Nestled in the historic heart of Titchfield village, the Bugle Hotel is a place where time feels stretched thin. Just metres from the ruins of Titchfield Abbey, the canal and River Meon, and opposite the medieval St Peter’s Church, this 400-year-old coaching inn stands proudly as a relic of Hampshire’s past. Yet behind its welcoming bar and cosy rooms lies something else, something mostly unseen but often heard.  We were invited to investigate following staff reports of paranormal activity. Pint glasses tipping over, disembodied footsteps, whispered voices, shadows in empty rooms, classic signs of a haunting. What we found confirmed what many already believe: the Bugle Hotel is very much alive with its past.  The Investigation Begins at The Bugle  We focused our efforts on Rooms 1, 5, and 6, the function room, the bar, and, albeit briefly, in the cellar. From the moment we arrived, the welcome from staff was warm, yet the air around us held a quiet charge. A quick walkaround and baseline EMF checks helped us identify key hotspots. We placed cameras, spirit balls, REM pods, and trigger objects across the property. It didn’t take long for the activity to start.  The kitchen door opened and closed on its own. Suspecting a draft, we positioned a camera, but the motion remained odd even when the doors were closed, I suspected the breeze was responsible however. The function room became our base, and from there, we observed numerous orbs and heard bangs, whispers, and even whistles and what sounded like a growl.  Rooms of Energy and Memory  Room 1 delivered our first jolt. A previously upright lampshade had twisted to one side, repositioning itself... When I lifted it back in place it proved difficult; it had to be lifted and angled to recreate the effect. I also sensed strong emotional energy, what I described -  (Paranormal Hunters UK)]]></media:text>        </media:content>          <dc:creator><![CDATA[Steve Deeks]]></dc:creator>          <dc:date>2026-11-03T15:43:12+00:00</dc:date>          <category><![CDATA[People]]></category><category><![CDATA[News]]></category>        </item>  </channel></rss>
