Warwick Lane and Manor House

12^th July 2025

Start time – 7.30pm. Seven members present. Before the investigation began, three members did some scrying in the coffee shop at Warwick Lane. The female person in front of the mirror started to resemble a lion (her spirit guide is a lion). Then she transformed into a male with a squinty left eye and blood covering her face. She had a beard and a moustache and resembled a cavalier royalist soldier.

No blessings were given at the start of the invstigation to see what would happen. The group moved downstairs to Mr Peabody’s shop with the bow window and put out teddy, dolly, cat, some K2 meters and random cat balls. Teddy went off a few times. The team found a tambourine and placed it on the edge of a display unit, asking any spirits to knock it off. The spirit box said, ‘Now. Watch.’ The team asked any spirits to light something up. The spirit box said, ‘Sometime.’. A loud noise was heard coming from inside the shop like something was being moved. One member standing next to the doorway said they felt weird with tingling down their left side and a feeling of apprehension. That member changed places with someone else in the group and the new person standing by the door said they had goosebumps all over. An orb was seen through the camera in the corridor leading from the stairs to the shop. The spirit box said, ‘I was cremated. You are appreciated.’ The group did some calling out. A loud click was heard next to the shop door. The group asked, ‘Can you touch someone’s hand?’ The spirit box said, ‘Edmund.’ One person started to have hot and cold sweats, even though the temperature was 29.8 degrees. The spirit box said, ‘Roberts. It was conjured.’ One person said that their left hand felt freezing cold. The spirit box said, ‘Husband.’ The group asked, ‘Are you attracted to someone’s husband in the group? Do something to him.’ Nothing happened. The group were talking about the lack of orbs in the area. One member started shivering from head to toe, even though it was hot. The spirit box said,’ My name is Walter. Grandmother. I remember how I died.’ One member asked, ‘Did you die in a battle on this land?’ The spirit box said, ‘I am from your house. I’ve missed talking.’ Someone took a photo and shouted ‘flash’. The spirit box said, ‘One light.’ The group were discussing the lack of orbs again, and a massive orb was seen on the camera shooting straight up in the middle of the group. The spirit box said, ‘Sorrow. Psychic.’

A flash appeared in the shop door window. The spirit box said, ‘My name is Rose. Shame.’ The group were discussing the camera they were filming with. The spirit box said, ‘Bill. I was a child.’ The group said, ‘If you are a child come and play with the toys.’ The spirit box said, ‘We hear you.’ The group were laughing about ghost cartoons coming to life. Everyone was getting hotter and hotter. The spirit box said, ‘Drain camera.’ One member moved to the foot of the stairs. The group called out for any spirits to do something to him but nothing happened. The spirit box said, ‘One lady here. Basement.’ A tapping noise was heard coming from the back room. It sounded like someone was stamping their feet. A clock in a near-by shop started to chime. The spirit box said, ‘Near death. Laura.’ A black orb was seen shooting up the bow window. Note: a black orb is a symbol of negative energy or the presence of troubled spirits. The spirit box said, ‘Share my message. Hug. Please run now.’ The group asked if they should move to a new location. A high pitched ticking noise noise was heard coming from inside the shop. The spirit box said, ‘Worry.’ The temperature had dropped down to 23.9 degrees but everyone was complaining of becoming hotter and hotter, A whistle was heard. The spirit box said, ‘Go forward. Planchette. I’m making these noises.’

The group moved into the back room and went to the far end. The temperature was 25.1 degrees. The spirit box said, ‘Smell. I like to come here.’ The cat ball went off twice. The spirit box said, ‘Cold. Seen you. Thank you for talking.’ The group opened an Ouija board. The spirit box said, ‘Fear. Peacefulness. Blessings. Harriet.’ The planchette started to spell a name – AL – the group asked, ‘Is this Alice?’ The planchette went to ‘yes’. A loud click was heard on the wall near the Ouija board. The spirit box said, ‘The others scare me.’ An orb was seen shooting up a bookcase near to the Ouija board. Alice said she had lived in the building and had been a witch. The spirit box said, ‘Guilty. Bones. Hit.’ Alice said they hit her until her bones broke. The year she was born was 1738. The spirit box said, ‘Two of us. Something waits. Amelia. Sarah.’ Alice was asked if she had a sister. The board spelt – Bridget. She said her surname was Eden. One member on the board had tingles on their head and said they felt really hot. Tapping and squeaking noises were heard from the doorway. The spirit box said, ‘You see me.’ Someone on the board said they felt someone touching their head. A loud tapping was heard coming from the doorway. The planchette spelt – Harriet. This was supposed to be the spirit guide of someone on the board but no-one recognised the name. The spirit box said, ‘We see you.’ The board said there were four spirit guides in the room. The spirit box said, ‘Where’s my body?’ Another person on the board felt their head being touched. The board said there were nasty spirits in the room. The spirit box said, ‘ We can whisper. Rituals here.’ The board said that rituals had been performed on the land where the building now stood. The spirit box said, ‘Watch what I do.’ A loud click was heard coming from the doorway. The group asked Alice what year she died and the planchette spelt 1796. The spirit box said, ‘I was executed. Ethel.’ Alice said she got married aged twenty three. She started to spell her husband’s name – GABR – and the spirit box said, ‘Gabriel.’ Footsteps could be heard coming from upstairs followed by a loud bang. The group were trying to find out Gabriel’s surname. The board spelt – name. The group said, ‘Tell us your name.’ The spirit box said, ‘Ask the board. I have regrets.’ The group asked Alice if she was related to Gabriel and she said ‘yes’. Alice confirmed that Gabriel was her half brother and he was aged forty three. Someone on the board felt their hand being touched. The spirit box said, ‘Walk forward. Was. I have regrets.’ The board said there were four spirits in the room. The spirit box said, ‘Portal’. The group went around the room to see where the portal was. The board confirmed it was near shelf DX. Note: Over the years, other people have said they felt there was a portal in that same area. The board started to spell – aff – and the group asked, ‘Are you saying affair?’ The planchette went to ‘yes’. Alice confirmed she had been having an affair with Gabriel and got pregnant. Gabriel told everyone she was a witch and tried to get her killed. Someone on the board said their head was tingling and they felt like they wanted to cry. The spirit box said, ‘Empathy. Violet. Isabella.’ Alice confirmed that Bridget was not her sister but her daughter. A loud sigh was heard coming from the corner of the room. The spirit box said, ‘It’s me. I’m here.’ Alice confirmed that Bridget was mentally unstable and had died before Alice did. Bridget was twenty six when she died. The spirit box said, ‘Malice. Ezekiel. Walter.’ Note: Ezekiel was an Israelite priest and prophet who wrote The Book of Ezekiel.

Alice said her father had been a lay preacher in the Wickham area. She confirmed that she and Gabriel had an affair and that she got pregnant. She said that Gabriel was not the father of her child and that she ended the affair. Gabriel got angry and reported Alice as being a witch, (even though she was not a witch). Alice was dunked and beaten until her bones broke. The spirit box said, ‘I’m happy to talk. I’m buried down the road. I used to lived here.’ The group said, ‘If we turn the camera on, can you show yourself in front of it?’ The planchette went to ‘yes’ and a feathered orb was seen followed by a normal orb. Visible orbs were seen next to a chest of drawers then orbs were seen near the board. The spirit box said, ‘Patricia. Everyone getting stronger. Smooth.’ The group said, ‘Did you like looking at that machine? The spirit box said, ‘With you. Battle here.’ Alice said that she and Gabriel shared the same mother but not the same father. One member could smell cigarette smoke. Alice confirmed that Gabriel was smoking. Gabriel came on the board. The spirit box said, ‘Let’s be friends.’ One member’s phone pinged, even though it was on flight mode so should have made no noise at all. Gabriel said that Alice was not a witch but spelt – dead. The spirit box said, ‘Demonology. Justice.’ Gabriel said he wasn’t the father of Alice’s baby and that he wanted revenge because Alice dumped him to go with someone else. The spirit box said, ‘Use my voice. Am I really dead?’ Gabriel confirmed there were two spirits in the room – himself and Alice. A noise was heard coming from one of the cabinets. The spirit box said, ‘Leave.’ The group closed the board and went upstairs for a tea break.

During the tea break, an orb was seen going from one member to another who were seated at a table. A thud was heard coming from the front of the building and someone went to investigate but they found nothing. After the break, the group headed to the Manor House across the road and went into the cellar. The temperature in there was 28.8 degrees. The group went to the front of the cellar and did some calling out. The spirit box said, ‘Raped. Lie. Witchcraft. Woods. Passed. Sacrifice. Kick. Slam. ‘ A stick-man was seen on the SLS camera standing briefly next to the archway before disappearing. The spirit box said, ‘Don’t provoke us.’ The group did some calling out and cat (sitting near the cellar steps) went off. The spirit box said, ‘Pagan. Here. Sacares.’ Note: Sacares is a spanish word meaning shalt bring or could bring. One member became really hot but had a cold face. Everyone else was feeling cold. Heavy footsteps could be heard walking about upstairs (there was no-one up there). The spirit box said, ‘Night time. Many died here. Safe.’ One member who knows the building well said there was a safe upstairs and it would have had money in it years ago (it’s now disused). The spirit box said, ‘Pennies. Revenge. Blowing. Vengeance.’ A large stick-man was briefly seen by the arch way again. The spirit box said, ‘Am I on video? Dave. Concerned. Witching. Archibald. My death was horrible.’ The group said, ‘Can you show us an orb.’ An orb was seen through the camera. The spirit box said, ‘ I’ve spent years here.’ One member felt themselves shiver from head to toe, despite the heat. The spirit box said, ‘Darkness. Hunt. Clap.’ Everyone started to clap and an orb was seen near the cellar steps. The spirit box said, ‘I was seventy. The land was mine.’ More orbs were seen near the steps. A small thud was heard coming from upstairs. The spirit box said, ‘Jason. Ruin. Traitor. Walk left. I like to play games. Stretched.’ The stick-man near the arch appeared again. The spirit box said, ‘My name is Peter. My neck. You’re very polite.’ One member tried to reach out towards the stick-man but there were too many boxes piled up and he couldn’t get close. The stick-man came right out of the arch but then disappeared back into it again. The spirit box said, ‘Purple hair.’ (One of the members looked as if she had purple hair in the dimness of the room). The stick-man kept appearing then disappearing quite quickly. The group were talking about the possible use of the archway. They asked the stick-man to show them what the archway was used for. The spirit box said, ‘ I don’t want to talk. She killed us. Block.’ The group asked, ‘Is there a body hidden in the arch?’ The picture on the SLS camera started to shake and became unfocussed, before righting itself. The spirit box said, ‘Yes, over here. Troop.’ The group asked, ‘ Are there bodies buried on the land here?’ The spirit box said, ‘Bottom. Battery.’ The group said, ‘Show us where the bodies are buried,’ The spirit box said, ‘Want to know the truth?’ One member could smell a wood fire. A second person could smell a wood fire. The spirit box said, ‘Master. My death was horrible.’ The group asked, ‘How did you die?’ The spirit box said, ‘Listen to this. What is in your hand.’ The group said, ‘It’s a camera. Go and stand in front of it then we can see you.’ The spirit box said, ‘I’m very shy.’ A really big orb was seen by the steps and someone felt their hand being touched. The spirit box said, ‘My childhood. Logan. Hey over here,’ One member stood by themselves by the steps and did some calling out. The spirit box said, ‘See me. Wings. They’re over there.’ An orb was seen going across the backside of one member. The spirit box said, ‘I’ve been here a hundred years. The man attacks people. Shot. Family. Rose. I’m in the house. Walk back.’ The stick-man kept poking out of the archway then going back in again. The spirit box said, ‘I had one eye. Be cautious.’ Note: look back at the scrying at the beginning of this write up!! One member felt their face being touched and another member felt their back go icy cold. The spirit box said, ‘John. Suit. Presence. I’m innocent. Ambulatory. Visual. Scottish. Are you frightened?’ Note: ambulatory means a place for walking like an aisle or cloister in a church or monastery. One member felt their hand being touched four times. The spirit box said, ‘I can’t protect you.’ The group asked, ‘Are you a spirit guide?’ A green orb was seen behind someone’s head. Note: a green orb symbolizes healing, growth and nature. They can be interpreted as spirits of nature or spirits of deceased loved ones seeking to offer healing or guidance. The stick-man poked out of the archway again. The spirit box said, ‘You are not alone. We’re here to help.’ The group said, ‘Can you give us a name.’ The spirit box said, ‘Jon. Bones. Skill.’ A feather orb was seen on a box next to the archway. Note: a feather orb is a glowing ball of light in various colours, often with a wispy or feathery appearance. The spirit box said, ‘Orb. Astaroth. Watch out for evil. You are not safe.’ Note: Astaroth is a male demon often described as the Great Duke of Hell. He’s associated with greed, lust and laziness. The group said, ‘Can you give us any spirit guide names.’ The spirit box said, ‘Samuel. Robinson. Cold. Black death. Careful. Natalie. Legs.’ The stick-man was still appearing then disappearing really quickly. The spirit box said, ‘Standing beside you. Himself.’ Temperature in the cellar was 19 degrees.

The group went upstairs to the front room. The temperature was 21.2 degrees. The group did some calling out. The spirit box said, ‘Frances. Jumped. He pushed. Empathy.’ A noise was heard but the group couldn’t work out where it came from. Some thought it came from behind the door that was ajar. A thump was heard coming from the room next door (it was empty). One member thought they could see someone looking through the gap in the door. The group said, ‘Come inside if you are there.’ Another knock was heard. The spirit box said, ‘ Implies. Hyperthermia.’ The group said, ‘What’s your name?’ Everyone in the room said their names and introduced themselves. The temperature had gone up to 24.7 degrees. The spirit box said, ‘Nurturing. Vice.’ The group were talking about two of them being ex. prison wardens. Loads of orbs were seen in the room. The spirit box said, ‘Witches.’

One member did a quick blessing, just in case evil spirits were trying to stop good spirits from talking. The cat sitting in the fireplace went off. The spirit box said, ‘Hug. Threshold. He’s over there.’ The group did some more calling out but nothing happened. One member did some calling out but his voice seemed to have changed into an Irish accent. The spirit box said, ‘Tired. 1600’s. Thermal. They killed me.’ Note: the property being investigated was built in 1678. The temperature had risen to 26.4 degrees. One member thought they could see a shadow figure standing behind the door. A few more orbs were seen in the room. The spirit box said, ‘Mandy. Concern. The children play.’ A big orb was seen through the camera and a red flash was seen outside the door. The group did more calling out then said they were going to leave, The spirit box said, ‘Residual energy. Us. Nellie. Tissue.’ The group asked, ‘Should we sing Ring-a-ring-a roses?’ An orb was seen through the camera, coming out of the fireplace, floating into the room, then turning round and heading back to the fireplace. The spirit box said, ‘Three lights. Ghost.’ Note: there were three K2 meters sitting on the table with their green lights on.

The group moved downstairs into the old kitchen (now an office). The K2 meter went off several times when the group first entered the room but then was quiet. The spirit box said, ‘I’ve been fooling you. Patricia. I’m attached to the woods. Hello and welcome. Dining room. My happy place. You are unique. Possessed. Problem.’ An orb was seen in front of one member. The spirit box said, ‘Charlotte. Help. Trouble. Real. Angel. I’m from ancient times. Neck torture.’ One member was calling out and being sarcastic about the lack of cat ball and K2 activity during the investigation. The spirit box said, ‘Nice to meet you. Run now. Bellatrix. Jacob. I’m really here. Deceit. Near death. Visit. Benjamin. Collapse. Caress. Alice. You must help. Look we’re here.’ The group did lots of calling out but nothing happened at all.

The group went back to Warwick Lane and had a tea break. Afterwards they went upstairs into the attic. As they walked up the stairs, the spirit box said, ‘Up. Witchcraft. We have spoken before. I’m walking around. Kelly. George. Lucifer. Thomas.’ The group did some calling out and were laughing about witches, the moon and devils. The spirit box said (in a sarcastic voice), ‘This is really working. Attic. Dominate. Larry. Nana.’ Someone in the group started singing a song about ‘apple pudding, apple pie…’ and the spirit box said, ‘Apple.’ Absolutely nothing happened in the attic so the group moved downstairs and went to the foot of the main staircase.

At the foot of the stairs, the group tried to do some table tipping. The spirit box said, ‘Did you hear us? The table refused to be moved so the group stayed where they were and opened an Ouija board. At first there were no spirits on the board but the spirit box said, ‘You are appreciated. Don’t follow the voices. Vengeance. Yes I can. De ja vous.’ A female spirit came on to the board but quite quickly the planchette moved to ‘goodbye’. The spirit box said, ‘Threat. Up.’ A new female spirit came on the board and spelt ‘Yvonne’. The spirit box said, ‘My neck.’ On the board, the spirit said they were aged forty two when they passed. First they said they were born in 1913 but then changed it to 1939. They said they had passed in 2012. The spirit box said, ‘Rose. Death. I know you. Sit and talk.’ After a few more questions, the spirit turned out to be one of the member’s mother who had suffered from dementia before passing. All dates and names were reported to be correct by the member. Another message came on the board. This time, ‘Teresa. Will be back. Lamp’, were spelt out. ‘Mos (mouse?) was spelt, followed by ‘Eric. 1958. Pin back your ear now. Three new cats.’ All of these things made sense to one member. Dates and names and messages all meant something to them. The spirit box said, ‘I’ll use my voice. My name is Rose.’ A new spirit came on the board and said their name was Ben and that he was a dog. One member said they had once owned a dog called Ben. A few questions were asked and nearly all answers made sense to that particular member. Then someone called Vicky came on the board and spelt ‘F… you.’ This meant nothing to anyone. The spirit box said a few more random words but nothing made much sense to anyone so the board was closed down. The evening ended at 1.32am.
