the boss’. A noise was heard, rather like the sound of an old fashioned telephone. A flash was seen on the back of someone’s leg. A different spirit came on the board. The spirit box said, ‘People have seen me.’ Another orb was seen on the same person’s leg. Several spirits were in the room – three female and six children. The spirit all the board said they were aged 25 years. The group asked the spirit if he had worked in the building, The planchette spelt ‘Freddy’ and the spirit box said, ‘Murdered.’ The K2 meter went to red. Freddy said it was him making the K2 meter change colour. The spirit box said, ‘There’s three of us. I’m not aggressive.’ The group asked, ‘Who do you want to contact?’ The planchette spelt ‘me’. The spirit box said, ‘Sit and listen.’ The group asked, ‘Are you lonely, Freddy?’ The spirit box said, ‘Pilot. They left me.’ Freddy said he is stuck here. Another upside-down stick figure was seen near to the door. It looked as if it may have been two figures together as there were four legs involved. Freddy asked for help to cross over so the group performed a cross over ceremony for him. When it was over the spirit box said, ‘Agree.’ The group asked a few questions but it was apparent that Freddy had gone. The spirit box said ‘Baby.’ The board spelt ‘Drar’ then ‘fre’ Note: Drar is a word in Norwegian and Swedish that means to pull, to drag or to leave/travel. Fre was a word in Mediaeval contexts that meant a freeman (someone who was not a servant or slave). It is also an affectionate short version of the name Freddy.
A different spirit came on the board and spelt the letter D. This was a friend of someone standing next to the board (this person was not actually on the board). The planchette spelt ‘ Can you help Carlos. Bad drugs. Dead.’ The spirit box said, ‘Christopher. I’m beside you.’ The planchette spelt, ‘Rose. Husband is poorly. Drugs.’ All of these things were relevant to the person standing next to the board and lots of questions were asked relating to them. The spirit box said, ‘You’re next. There’s lots of us. Let us rest.’ A different female spirit came on the board. The spirit box said, ‘Be careful. I’m nasty. Occult.’ The female on the board said she was a lady of the night from the pub and that she had shot someone. The planchette spelt ‘gun’. The spirit box said, ‘He’s called John. Hot. I can see you all.’ The group asked, ‘How many of us are in this room?’ The planchette spelt ‘7’ (there were eight). The group asked, ‘How many are on the board?’ The planchette went to ‘4’ (this was correct). The spirit spelt her name as ‘Grace’ and said she was 46 years old. She died in 1935. Grace said her surname was Claremont. The spirit box said, ‘Nervous.’ A child stick figure was seen on the SLS camera reaching out towards the table where the Ouija board was placed. The group asked Grace where she had died. The planchette spelt ‘moko’. Note: this is a shopping mall in Hong Kong. The group asked Grace how she died. Grace started to spell ‘clearg’ but then stopped. The spirit box said, ‘The children are listening. Suffered.’ A male spirit came on the board. The spirit box said, ‘Bitter.’ The planchette spelt ‘br’. The spirit box said, ‘Malicious.’ Note: Br can be an abbreviation for brother or British. Br is also a chemical element for bromine – a dark red toxic liquid with a chocking irritating smell. It occurs chiefly in the form of slats in seawater and in brine. The Ouija board was closed down and the group went for a quick break. During the break, a cat ball on the table was going on and off on command.
After the break, the team went into the old clock shop at the bottom of the staircase. Four K2 meters were placed on the table. The group asked if Tom was in the room and all four K2 meters went off. Two K2 meters then went black and had no light at all then suddenly shot up to red. The group asked if there were more than one spirit in the room and the cat ball went off. The group asked Tom to confirm he was there and all K2 meters went to red. The group asked Tom if he waits in the room for Steve to come. One K2 meter went off and dolly, who was sitting on the shelf, went off. The group asked to confirm there were other spirits in the room and the K2 meters went off again. The spirit box said, ‘Harriet. Hiding.’ The group asked lots of questions and the K2 meters went off in answer to ‘yes’. The spirit box said, ‘I’m making those noises.’ The K2 meters went silent then started up again, answering many questions. Tom said there was a man stopping him from talking to the group. The man was nasty and didn’t like Tom talking. Tom said there were children u[upstairs. One member asked if he should go upstairs and find the man. The K2 meter went to red and the spirit box said, ‘Go up.’ The member went upstairs but said he could find nothing up there. The spirit box said, ‘I knocked.’ A shadow figure was seen walking very fast in the area outside the shop. The spirit box said, ‘Toys.’ All four K2 meters were placed in a row but only two were going off. They stopped and the cat ball started going off. The spirit box said, ‘Amelia. Elizabeth. Edward.’ Every time the group asked questions about the names and whether the spirit were children, the K2 meters went crazy. The spirit box said, ‘I’ve been here five hundred years. It gets lonely.’ Lots of questions were asked and either the K2 meters or the cat ball went off in answer. One member asked some questions about people who worked in Warwick Lane. The spirit box said, ‘I don’t want to talk. We’re apprehensive.’
The group moved back into Mr Peabody’s shop. Some people chose to stand outside the shop. Others inside the shop opened an Ouija board. Teddy was sitting on the windowsill and started to flash. The spirit box said, ‘Toy.’ Not much happened on the board to start off with, then Tom came on and spelt Tom Opal. Teddy kept going off, then stopping, then going off again at random times. Lots of orbs were seen inside the shop through the camera, and a knocking noise was heard coming from outside the shop. On the board, Tom said he was born in 1256. The spirit box said, ‘Guess where I am. Stupid. Satanic.’ The cat ball on the shelf kept going off and on. The spirit box said, ‘I’m from the 1700s. Hell fire. I’m an age. My body was taken. Ambrose.’ The planchette spelt ‘budi’. Note: Budi is from the Sanskrit word Buddhi. It means intellect or intelligence, wisdom or understanding. The planchette spelt ‘bb’ which is the seller code for one of the group’s old display units in Warwick Lane (that member was not on the board). That member asked if the spirit on the board was a warlock (a male witch) and the planchette went to ‘yes’. The spirit box said, ‘My name is Alice.’ The spirit on the board confirmed that Alice was a witch. The spirit box said, ‘I can’t find my way.’ Outside of the shop, some members stood by the window. They heard a cackle then one member felt the hood on her jacket getting pulled. They walked round for a while then sat on the bench near the foot of the staircase. They could hear whispering and saw flashes of light. The Ouija board in Mr Peabody’s shop was closed down and the evening ended at 1.30am.
