£25pp Halloween Investigation until 3! Fort Widley, the Victorian fortress on Portsdown Hill near Portsmouth:

👻 Notable Ghostly Encounters
1. The Tall Shadow with Lantern
Numerous visitors and investigators report a 7‑foot dark figure, sometimes carrying a lantern, silently watching before vanishing into the tunnels. Its heavy footsteps are often heard without explanation .
2. The Drummer Boy
A tragic legend says a young drummer boy fell down a spiral staircase—possibly chased by a superior—and now his faint drumming or rapid footsteps echo through the subterranean corridors .
3. Whistling Sergeant‑Major
Ghostly whistling—attributed to a sergeant-major—resonates through the old mess areas. Witnesses describe a sense of foreboding near this presence, especially in the sergeants’ mess .
4. The White Lady
Believed to be the spirit of a murdered woman—possibly a soldier’s wife or a prostitute—her spectral figure is sometimes sighted fleeing or guarding the child spirits that linger in the tunnels .
5. Disembodied Voices & Poltergeist Activity
Investigations from groups like Ghost2Ghost report hearing voices saying phrases such as “get out,” “leave,” and “get her.” One account describes a misty figure triggering equipment without touching it—suggesting intelligent spirit interaction .
