We welcome enquiries from anyone who either might wish to join the Circle, or who feels the curiosity to sit as a guest witness in order to experience a seance within a supportive environment, perhaps having never sat before.
What to expect? Well, to start with, forget 'Most Haunted'! Our Circle sits several times weekly with a variety of outcomes experienced at each sitting. Some of the demonstrations by those within the spirit world are quite dramatic, others are less so. Sometimes we sit quietly with very little evidential phenomena being displayed, but the environment of the Lodge always offers a welcome peace to those who sit. On other occasions the regular spirit communicators offer spiritual guidance through trance communication. Within some seances transfiguration of the medium's physical appearance occurs. Transfiguration may be of subliminal appearance, or a dramatic demonstration that is clearly seen and witnessed by all those present. At other times we sit within total blackout conditions and invite the demonstration of physical phenomena, never knowing whether in fact this will occur, but enjoying the sensations of high energy nevertheless. Note: New sitters will not be seated in the dark.

Do we keep records for evidential purposes? Yes. During the past year most seances held within the Lodge have been recorded using an Olympus digital voice recorder VN-2100PC. During 2009 many seances will also be visually recorded using a Sony HDR-SR11 camcorder. All such recordings are made for evaluation purposes and are only published when considered potentially evidential of continuing spirit consciousness after physical death. It is important that guests realise that all such recordings remain the property of the Bristol Spirit Lodge Circle and that ultimately the founder retains copyright.
Are there any behavioural expectations for guests? Yes. The Lodge is a spiritual venue. We offer respect to our invited guests, and exchange respect with those within the spirit world who are invited to communicate with us. Should there be any disruptive element, on either side, the seance will be closed.
By meeting with us beforehand, guests will have the opportunity to ask questions and prepare themselves to enjoy their experience here.
Looking forward to hearing from you...

NOTE: We are not affiliated to the Spiritualist church. Circle members privately hold their own beliefs. We know that as everyone is born into this world so everyone passes from it. Genuine curiosity around the subject of birth and death is natural and felt by all regardless of their religious belief.
The Bristol Spirit Lodge Circle is a private home circle shared by like-minded people, it is not a business venture. All regular seances are held free of charge and neither sitter's nor Medium's receive payment. Donations towards the running costs of the Circle are very much welcomed but are never requested.
