Ghost Hunt at Fort Widley

High on Portsdown Hill, Fort Widley’s Victorian buildings and pitch-black chalk tunnels provide a dramatic setting for a hands-on paranormal investigation. Led by experienced Dark Encounters investigators, small teams set up and run experiments such as lone vigils, EVP sessions and dowsing across the site, then regroup to compare findings against two decades of recorded cases. The event emphasises genuine investigation over theatrical scares and includes briefings, guided investigation, regular refreshment breaks and a final debrief to share results.

What's included
A full briefing on ghost hunting techniques and the plan for the night
Guidance from an experienced investigator for each small group
Use of our technical equipment and torches for investigators

A debrief where every team reports findings and comparisons are made with the Dark Encounters casebook

Highlights
Investigate extensive Victorian fort buildings and chalk tunnels not usually open for hands-on work
Run real experiments yourself — vigils, EVP work and dowsing — rather than watching a staged show
Work in small groups guided by experienced investigators and compare findings against 21 years of case history
