The Roundabout Hotel, Fareham

25^th April 2025

8pm – 2am. Six members present. Before the investigation started, two members did a quick walk around the hotel. In Room Five (the smelly room) one member saw a shadow figure in the doorway. In Room Six one member said they had a feeling someone had died in that room and his chest started to hurt.

The group started their investigation in Room One. A K2 meter was placed on the bed. The group started with some calling out and the K2 meter flickered to green in answer to questions. A second K2 meter was also put on the bed and this one went to orange when questions were asked. The group were communicating with a female spirit who was connected to the building and who had happy memories. The female learnt how to do chores in the building. The spirit box said, ‘Nancy. Eat. Alice.’ A blur showed on the SMS camera as if someone or something see-through had walked in front of the camera. The group asked some more questions and found that Alice had once worked in the building and was under the age of fifteen. The group asked, ‘Are you between ten and fifteen?’ The spirit box said, ‘Indeed.’ The group asked, ‘Are you fourteen?’ The spirit box said, ‘Got it,’ and the K2 meter flickered to green. The group were discussing the possibility that spirits did not know how to interact with us. They spoke out to any spirits and showed them how to make lights flash. The K2 meter became noticeably stronger as they spoke. The group asked Alice if she was happy here. The K2 meter went to amber. The spirit box said, ‘Him. Hers. Frogmen.’ A big orb was seen coming out of the K2 meter. The spirit box said, ‘Few of them.’ The group asked, ‘Are we talking to a frogman?’ The K2 meter went to amber. The spirit said they had been in the Royal Navy. The spirit box said, ‘Job. Doctor.’ Alice came back. One member said, ‘Can you light up the balls on the cat.’ The spirit box said, ‘Cat.’ A teddy was placed on the bed and spirits were shown how to light the balls up. The group said. ‘Now you do it.’ The spirit box said, ‘Nope. Magic. As he’s let us.’ Alice confirmed there was a spirit in the room trying to control other spirits and trying to stop them from talking to the group. The group asked, ‘Is this spirit not nice? The spirit box said, ‘Sometimes.’ One member asked a few more questions. The Spirit box said, ‘You’re fat.’ and the k2 meter went to orange. Everyone was laughing. The spirit box said, ‘Tired.’ The group asked, ‘Do you want to speak on the spirit board?’ The spirit box said, ‘Okay,’ and the K2 meter went to orange. The spirit box said, ‘ A spirit on eight deck.’ Note: In the Royal Navy, ‘eight deck’ on a ship would indicate the eighth level or floor from the waterline. ‘Eight deck’ could also refer to the size of a pair of deck boots worn by Royal Navy personnel. The group put two K2 meters right up close to each other then asked if the frogmen were still in the room. One K2 meter did nothing and the other one went up to orange. One member found some sweets in his pocket and handed them round to the group. He asked, ‘Did you get any sweeties?’ The spirit box said, ‘I hope.’ One member knocked on the door a few times and asked the spirit to copy. A black orb was seen next to the doorway. The group were playing about with the music box and the spirit box said, ‘Songs.’ The K2 meter went to orange and a big orb was seen going across the bed towards the Ouija board.

The Ouija board was opened. The planchette spelt ‘Connie.’ Connie was a female who had lived in the building. She was aged twenty two and had been a teacher in 1876. On average she taught nineteen children. The planchette spelt ‘Dulcie’. Connie confirmed that Dulcie was her surname and that Connie was short for Constance. Note: Whilst Dulcie can be a surname it is more commonly used as a female’s christian name. The spirit box said, ‘Eye dog.’ (Was it referring to the cat on the floor with two cat balls as eyes, thinking the cat was a dog?) Connie said there was a male spirit in the room deliberately draining a lot of energy. The planchette was moving across the board really slowly. Connie said she was married and that her husband was called Quentin. The planchette spelt ‘Chambers’ and Connie said that had been her maiden name. It then spelt ‘Boatman’ and Connie confirmed this had been her husband’s job. Connie said her husband had served in the Royal Navy and had accidentality been drowned. He was aged thirty six and had worked as a frogman. Quentin was born in 1828 and died in 1867 (aged thirty nine?). A passing male spirit came on the board. He said he was not a nice spirit and meant us harm. He spelt ‘Get Out’ on the board and an orb was seen under the table where the board was. The spirit said he didn’t like one of the male members in the room because he reminded him of someone. The spirit box said, ‘His face.’ The planchette then spelt ‘Omen.’ The group asked, ‘Is that your name?’ The spirit box said, ‘Ask Nerdy.’ The group asked, ‘Who is Nerdy?’ The planchette went towards the member who the spirit said they didn’t like. One member of the group said, ‘I feel this is a master.’ The spirit box said, ‘High. F8.’ Note: The term ‘High Master’ is used in place of headmaster, head teacher or principle. High master can also refer to a grand master in the Freemasons. A knocking noise was heard coming from the door and the spirit box said, ‘High.’ Floorboards next to the door could be heard creaking. The spirit box said, ‘It doesn’t seem right.’ The spirit said he wants to be called Omen. Note: Omen is something that is considered to be a sign of how a future event will take place. This can be good or evil. Omen can also be a man’s man (the meaning conveys a feeling of depth and mystery) or it can be a surname. The group asked, ‘Are you are dark entity?’ The spirit box said, ‘Meanie.’ The group said, ‘Can you turn the door handle?’ The spirit box said, ‘Hard. Goodbye.’ One member kept having the name ‘Rose’ come into his head. The spirit box said, ‘Yours to name. Wise.’ The group asked, ‘Are you related to Rose?’ The planchette went to ‘yes’ and the spirit box said, ‘Ai.’ (aye, as in ‘yes’?). The spirt box then said, ‘Neil.’ The lady called Rose in our group said this didn’t mean anything to her. The board was closed down and the group moved into Room Six.

The group did some calling out and the K2 meter flickered to green a few times. Alice confirmed she was in the room. A ‘shhhh’ noise was heard by the bathroom door. Alice said that Omen had stopped her from talking earlier. The group asked Alice a few questions and the K2 meter flickered to green again. Alice said someone in the group reminds her of someone. The spirit box said, ‘Damn. Corillo and Chey. All.’ Note: Puerto Rican slang for corillo refers to a small group of friends. Chey is used when expressing disappointment or being unimpressed. The cat sitting on the floor had it’s eyes light up. The group asked, ‘Do you like cats?’ The spirit box said, ‘Y’all.’ Note’ y’all is southern American slang for ‘you all’. The group said, ‘Can you make the cat light up again?’ The cat’s eyes lit up. One member asked the spirit if it wanted us all to sing. The spirit box said, ‘You just sit easy. You boy.’ The group said, ‘Make the K2 meter go to amber if you want me to shut up.’ The K2 meter went to orange. The spirit confirmed he had died in the room. A stick-man was seen on the SLS camera, lying upside down on the bed with it’s knees bent and raised from the bed. A click was heard in the bathroom. One member had ‘Rose’ come into his head again and Rose felt herself being pushed froward. One member had the urge to stroke Rose’s hair and did so. The spirit confirmed that Rose reminded him of a loved one and that he used to stroke her hair, The group went downstairs in the dining room for a tea break. During the break, an orb was seen in the passage through the glass door. Note: During the tea break were group discovered that someone had died in Room Six.

After the break the group went into Room Twenty-three. One member was messing about and waving his arms up and down. The spirit box said, ‘Out.’ Teddy sitting by the door had his eyes light up. The music box on the bed went off and the spirit box said, ‘Music. You. On.’ An orb was seen on the wall near the bathroom door and a white flash was seen in front of the mirror. The group did some calling out and an orb shot up towards the ceiling. The spirit box said, ‘That’s Maria. Woods.’ A flicker of light was seen on the ceiling by the window. Lots of orbs were seen in the room through the camera. One member said their head felt very tickly. The group said, ‘Can you knock on the door.’ A knocking noise was heard. One member did some scrying in the big wall mirror. It looked as if her eyes were getting bigger and wider and her face looked as if it was trying to smile. The spirit box said, ‘We were dead. Bones.’ The group asked, ‘Is there more than one spirit in this room?’ A big orb was seen behind the person looking in the mirror. The spirit box said, ‘Joshua,’ and the K2 meter flickered to green. The group turned the music box on so ‘Ring-a-roses’ was playing. The K2 went to orange. The group said, ‘Do you like singing to Ring-a-roses?’ The K2 went off again. The group started to sing but the K2 stopped moving. The group started laughing and messing about and the K2 lit up to green. On member said they felt a stabbing pain at the top of their head, rather like someone sticking a needle in it. Nothing else happened so the group moved to Room Twenty-one.

A K2 meter on the bed went to yellow and a K2 meter on a shelf went to red. The spirit box said, ‘Mommy Ella.’ The K2 meter on the bed went off. The spirit box said, ‘You’re a genius. Tapping.’ The K2 meter on the bed went off again. The group asked how many spirits were in the room and two K2 meters went to orange at the same time when number twenty was called out. One member was talking to the K2 meter on the bed. He said, ‘Go to red if you want me to stop talking.’ The K2 went to orange. A few other questions were asked and the K2 meter responded by flickering to green. The group started to talk about someone who worked behind the bar downstairs. The group said, ‘Do you like beer?’ The spirit box said, ‘Port.’ The group opened the Ouija board. Omen came back on the board and said he had been born in 1826. He confirmed there were twenty spirits in the room and he was stopping them talking to the group. Omen said he was trying to scare the group. Two knocks were heard. The K2 meter on the bed went berserk. Another spirit came on the board who said they were connected with Omen. The group asked a lot of questions, then one member said, ‘Can you read my mind? Who am I thinking of?’ (This member was not on the board). The planchette spelt ‘Emily’ (this was correct). The member said, ‘What colour hair has Emily got?’ The planchette spelt ‘blonde’ (this was correct). The same member asked, ‘What’s my name?’. The spirit box said, ‘Your.’ More questions were asked by the member but nothing else was answered correctly. The spirit box said, ‘Waffle.’ ‘Gnat’ was spelt by the planchette. Alice came back on the board and said her surname was Stone. The spirit box said, ‘Higher than the crawl. Food for us near.’ Omen came back on the board. He said he doesn’t like anyone in the room as everyone drained his energy. The K2 meter on the bed was going crazy. Another spirit came on the board who passed in 1974. The spirit said they knew someone on the board. Questions were asked but nothing was answered correctly and nothing much made sense.

The group had another tea break downstairs. The group were talking about going on the staircase next and a cat ball on the table went off. The cat ball then went on and off on request. After the break, the group went to the top of the staircase and did some calling out. Voices could be heard but nothing else happened. The group moved to Room Twelve and kept the door open. It felt very quiet and still in the room. The spirit box said, ‘You see. You see him. Ray.’ As the group was talking about how quiet it was in the room, a cat ball on the bed went off but nothing else happened. The group moved to the corridor outside Rooms One and Two. An orb was seen on the floor. The group said, ‘Let’s have a big flashing orb.’ The spirit box said, ‘Lets.’ There was a really horrible smell in the corridor. The group said, ‘Is there a stinky boy here?’ The spirit box said, ‘I pee he now. O’Reilly. Me medium.’ The group said, ‘Whisper something to one of us,’ The spirit box said, ‘Call her. Her. Her. Heidi,’ One member heard someone say, ‘Ow.’

The group went downstairs to the far end of the dining room and placed some toys in the play area. A K2 meter and a cat ball were placed on a table. The group said, ‘Can you light something up.’ The spirit box said, ‘Okay. I’ll. Us.’ The group said, ‘Can you knock something over.’ The spirit box said, ‘Have do speak.’ A big orb was seen. The spirit box said, ‘Me. I see.’ The cat ball on the table went off but nothing else happened.

The group moved into the bar area. The group said, ‘Can you sing a song?’ The spirit box said, ‘Poemasis.’ Note: Poemas means a group of poems in Spanish. The spirit box then said, ‘Else. Sweet.’ The group said, ‘Let us know you’re here.’ The spirit box said, ‘Later.’ A big orb was seen through the camera. Two K2 meters flickered to green at the same time. The spirit box said, ‘Mistress.’ The group were talking about the second world war and asking some questions about it. The spirit box said, ‘Obvious. We.’ An orb was seen in the middle of the room. The spirit box said, ‘Rob. Jon. Oddly.’ The group were still talking about the war. One person noticed their phone had gone dead. The spirit box said, ‘You stopped.’ Some people felt a cool breeze on their face. Nothing was happening so the group said, ‘Light something up.’ Nothing happened. The group said, ‘Don’t bother lighting anything up then because we’re not interested.’ A cat ball lit up. The group said, ‘Do that again.’ Nothing happened. So the group said again, ‘Don’t light anything up,’ and the cat ball went off again. A knock was heard but someone said they thought it was a car outside. The cat ball went off again. People said their legs were feeling cold and they were thinking of going home. The cat ball went off. The group were laughing and singing, ‘Should I stay or should I go.’ They put the song on YouTube and sang along. The cat ball went off several times and two K2 meters flickered to green at the same time.
