Warwick Lane Shopping Centre, Wickham, Hampshire
2nd May 2026
8pm start time, 7 members present.
Everyone went downstairs into the back room (right at the end) and did some calling out. A K2 meter on a shelf went off. The spirit box said, ‘Orange skirt. Pink skirt. Hide Gary. They kiss. Thank you.’ Everyone commented on how uneasy they felt in the room. The spirit box said, ‘There’s a watch I want.’ People’s phones were beeping even though they were on flight mode. A feather orb was seen through the camera. A stick man was seen through the SLS camera next to a cabinet. An orb was seen through the camera. Two stick men were seen on the SLS camera who appeared to be upside-down next to the cabinet. A thump was heard coming from the other end of the room. Orbs were seen coming up from all the toys on the floor. The spirit box said, ‘Cave. Dangerous.’ One stick man appeared to be pointing to a duck in the cabinet. The main light in the corridor came on all by itself and the fairy lights flashed on and off (they had previously just been on). The group asked, ‘Who put that light on?’ The spirit box said, ‘Lisa.’ The corridor light turned itself off. Two members went to investigate to make sure the light was not motion activated but could not get it to come on. They said it felt really cold outside Mr Peabody’s shop and they felt uneasy. All the hairs on one members body were standing on edge. Another member had an urge to growl. One member heard a cat Mee-ow. Some people said they kept feeling things on their backs. A stick man was still standing next to the cabinet. Some people said they felt hot then cold and one person said they had a tight chest. The group asked. ‘How old are you?’ A tap was heard near the door then strange, unidentified noises were heard by the door. The spirit box said, ‘I’m six.’ The group said, ‘ Can you tell us your name. Can you show us how to play hopscotch. Shall we sing a song?’ The spirit box said, ‘Show us how to do twenty.’ Many orbs were seen through the camera that appeared to be shooting towards the group. Everyone had the thought of ‘Ring-a-roses’ pop into their heads and all said that at the same time. The spirit box said, ‘Sing it.’ The group sang ‘Ring-a roses’. Someone saw a shadow figure walking across the open doorway. Someone tried to take several photos but the flash on their camera wouldn’t work. Someone else said the battery on their phone was really low (it had been fully charged). Another member tried to take a photo using their phone but their flash wouldn’t work either.
Everyone moved to outside Mr Peabody’s shop and did some calling out. Someone felt their hair being touched. Everyone heard what sounded like a bell ringing (ding, ding). It came from upstairs (the group had placed three bells upstairs). Someone’s hair got touched again. One member could hear a continuos tapping noise in the corridor, then it stopped. It was noted that the thermal imaging camera had it’s settings changed all by itself from English to Asian. One member heard what sounded like, ‘Gahhhhh,’ and voices were heard by the main staircase. One member had gone back into the back room and asked any spirits to light up a cat ball. The rem-pod went off twice. Everyone said how cold it felt outside Mr Peabody’s shop. Some people had gone to the main staircase and said they could smell paint by the stairs. The spirit box said, ‘Shake your body. Weeeee. Behind you. July.’ The group said, ‘Can you scratch one of us.’ The spirit box said, ‘Watch your back.’ The group said, ‘Can you make a noise.’ There was a noise like a baby’s rattle heard coming from the back room. The spirit box said, ‘Watch that skirt.’ The group said, ‘That was amazing how you turned the light on.’ The spirit box said, ‘Me. Coming back.’ Someone else could smell paint. The spirit box said, ‘You need to sort out Wickham.’ One member asked a question about her family being on the land in Wickham and a K2 meter went off. An orb was seen through the camera heading towards where the group members were standing. The spirit box said, ‘Man. I’m going to push you hard. Medical.’ The group said, ‘Is one of us ill.’ The spirit box said, ‘I should say. And you are. Hospital. No thank you. Kick. I’m begging. Tap you harder.’ Orbs were seen through the camera inside Mr Peabody’s shop. The group started to feel very hot and some members kept yawning a lot. The group said, ‘Spirits, can you do something.’ The K2 meter went off and a flashing orb was seen inside Mr Peabody’s shop. Someone heard what sounded like, ‘Weeeee. Mother.’ Something appeared to be floating around the main staircase area and a flash was seen on the ceiling by the stairs. Something moving very fast was picked up on the thermal imaging camera. The camera showed the temperature had dropped really low, even though the evening was warm. A noise was heard coming from upstairs and the motion censor light by the foot of the stairs turned on. It felt as if the bannister was vibrating and a thud was heard. A knocking noise was heard coming from upstairs. The group were discussing moving the lift. The spirit box said, ‘I’ll scare them.’ The group asked, ‘Who will you scare?’ The spirit box said, ‘Women.’ The group asked, ‘What do you want?’ The spirit box said, ‘My life.’ One member started to get angry with the spirits. The spirit box said, ‘Listen to him.’ One member asked if her mother’s spirit was in the room and the spirit box said ‘No’. An orb was seen on the camera and two quacking noises were heard. The spirit box said, ‘Have a little confidence.’ A stick man was seen through the SLS camera standing in the corridor by the main entrance. The spirit box said, ‘Back up.’ The stick man appeared to be walking up and down the corridor. A knock was heard coming from the back room. The group asked, ‘Have you got any unfinished business?’ The spirit box said, ‘Hold your leg.’ Noises were heard coming from upstairs. One member started laughing and talking about monkeys. Everyone started to laugh. The spirit box said, ‘Help.’ The group asked, ‘How shall we help you?’ The spirit box said, ‘Dunno. Deaf. Hi.’ The group said, ‘Does it annoy you when we laugh.’ The spirit box said, ‘Embarrassing.’ The group pointed out that the spirit was not very nice. The spirit box said, ‘No I haven’t. Three of you.’ A few orbs were seen through the camera and one member asked if the orbs could be directed towards him. The group said, ‘Don’t you want to play with the toys.’ The spirit box said, ‘I see everything.’ Some people said the bottoms of their leg felt cold. Toys were left outside Mr Peabody’s shop and the group went upstairs for a tea break. Before leaving, the group asked for any toys to be knocked over. Upstairs in the cafe area, an orb was seen coming off a doll and one member said it looked as if the doll’s arm moved.
After the tea break, one member went downstairs to Mr Peabody’s shop to retrieve the toys. Dolly’s eye was going off continuously and a K2 meter on the window ledge went to red several times. Everyone stood outside Mr Peabody’s shop. Dolly’s eye wouldn’t stop flashing and the K2 meter went to red again. The spirit box said, ‘I didn’t do that. Some hide. Devil. Devil. Here on the big chair. That’s it. Goodbye.’ Dolly’s eye finally stopped flashing, but then went back on. Teddy opposite had it’s eye light up. The spirit box said, ‘Not only dolly. Pick it up. Tell it off. The arches.’ The group asked, ‘Can you light up the other toys?’ The spirit box said, ‘You come hold the light. I’m scared. Come and hold it. Which one.’ The group asked, ‘Which toy do you like the best?’ The spirit box said, ‘It’s me,’ and a growl was heard. The spirit box said, ‘Hectic.’ The group said, ‘Do you like the dolly. Are you a little girl?’ The spirit box said, ‘Truly. Come back.’ The group said, ‘Can you make the K2 meter move.’ The spirit box said, ‘That’s not the problem. They are hiding. Perfect light. Felt sorry.’ Someone said, ‘Shall I put the torch on?’ The spirit box said, ‘Just one day. Sit down. You sit. Just rest yourself. Watch.’ The group asked any spirits to light up the cat balls. The spirit box said, ‘I can’t do that. I’m back. Stop. Are you missing me.’ Someone said, ‘Can you swap the balls on dolly?’ Dolly finally stopped flashing. The group asked, ‘Which toy would you like to play with?’ Dolly went off, then stopped, then went off again. The group said, ‘Maybe that’s the little girl.’ The spirit box said, ‘Veronica. In the middle of the night.’ Dolly stopped flashing. Someone said, ‘Can you pull the dolly’s hair ribbons?’ The spirit box said, ‘No. Dolly lit up again and the spirit box said, ‘Fairies.’ Dolly lit up again so someone changed places with the dolly and the teddy. The spirit box said, ‘Change about. Just to survive.’ Everyone noticed it had got colder. The spirit box said, ‘There’s lots of teddies left. It’s a dream. Very kind thank you. Nothing happened to either dolly or teddy so dolly was moved back to her original position. Dolly’s eye immediately started to flash. All the toys were placed in a row right outside Mr Peabody’s shop. The spirit box said, ‘Looks like a family. Don’t like my hair pulled.’ The group said, ‘Light dolly up again. She’s in her old place.’ Dolly lit up and the spirit box said, ‘Olivia. That’s me now.’ The K2 meter went off. The spirit box said, ‘There’s a grown-up. Help me.’ The group said, ‘Can you light up the cat balls on the window ledge.’ The spirit box said, ‘Are you talking about balls.’ Whispering was heard and it felt as if a male presence had entered the area. The group asked, ‘Have you been stopped playing with the toys?’ The spirit box said, ‘Yes, I’ve been stopped. It’s another halfwit.’ The group said, ‘Has someone stopped you.’ The spirit box said, ‘At the moment I can’t move.’ More whispering was heard. The spirit box said, ‘He’s watching.’ The group said, ‘How many toys are there?’ The spirit box said, ‘He’s still here.’ It had gone very quiet. Someone said, ‘I’m going to turn the torch off and make it dark.’ The spirit box said, ‘Ghost people. Careful. What are you doing.’ The group said, ‘Do you prefer it to be dark?’ The spirit box said, ‘What’s your name. It’s a character. Ella.’ Someone said, ‘Is your name Ella?’ The spirit box said, ‘No. Who the hell is it.’ The temperature had risen to 33 degrees in the area outside Mr Peabody’s. Someone said, ‘Ella, are you Olivia’s mother?’ The spirit box said, ‘According to the law. Help. I’m really rude today. Hanging by a thread.’ Two members went into the back room. They both had a tingling sensation over their entire bodies. A cat ball went off a couple of times and a few words came through, but nothing significant. The group asked, ‘Do you want us to move? I’m going to take the toys away. Shall we move?’ The spirit box said, ‘Cellar.’
The group packed up and headed across the road to the house with the cellar. An Ouija board was opened up. The spirit box said, ‘Dabble for me. Fatso.’ A passing spirit came on the board. The group said, ‘Tell us how many spirits are in the room. The spirit box said, ‘why’ and the planchette went to number 5. A new spirit came on the board who was connected to someone in the room. The group asked, ‘Are you a family member?’ The spirit box said, ‘Yeah.’ The group asked, ‘You’re a nice spirit, are you?’ The spirit box said, ‘Everyone can tell.’ Someone said, ‘Do you have a name?’ The spirit box said, ‘Not check on the left. DAD was spelt on the Ouija board, then the planchette spelt MAISIE. The spirit box said, ‘Try two.’ There are two children who are twins. The spirit box said, ‘Witch made it. Adams.’ The spirit had been born in 1969. The spirit box said, ‘Bl**dy cold down here.’ The spirit said it had been born dead. It refused to give any information about their mother. The spirit said one man on the board had been it’s father. Dolly, sitting on the steps, went off. Loads of question were asked. The spirit box said, ‘You should just give up.’ Dolly lit up again. The spirit box said, ‘Quite funny.’ The group asked, ‘If you hadn’t have been aborted, how old would you have been now?’ The spirit box said, ‘In the thirties. I was the easy one.’ One member was pushed very hard. The spirit box said, ‘It broke me.’ The group asked, ‘Did you push Carol just now? Who pushed her over?’ The spirit box said, ‘See. Gene Wilder. Who’s pulling me. Easy. Slight injury. Gone. My family.’ The planchette spelt YOU GOT US. The spirit box said, ‘Two names. Crete. Got something else to tell me. Don’t mess with girls.’ The planchette spelt GAOY. Note: this means fatigue, tiredness or weariness. Or was the planchette trying to say ‘gay’ as the spirit’s last comment was ‘don’t mess with girls’? A couple of new spirits came on the board who said they were related to different people in the room. A few initials were spelt out – LRN, LOQ and HHH, but nothing made any sense to anyone. One member had itching on their left chest. Another member had a thumping on their left chest. Dolly on the steps lit up and the planchette spelt ZOZO. Note: Zozo is an alleged malevolent entity (a demon) known for contacting Ouija board users. It often spells out Z-O-Z-O repeatedly and often poses as a child to gain trust before becoming very aggressive. Zozo said they lie about everything and refused to let anyone else on the board. The board was closed down and everyone went back to Warwick Lane.
The group had a quick tea break then set up an Ouija board in the cafe area. The spirit box said, ‘Cough up. Dolly’s top. Miss you. Bantau.’ Note: Bantau is a name and is also a group of languages from Africa. One member felt themselves being poked on their buttocks. The group asked, ‘Are you a lady of the night?’ The spirit box said, ‘Talk to me.’ The planchette spelt out how much the lady of the night charged for certain favours and the name FANNY was spelt. The spirit box said, ‘I’m joking.’ The group were laughing and joking around with each other. They said, ‘Do you like laughter?’ The spirit box said, ‘Brilliant.’ The spirit said they had passed in 1835. The spirit box said, ‘Stated. Steve. Someone’s comment.’ The group said, ‘Do you want to be known as Fanny?’ The planchette went to ‘yes’. The spirit box said, ‘It’s a pain. Child like. Too late. Next weekend. Have it.’ The planchette spelt that Fanny was born in 1748. The group asked, ‘Do you want to visit Steve?’ The spirit box said, ‘Wide legs. It’s because of his performance.’ The group asked, ‘Do you have any teeth?’ The spirit box said, ‘I put them properly.’ One member started making a funny noise – yum, yum, yum. The spirit box said, ‘Kid. Whichever. Supposed to be adults. What happened.’ One member felt their elbow being touched. The spirit box said, ‘My wallet’s over there.’ The group asked if there were any other spirits in the room. The spirit box said, ‘Legs. Laugh. Love a good laugh.’ The planchette said there were four other spirits in the room – all women of the night. The group asked, ‘Are there any gay spirits here?’ The spirit box said, ‘Only Terry. Asking for information. Who to contact.’ Names of the other women were written by the planchette – ALICE, ELLA and ELLIE. All three girls are in Fanny’s charge. The spirit box said, ‘Follow me. As I just said. I only do white men. I’m free. Don’t give up.’ It went quiet for a little while and the group continued laughing amongst themselves. Eventually the spirit box said, ‘Not only one. Sat around the table chortling. Fifty four. Take the weight. Open. Go deep.’ The planchette said that Fanny had once owned a house in The Square, Wickham. It was a public house. The spirit box said, ‘He took it. Barbara. Sounds sick.’ Fanny would not give the name of the pub. The spirit box said, ‘Colin. Harry. Chasing after me. Beast. Finding me.’ The planchette said that Colin and Harry were clients. The group started talking about Alice, Ella and Ellie. The spirit box said, ‘They’re f**king mental.’ The planchette said that Ellie had died early. Fanny left some money when she died. One member said they felt a tingle. It was noticed that the planchette became stronger every time the group laughed. Fanny said she had been watching us for two years every time the group visited Warwick Lane. She said she was sussing the group out before making contact. None of the four women had any children. The spirit box said, ‘Not happy.’ Fanny said she adopted three children. The spirit box said, ‘Scandal.’ The group asked, ‘How old was Ellie when she died?’ Fanny wouldn’t answer. The spirit box said, ‘How old are you? Time to go. Think of moving.’ The group asked Fanny if she would talk to the group again. The spirit box said, ‘I’m deciding.’ One member saw a shadow figure walking near the green sign at the top of the stairs. Another member said they kept looking over to that way because they were sure they could see movement. Another spirit came on the board. The group moved the planchette ten times to get some energy flowing. The spirit box said, ‘Done with the moves.’ The spirit on the board said it was one member’s mother but it didn’t feel strong enough. That member said, ‘What’s my youngest child called?’ The spirit box said, ‘Female. Go through it again.’ The planchette became stronger. It was a passing spirit. The planchette spelt A***HOLE. The group were talking about how one member should lie in bed and the planchette spelt FRONT. The K2 went off. The group started talking about Fanny and the K2 meter went off again. Another male spirit came on the board who worked on the farms around Wickham. He said he liked the laughter. The evening ended at 2am.
