Dr Iain Lightfoot and Barry Depp wrote on their findings: I would like to start with a wonderful quote by one of the team at The Bugle. "The fun starts when it gets dark..." how right they were! 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

TOBERMORY, SCOTLAND - JUNE 09: A White Tailed Sea Eagle comes in to catch a fish thrown overboard from a wildlife viewing boat on June 9, 2019 on the Isle of Mull, Scotland. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), a British conservation charity, is spending the week tagging the birds and as part of a broad ongoing conservation effort to record the population of breeding pairs of white-tailed eagles across Scotland. There are currently around 22 breeding pairs of white-tailed eagles on the Isle of Mull, with the first successful breeding pair occurring in 1985. The eagles are the largest in the UK and the fourth-largest in the world, with a wingspan up to eight feet, and are more closely related to Old World vultures than their island neighbors, golden eagles. They were hunted to extinction in the UK in the early 19th century, with the last bird shot in the Hebrides 1918. Scotland is home to around 130 breeding pairs, whose presence supports a tourist economy of around £5m GBP in the Isle of Mull and £2.4m GBP for the Isle of Skye, farther up Scotlands Western Coast. The close monitoring of this apex predator is part of a re-introduction programme run by the Roy Dennis Wildlife Foundation in partnership with Forestry England. The rewilding scheme hopes to release around 60 birds on the Isle of Wight over five years. The project has courted controversy from some members of National Farmers Union (NFU) who worry that the birds may take lambs, but the programmes proponents argue that any impact on livestock is likely to be minimal due to the abundance of other food sources.
