Paranormal Adventures are running this ghost hunt at an earlier time of 6pm until Midnight.

This huge Fort was built in 1861 to defend Portsmouth from sea and land and is part of the ‘Palmerston Follies’.

A central spiral staircase descends from the parade ground to give you access to the four main underground tunnels, which run deep within Portsdown Hill, these radiate out from the base of the staircase.

The tunnels lead to the barrack block and caponiers. The main magazine is located half way along the tunnel to the barrack block on the west side. There is a semi circular tunnel bypassing the main magazine.

It is in these underground tunnels and chambers that we find most of the paranormal activity is reported, whispering voices and other audible phenomena, plus many types of physical activity.

Ghost hunters have detected a very dominant male spirit and say they feel a sense of foreboding when he approaches. He has been sighted walking with a lantern and peering over people as a 7ft (2.13m) tall dark shadow. Rapid footsteps have been heard running along the tunnels and, apparently, he often plays games.

A female spirit is said to be the wife of one of the married couples that resided at the fort or one of the prostitutes that came up to the Fort to cater for the male occupants. The story says she was murdered there and her tormented spirit is always trying to flee her aggressor. It is also said that she looks after the spirits of the children found within the tunnels.

Our team of experienced investigators look forward to welcoming you and will demonstrate how to use all of the latest ghost hunting equipment that you will be using during the evenings experiments and team vigils.

Investigation starts at 6pm and runs till 12am.

Tea and coffee will be provided throughout the night
