Warwick Lane Shopping Centre, Wickham, Hampshire
12th June 2026
7 members. 8pm start.
Whilst waiting for the evening to begin, some members were upstairs in the cafe area. A knock was heard coming from downstairs followed by a double knock. Someone went to investigate and said their head became very cold whilst they were downstairs and they had a headache. More loud knocks were heard. They all seemed to come from the shop at the foot of the staircase, on the left as you come down the stairs.
The investigation started outside Mr Peabody’s shop. The temperature was 22.6 degrees. An Ouija board was opened and a weird groaning noise was heard by everyone. One member said they felt as if they wanted to slap someone. A female came on the board and said she wasn’t happy with what the group were talking about. She thought the group was coarse and smutty. She spelt her name as EMILY and said she came from the Victorian times. Emily said she liked the men on the board but not the women. A loud click was heard coming from the corridor that leads to the back room. Emily said she was aged 29 years. She was born in 1868 and died in 1900. Emily had been a school teacher in Bishop Waltham and that she was a spinster looking for a husband. Cat was on the floor near the Ouija board. The planchette pointed towards cat and cat lit up twice. One member went upstairs and said they saw an orb and a stick man on the SLS camera. Both were right next to where some dolls had been placed. Cat near the Ouija board went off twice again.
A new spirit came on the board and kept trying to make the planchette go anti-clockwise. One member came off the board and started to feel angry. He was shouting out to any spirits in a cross voice and felt quite agitated. The planchette kept going to ‘yes’ and then it spelt LIAR. Cat went off, first with it’s right eye and then with it’s left eye. Two people said their left arms were being affected. Cat kept going off. The spirit on the board spelt EDWARD and said they had killed someone by cutting their left arm off. A new spirit on the board spelt their name as ANDREW. Andrew was 18 years old and connected to someone on the board. Everyone heard what sounded like ‘woooo-hoooo’. Andrew said he had been attacked outside a pub and was stabbed. One member said they had a thought in their head about a pub called The Redlands Inn owned by Brickwoods Brewery in Portsmouth (I have not found any information regarding a stabbing outside this pub). Another member said their face and hair was being touched, then their neck was being touched. Andrew said he had lived in DANTWOOD Road, Fareham. There is no Dantwood, but there is a Dalewood Road in Fareham. The temperature had dropped to 20.3 degrees.
A new spirit came on the board and the spirit box said, ‘Chair of torture.’ The spirit said he was talking about a tattoo shop. A bell rang and went red (indicating a temperature change) then a knock was heard coming from the corridor leading to the back room. The spirit box said, ‘F**k you.’ A small figure was seen on the SLS camera standing next to the bell. The bell rang again and went red. Someone said their head felt like it was being touched. Someone else said they felt as if their temples were being squeezed. A new spirit came on the board and said they were connected to everyone on the board. A tap was heard again coming from near the back room and the bell rang and went red. A figure was seen on the SLS camera standing in the doorway of the back room. The group closed the Ouija board and went into the back room.
The temperature in the back room was 22.5 degrees. An Ouija board was opened near to to till area. A female came on the board who was connected to the building. She died in 1976 and had worked for the Warwick family. She spelt her name as MARY ENDERS. Mary said she had died of cancer and the spirit box said, ‘Don’t go back there.’ Mary spelt A BAD TIME. Someone’s right knee gave out as if someone had kicked him from behind. A stick man was seen through the SLS camera standing next to his knee. Mary said she had a husband called Kevin and two daughters. A tap was heard coming from the cabinet next to the doorway. The temperature had dropped to 21.3 degrees. Mary said the manager in charge of the shop had a name that started with ‘A’. A new spirit came on the board and started to spell ‘Gi’. He said he was telling Gil to shut up. Another spirit came on the board and said they were connected to someone in the room. The spirit box said ‘Dolls move.’ The group asked if the spirit was moving stuff upstairs and the spirit box said, ‘It’s me.’ Note: Three dolls had been placed upstairs with a camera facing them. Footage shows the dolls not moving at all. A ‘dunk, dunk’ noise was heard coming from the back of the room. The spirit on the board said they were angry. A creaking noise was heard coming from the doorway. The planchette kept trying to go anti-clockwise. Everyone took their fingers off the planchette and asked the spirit to move it. It didn’t move. Everyone had their fingers hovering over the top of the planchette and said they could feel energy coming from the planchette and the tips of their fingers felt heavy and were throbbing. Another spirit came on the board and spelt the shop’s name as ELIZA. The spirit box said, ‘I am Eliza’. Later on in the evening it was discovered that that there is someone called Eliza who works at Warwick Lane. The group closed the Ouija board and went upstairs for a tea break. During the break one member went back downstairs and said they had heard a knocking noise down there.
After the break the group went across the road to the cellar. The temperature was 21.3 degrees. The spirit box said, ‘Ten. Ten. Can you.’ The group said, ‘What’s your name?’ The spirit box said, ‘Lee.’ Someone said their right ear was being tickled and someone else said they had a pain in their temple. The spirit box said, ‘Ow. Not yet.’ The sound of a didgeridoo was heard on the spirit box. The spirit box said, ‘Amber.’ The group said, ‘Is there somebody called Amber?’ The spirit box said, ‘Ask.’ A growling noise was heard in the cellar. The group said, ‘Do that again and make us scream’. The spirit box said, ‘Okay.’ The noise of an aeroplane was heard. The spirit box said, ‘It’s still. Steve. Billy. Shadow.’ Someone saw a dark shadow peeking out from the top of the steps where all the toys were sat. There was the sound of a really deep intake of breath in the room and everyone said they felt cold. The group said, ‘Can you make it even colder?’ The spirit box said, ‘No. Help. Help. Him. Help. Battery.’ The temperature had dropped right down to 17.5 degrees. The spirit box said, ‘Will. I’m oom Bev. What? Gay Joe. Break. Three. I, you, three. Red. Oh.’ A sensor light at the top of the staircase came on. The group were talking about picking someone up from the airport. The spirit box said, ‘Oh, oh.’
An Ouija board was opened. Someone was counting from one to ten to get some energy going, and when they said ‘8’ the spirit box also said ‘8’. The group said, ‘Who are you connected to?’ The spirit box said, ‘Gil.’ The group asked again ‘Who are you connected to?’ The spirit box said, ‘Sue. Us. Harry.’ The temperature dropped to 16.2 degrees. Someone was getting a stabbing pain in their temple. The spirit box said, ‘Den. Den. Afraid. Ghost.’ Absolutely nothing was happening on the board. The spirit box said, ‘We’re dead. Die. Dead. Dark.’ Everyone was feeling really cold. The planchette eventually moved to the letter ‘A’ but wouldn’t do anything else. Someone decided to take some photos and called out, ‘Flash.’ The spirit box immediately said, ‘Flash. I will flash the light.’ The bell rang and turned to orange, indicating a temperature change. Someone’s spirit guide called Jason eventually came on the board with a message. The sensor light at the top of the staircase went off again. The group said, ‘Are there any other messages?’ The spirit box said, ‘Bye.’ The group said, ‘Do any other spirits want to communicate with us?’ The spirit box said, ‘You what?’ Someone said they felt like they were being pushed on their shoulder blades. A spirit on the board spelt FUMAL F C. Note: there is actually a football club in Belgium called Fumal FC. The spirit said they were connected to a secret about the building but refused to say anything else. The group said ‘ do you want us to go’ and the planchette went to ‘yes’. The group closed the board and went back to Warwick Lane. They had a quick break then went up to the attic.
In the attic, the spirit box immediately said ‘hi’ and the K2 meter went up to orange. The temperature was 23.1 degrees. The spirit box said, ‘Cellar. Mug. Gil. Sue. Man. Lights.’ The group turned every light off so they were in complete darkness. The spirit box said, ‘Thanks.’ An orb was seen. The spirit box said, ‘I’m attached to the woods. Angel. Evil.’ What sounded like ‘Jaws’ music was heard on the spirit box. Then the sound of a china teacup being stirred with a spoon was heard on the spirit box. The group said, ‘You told us to come up here so what do you want?’ The spirit box said, ‘Sweets. Little girl’. The group said, ‘Is there a little girl up here?’ The spirit box said, ‘There is.’ The teacup being stirred could be heard again. Twice the sensor light in the first part of the attic came on. The group said, ‘We are all up here.’ The spirit box said, ‘Rude. Hey. Paul. Gil. Pull me out. The teacup was heard again and the sensor light came on. A child’s voice could be heard on the spirit box. The spirit box said, ‘Children want to speak.’ The group said, ‘We’ll let you speak.’ The spirit box said, ‘Encouragement.’ The sensor light went on again. The group turned on a torch and were talking about playing the game ‘tag’. The spirit box said, ‘Follow us. Behind you.’ The sensor light came on and the spirit box said, ‘Good. The light.’ Someone’s left leg felt cold and someone else’s legs were tingling. The spirit box said, ‘Dark’. The torch was turned off and the spirit box said, ‘Alice.’ Someone started to ask the spirits to turn the sensor light on and off, which it did several times. They were trying to film the light coming on and every time they pointed the camera at the light it refused to do anything. Someone said, ‘We’ll cover the camera and won’t film you.’ The spirit box said, ‘Keep the camera on.’ The camera went into sleep mode and a red light came on. The spirit box said, ‘Light.’ The group said, ‘Can you turn the light on,’ and the spirit box said, ‘Light,’ again. Someone said their back felt very cold and an orb was seen in the room. The light came on once more and the sound of someone impatiently tapping their foot.
The group left the cellar and went to the toilet area to do some table tipping. They managed to get the table to turn around in a complete circle then it just stopped dead and refused to move again. The group moved to the cafe area and opened an Ouija board. They tried several times to get someone to talk by opening and closing it but there was absolutely nothing. Eventually a spirit came on and spelt ZOZO then moved the planchette anti-clockwise several times. It then spelt P**S OFF. One member got cross and started to shout at the spirits. A black orb was seen near to him. Another spirit came on the board and spelt his name as PETER THAW. He said he had spoken to the group before and knew the year was 2026. Peter said he had died in 1959. Absolutely nothing else happened so the board was closed and the evening ended at 2.20am.
