Gosport Masonic Hall, Clarence Road, Gosport, Hampshire

6^th March 2026

Start time – 8pm. Ten members present.

The base room was in The Clarence Suite. As the group were getting ready for the evening, a cat ball went off several times. It was decided that no blessings would be said and the group headed upstairs to the back room. Upon entering the room, several members could smell burning but it didn’t last long. The temperature was 19.3 degrees. A stick-man was seen on the SLS camera sitting and then laying across a chair. A K2 meter went up to orange twice and dolly’s eye lit up. The group did some calling out and the motion sensor light in the doorway lit up (it was facing away from the room). The spirit box said, ‘Looking. Help. Not coming.’ The K2 meter lit up again. The spirit box said, ‘Reading.’ The group asked, ‘What are you reading?’ The spirit box said, ‘Get out. Danger.’ The group said, ‘Do you mean us harm?’ The spirit box said, ‘Looking at.’ The group asked, ‘Are you looking at us?’ The spirit box said, ‘Yep.’ The group said, ‘ What’s your name?’ The spirit box said, ‘Alfred. Standing.’ The cat sitting by the door lit up then the dolly lit up. The spirit box said, ‘That’s me.’ NOTE: I have found Alfred Louis Standing who was born in Portsmouth in 1902. He married Ivy Astridge in 1943 and he died in 1967. Is this who we were communicating with? The group asked, ‘What is your surname?’ The spirit box said, ‘Kill’em,’ and a knock was heard. The K2 meter flashed to red. The spirit box said, ‘Look up.’ A brief flash of light was seen. The group asked, ‘How many spirits are in the room with us?’ The spirit box said, ‘Three.’ The group could hear people wandering about and talking downstairs, but there was no-one down there. The spirit box said, ‘The heat. Feeling hot. The fumes. Unlock the door.’ The light sensor in the doorway lit up again. The spirit box said, ‘The touch. The embers. The blaze.’ A war siren noise was played. The spirit box said. ‘My God. Breathe.’ The siren was played again really loudly. The spirit box said, ‘Do one,’ and the K2 meter lit up. The spirit box said, ‘War. Siren.’ The group asked, ‘Are we still speaking to Alfred?’ The K2 meter went up to red. The siren noise was played again and the spirit box said, ‘Help. Help. Get lost. You did it.’ Using the SLS camera, a stick-man was seen on the table where the Ouija board was. Dolly’s eye lit up. The light sensor in the doorway lit up, then dolly lit up again.

The group opened the Ouija board and a male spirit came through. The SLS camera appeared to turn off all by itself. The spirit box said, ‘Quickly.’ The planchette was trying to spell a name….BIM, and a thump was heard. The spirit box said, ‘It’s open. She’s leaving. Dozens. Dies. Bomb it. Hiss.’ The planchette said there were seven spirits in the room. The spirit box said, ‘Shoot one down. Nar, nar. Iris. Kimberley. Easy. Die. Prison. Behind.’ The group asked loads of questions on the board but the planchette kept going to ‘no’ in answer to everything. The group said, ‘Are you having a joke with us,’ and the spirit box said, ‘Test.’ The spirit on the board said they were a spirit guide and dolly’s eye lit up. The spirit box said, ‘Good boy. Give it. Here’s some gossip.’ Dolly kept lighting up and the temperature rose to 20.4 degrees. The spirit on the board said they were just messing about and the spirit box said, ‘I done it.’ A new male spirit came on the board and said they had been in WW1 but had refused to serve in the army and had been killed for cowardice. The spirit box said, ‘Feathers. Criminal. Brace. Die’ NOTE: Men who refused to fight in WW1 were known as Conscientious Objectors (COs). They were frequently viewed and treated like criminals, cowards and traitors by the government and the general public. Many were publicly shamed and handed white feathers (a symbol of cowardice) by women or members of the public. Some COs were taken to France with their regiments where they were sentenced to death by firing squad for refusing to obey orders. The spirit box said, ‘Question it. He’s good. Hello. Alresford. In the centre. Get out. Horses.’ The spirit appeared to have left the Ouija board. The spirit box said, ‘Pull up. Smash. Again. What more do you want. Bomb. Innocent.’ Several people could hear footsteps and everyone felt cold. The spirit box said, ‘It’s cold.’ A new male spirit came on the board and spelt…..ALFRED. He said he was connected to the land here. The spirit box said, ‘Looking. Couple of prostitutes. Stuck. Pause. Suspicion.’ The group asked the spirit to spell their surname and the planchette spelt….KILL. The spirit box said, ‘Where’s Steve gone. Away. Buzz. Panic is off. Genius.’ The group were asking lots of questions and Alfred was getting angry. The planchette spelt….KILL. The spirit box said, ‘Thank you. Poison her.’ The temperature had gone up to 20.7 degrees.

A female spirit came on the board who was connected to the building. She spelt her name….MAY. The spirit box said, ‘Whore.’ The spirit confirmed she was a lady of the night. There were three female spirits on the board who tired the men out. The spirit box said, ‘He’s knackered. Linda. Edward. Honest. I’m hardcore.’ The planchette said the year was 1827. The group were talking to May but Linda was there too. The group asked May to spell her surname and the planchette went to ‘B’. The spirit box said, ‘Betty.’ The spirit confirmed that Betty was her surname. NOTE: I have found May Betty who who died in Alverston (5 minutes away) but she died in 1699. On the board May said she had been happy here in the building and worked from here. The spirit box said, ‘Doppelgänger.’ May said she died from natural causes and that she hangs about outside the Temple. The spirit box said, ‘Nosey. Daisy. Casualties. Hello mum. Gemma.’ May said that one member of the group had seen Linda before. Linda travels and works from the bar to the toilet area. May is based outside the temple and another member of the group has also seen her before. May said her friends died from the pox with sores on their faces and bodies. The spirit box said, ‘Found it.’ NOTE: Just before the investigation started, one member had been affected by an itchy rash on their neck. The spirit box said, ‘My son put me here. Never cheat. Behind the bar. Drink up. Beer. Two a penny. Different. Dolly. Loud. You wait.’ Lots of spirits were waiting to talk on the Ouija board. The spirit box said, ‘Nice one. Behind you. I’m a different one. Friendship.’ One spirit on the board means the group harm. One member said that every time he walks near the board it goes quiet on there. The spirit box said, ‘Love. It. He’s not the full ticket.’ The whole group started to laugh. The spirit box said, ‘You’re laughing. Oh dear. Hang on. Measles. Battered man. I love to joke. Peaceful.’ The picture on the SLS camera started to go a bit crazy. A stick figure was seen trying to use the Ouija board. It looked to be reaching over the board or sitting on someone’s lap and it looked to be a child. The group asked the stick figure to give them a name. The spirit box said, ‘Steven. He’s on the board. Alice was. Freed her. Quite like that one.’ One member took a photo and the flash on the camera make the baby doll cry (it’s a light sensor on the baby doll). The spirit box said, ‘Idiot. Lovely.’ The Ouija board was closed and the group did a little bit of calling out. They said, ‘Does anyone else want to talk to us.’ The spirit box said, ‘Now. Back again. Waiting. Heads gone. Here you are. Revenge. I’m with Jesus.’

The group packed up and headed downstairs to the bar area and set up some toys and cat balls. The temperature was 20.5 degrees. The group did some calling out and dolly (sitting on the floor under the bar) lit up. Orbs were seen through the camera where dolly was sitting. Dolly lit up two more times and more orbs were seen in the room through the camera. Some orbs were really big and all orbs were travelling very fast. Orbs were seen coming from dolly and shooting straight across, then several were seen on the floor at the other end of the room, again moving really quickly. Dolly lit up twice again and one member could smell ashes, like from a fire. Dolly was going on and off on command and a stick-man was seen on the SLS camera standing by the dolly. A K2 meter on the table went to green and then to orange. One member had gone into the Temple to sit in there all alone. Spirits were asked to do something whilst he was in there. When that member returned a few minutes later, he said a chair behind him went down by itself and he felt someone touching him. Two members went to investigate the Temple and said one of them also got touched. The K2 meter lit up again and a stick-man was seen on the SLS camera looking into a bag on a chair. It looked as if he was trying to open the bag. The temperature had gone down to 17.2 degrees. The group were talking about how cold it had become and dolly’s eye lit up. The K2 meter next to dolly went to green. The group were talking about the bar and the K2 meter next to dolly went green again. Two members at the far end of the room heard a growl.

A stick-man was seen through the SLS camera standing next to dolly who was sitting on the floor. One member pretended to kick the stick-man and the stick-man’s arm shot up in the air the dolly’s eye lit up. Another member walked past and said, ‘Hello mate.’ The stick-man held out his arm like he wanted to shake hands. The member held out his hand and it looked as if the stick-man was shaking it. The other member who was trying to kick the stick-man said his leg felt very hot. As he said that the K2 meter shot up to red. Another member was sitting at a table at the end of the room with three SLS cameras pointing her way. A stick figure was seen walking around the member and all three SLS cameras picked this up. The stick figure looked like an animal walking around the table. Everyone thought it was a cat. One member felt their chin being tickled and another stick-man was seen near the display board. Two members were sitting in the Temple and said they could smell cigar smoke and got touched on the arm. The group went for a tea break in The Clarence Suite. Noises were heard near the outside door and also by the door that leads to the bar. A flash of light was seen by the mirror.

After the tea break everyone went into the Temple. The temperature was 19.9 degrees. The spirit box said, ‘Help us. Fish. Here.’ A metallic ‘donk’ sound was heard and the spirit box said, ‘Door.’ Everyone complained of having cold legs. The spirit box said, ‘Devil,’ and people noticed one of the microphones hanging from the ceiling started to swing. One member started to read from a book. There was a large letter ‘G’ hanging from the centre of the ceiling, and as the member read out loud, the ‘G’ swung very fast. The spirit box said, ‘Witch. Too much.’ The group were discussing about someone who had died in the room and the spirit box said, ‘Bless them.’ A noise was heard, possibly coming from behind the curtain. Another noise was heard coming from a chair next to the curtain. Two stick-men were seen through the SLS camera standing next to the member who was reading from the book. Another member found a sword and picked it up. A stick-man was seen looking as if it was hitting her. Two stick-men were seen dancing then they laid on the floor. The temperature had gone down to 19.2 degrees. The spirit box said, ‘It runs. Get off. Miracles. Miracles.’ The stick-man was still standing next to the member with the sword. The spirit box said. ‘I’m sick.’ The member who had been reading from the book did a prayer of protection and all the stick-men disappeared. A visible orb was seen under the table in the middle of the room that had an Ouija board on it. The spirit box said, ‘Continue. Here.’ Another visible orb was seen. The spirit box said, ‘ Cold. Proven. Back off.’ One member saw a flash and another member saw a shadow figure sitting in an empty chair. A creaking noise was heard. One member knocked three times and a knock was heard in answer. One member thought they saw a shadow figure walking by her. One member was calling out quite loudly and the spirit box said, ‘Go. You’re hard. Getting lippy now.’ The Ouija board was opened without a protection prayer. A male spirit who was connected to the building came on the board. He said he was a second degree Freemason but refused to give any other information. The spirit box said, ‘Bored. End more. End more. Tied up and just walked out. Hello. Hello. It’s not my night. Carrier.’ The planchette started to spell ….GIK, but then wouldn’t write any more and every question was answered with ‘no’. The spirit box said, ‘Not going to try.’ A big stick-man was seen through the SLS camera standing next to the large chair. Everyone was complaining of feeling completely drained and energy levels were very low. Nothing more happened in the Temple so the group went into the room that has the mirrors round it. A cat ball on the table went off then kept going on and off on request. The temperature was 19 degrees. People were complaining of being cold. There were vents in the ceiling and someone said they could be blowing cold air but the group couldn’t verify that. The group asked lots of questions. They asked if there was someone in the room the spirit didn’t like, and everyone said their name out loud. When two members said their names, the cat ball lit up each time. The spirit box said, ‘Evil’ in a really sinister voice. Men’s voices could be heard in the corridor but there was no-one there. One member said they felt tingly all over and the cat ball went off. Everyone said the atmosphere felt weird and the cat ball went off. Everyone was still feeling drained and tired and the cat ball went off again. The spirit box said, ‘Jack.’ The group asked lots of questions about sailors. The cat ball lit up when ‘canon’ was said. The cat ball kept going off and wouldn’t stop. The group asked the spirit to stop the ball so they could ask more questions and the spirit box said, ‘Deal.’ The ball did eventually stop then lit up when the group asked if the spirit had served in the navy. The temperature had gone down to 17.3 degrees. A flash of light was seen on the toy cat. The group asked, ‘Is there a reason why your are finding it hard to communicate,’ and the cat ball went off.

Nothing else happened so the group decided to go back into The Clarence Suite. Half of the group walked on ahead into the hall, and the other half went into the bar. They said, ‘Are we supposed to be in here?’ and the spirit box said, ‘Wrong.’ Everyone was in The Clarence Suite and set out some toys and cat balls then did some calling out. The spirit box said, ‘I’m angry.’ Dolly who was sitting on a chair lit up. The group were talking and laughing and dolly lit up again. The group asked lots of questions but nothing much happened. Dolly went off a couple of times but not in answer to any questions. The group asked for dolly and two cat balls to be lit up. One cat ball lit up. The group heard what sounded like an owl hooting. The group were discussing about going into the kitchen next and the rempod went off. Everyone’s energy levels seemed to be very low and people still felt drained.

The group went into the kitchen and a thud was heard coming from the back kitchen. The group were talking amongst themselves and the rempod went off. The temperature was 17.9 degrees. The group was talking about visiting haunted locations and the rempod went off again. Nothing else happened so everyone went back into the Temple for it was very quiet to start off with, then one member started to speak in an authoritative voice, telling the spirits to light up some balls. Teddy lit up. The spirit was told to light up a ball again and teddy lit up again. The group were discussing army divisions and teddy lit up when ‘Royal Marines’ were mentioned. Teddy also lit up when Royal Air force was mentioned and also when asking if the spirit was French. One member said, ‘Getting on my grunt,’ but said they didn’t know why they said that because it’s not something they have ever said before. NOTE: Grunt is military slang which historically refers to infantrymen in the U.S. Army or Marine Corps. The group were talking about the possibility of spirits draining their energy and the cat ball and teddy lit up. Not much else happened unless the group spoke as if they were ordering the spirits about or saying they were leaving, then the cat ball or teddy lit up. The rempod randomly went off, but nothing else happened. The evening ended at 1.45am and everyone said how much their energy levels rose to normal once they left the building.
