about spike report

Introducing Spike Report, a spiking database to protect you and your mates on a night out. After recent incidents, we realised there was no viewable database on spikings in the UK. You can report an incident to the police, but you can’t view what others have reported.

With Spike Report, you can report a spiking incident but also view what others have submitted. Search by venue, city, or method of spiking. We’re all about giving you the info you need to have the safest night possible - including the date of the spiking so you know when it happened, where and how.

I left my drink on the small table to go outside for a fag. I’ve been going to reflex for ages and never had anything bad happen when leaving my drink on the side. You have to or the security tell you to go back inside with it. I had a pint and a single Malibu drink before this particular one. I finished my drink and within 30 minutes I was feeling sick and dizzy with my head in the toilet. I had passed out for around an hour/ an hour and a half when someone found me in the toilet. I was unable to speak or stand up properly. I was freezing cold and couldn’t find any of my friends as they thought I went home. I ended up finding my boyfriend and was felt horrific the next day as well. Worst experience of my life. I’m very careful when going outside now. I’ll either finish my drink or ask a friend who doesn’t smoke to wait with the drinks.

My two friends popped their drinks down for 2 minutes and one of them spotted a short light haired guy pouring a powder into our drinks. We confronted him, he told us it was an accident. We took the drinks to the bar and asked for a kit to test for drugs, they didn’t have one and told security, who held the man in the club until the police came about 20 minutes later. We gave statements and were kept updated. Our drinks tested positive for drugs when the police tested them. He was also seen on CCTV. They released him Sunday morning due to being unable to 100% confirm it was him on CCTV so he’s on bail until the forensics come back with clothing and drug swabs.

Had a couple of drinks and afterwards don’t remember a thing, left venue alone and flat mates found me on the doorstep with my face all cut up and swollen. There’s an hour and a half unaccounted for that I was alone between leaving friends at the venue and getting home (usually a 15 min walk)

Went to Queen's Court and Fibre, ordered one drink and a shot in Queens Court, then had one drink at Fibre. All of a sudden my friend started being violently sick, was incontinent, went limp, was drifting in and out of consciousness. Luckily the staff at Fibre were so nice, the bouncers took my friend into the back area and looked after her, they gave her wager and foil blankets to keep warm and phoned an ambulance. Unfortunately I couldn't get her to A and E by myself as I couldn't carry her, and no taxis would take her. One of the bouncers actually drove us to A and E himself which was so helpful. The next day my friend noticed a scratch and a pin prick mark on the inside of her arm. We'd been so careful with our drinks that night and not spoken to or danced with any guys so I think someone had brushed past her and injected her.

I only had 4 drinks so when I started throwing up foam I knew I had been spiked. I think I was injected due to two small injection looking marks on my arm. I was fine at 1:15am but by 2am I was in the toilets uncontrollably throwing up. My speech was very slurred and I felt very out of breath from just sitting on the floor. There was a female bouncer who came into the toilets and helped my friend carry me out of the club. She carried me out the back way so no one had to see the state I was in. Once we were in outside, I sat on the floor as I started throwing up again. By this point, I couldn’t even hold my head up, I couldn’t see as everything was a blurr and then I started throwing up foam. I was in and out of it, I didn’t know what was going on. I was throwing up a lot of foam. Luckily, my friend did not leave my side for a second so I got home safely.

Spiked with ketamine, frothing at the mouth, passed out in the toilet. Bar and security staff presumed I was too drunk and called the police. Police contacted ambulance service and I had an overnight stay in JPH where the staff were horrid until I told them what I suspected had happened, then full body examination and police report completed.

So I went with my two mates to Shanghai Club for Tao Saturday, never usually go to Shanghai on a Saturday but as a few of my pals who work at Bourbon had the night off thought it was an idea, they never showed up because of person reasons. But I took my two pals out to the smoking area outside the club, before I said that I asked two boys “look after my drink please” to which they said yeah but I came back in five minutes later to collect my drink as I couldn’t take it outside and tbh I felt fine to begin with, that was all about to change. My pal who shall remain nameless works at WhyNot and she came with her pals for a few drinks and we left at finishing time to go to afters but I started to come out with a lot of nonsense talk which at first I thought was just the alcohol but I started to get headaches when I got back to the flat and I started walking in a completely awkward way, it had well kicked in by morning. I woke up with no memory of what happened in the morning at an after party in Chesser near Slateford and when I tried to walk down the road to go to the ASDA I was feeling sores all over and my lips went completely inflamed I couldn’t remember where I was or who I was on the phone to, then I started getting migraines after. That’s when I knew I had been spiked.

Out for the night in a few pubs around town, didn’t drink much before but then after 2 pints in the masonic i lost absolutely all recollection of anything, vomited alot and have been told that i walked back into town which is the complete wrong direction for me to get home, I did fortunately make it home however I literally remember being in the masonic late evening…and the next thing I remember is waking up at home the next day. Not to tarnish the reputation of the masonic it’s a good pub with good staff and the regulars are all great. Just obviously that night a bad bunch come in. I know which group of lads it was in there. Be seriously careful when out. You hear about spiking and never expect it to happen to you but it’s such a high risk. Look after and look out for your friends and never leave any of them. Ensure everyone in your group has means of getting home be that a taxi, a lift, or walking with a friend. I’ve only just reported this now as i wanted to keep quiet about it, I’m a grown man and it had me down at my knees as vulnerable as anything. But seeing everything else going on people just need to be aware of the massive risk of it. Take care all.

Stood at the bar in Fever, not had many drinks and only had 1 drink in Fever. I wasn’t aware I’d been spiked at the time but I backed out and can’t remember a thing from that point on. My friend, who isn’t from around Shrewsbury, had to look after me. I was lay on the ground, police just walking past me and my friend not offering her any help. Couple of days later I noticed a small bruise on my back, seeked medical advice where they told me it was where a needle had been.

Only spent £20 on my night out. No recollection of anything after being in the venue. Lost my bike and was told I acted out of character by shouting/swearing at other people/police. Lucky I made it home with my 30 minute walk home…

It wasn’t me who got spiked, but I had finished work and was about to go out drinking with my boyfriend and his friend who we both work with. I got to Amigos which is where they were getting some chips and nuggets. My boyfriend looked at me as I tapped his knee and immediately started puking all over the floor. This is extremely unlikely for my boyfriend as he has a high tolerance towards alcohol. We didn’t think anything of it as we just thought he’d had too many shots. His friend wasn’t puking, so I again assumed he hadn’t drank as much as my boyfriend did. My boyfriend, after puking in amigos in town, left town and I took him home after taking his friend home. We got home, he sat on the sofa and was gagging quite a bit. I got him this spare plastic tub we had and he wasn’t sick in that, but he was sick in the toilet and it was A LOT. And when I say a lot, I mean, it could’ve probably filled the entire bottom of a ceramic bath. It was horrible but I managed to get him to bed a couple hours after napping on the sofa. He was fine the next day but realised when he was getting dressed for work that he had a needle mark on the back of his leg. He didn’t feel it, never knew it happened. And that’s what scares me now. How many other people are dealing with this without actually knowing? Always take your friends home❤️

Myself and 3 friends collapsed at Bierkeller within half an hour of each other after drinking the same drink. We had been there for a few hours but had only had a few drinks each and it was the afternoon at the time. We had difficulty breathing and were unconscious until paramedics arrived. The staff recognised our symptoms and administered first aid immediately.

On Saturday the 12th of March, I was in (Apollo) in Newbridge, I got there about 9:30pm, I had three vodkas, and from 11:30pm, I have no memory at all. I have no recollection of anything that happened between 11:30pm and 5am. I ended up in Naas Hospital at approx. 5:45am because I had been having seizures since approx 3:25am, my entire body was having fits during this time, my eyes were rolling to the back of my head, my heart rate was sky rocketing, I was hyperventilating which lead to me loosing consciousness on and off. Around the last 30/45 minutes of this reaction I was fully aware of what was happening to me/who was around/what people were saying, but I had no control over my body, I wasn’t able to stop any of this, I wasn’t able to speak, I let out a cry here and there but that was all I could manage. As soon as I arrived to Naas Hospital, the paramedics started to describe my symptoms, and were very briefly asked “Did she come from Swifts/Apollo?” I was the fifth girl brought in that night. FIVE girls, in ONE night, from ONE nightclub. This is not okay. They ran tests, and they came out clear, they didn’t test me any further, I was sent home. The doctors and nurses believed myself and all the other girls that were brought in on Saturday night were spiked too. I had no idea what I had been given the night before, I had no idea how long the side effects would last.

I was at a gig at the Uni of Leeds Union. Left mine and my friends drink on the windowsill as I went to call her over as she was in the crowd and I didn’t want to spill the drinks. We drank the same amount the whole night and we didn’t have much at all as she was sobered up by the end of the night. After that drink, I lost my memory, had trouble with balance so I fell over a lot and have a lot of bruising on my body. I didn’t realise I was spiked since I completely forgot everything. The morning after I didn’t have a hang over and my head felt perfectly fine, since I didn’t drink much alcohol. However my body was aching a lot, and still is 2 days after. Had to spend the whole day in bed yesterday. The spiking happened at about 9pm or a bit later. The security said to my friend that I should see a medic, but my friend was just trying to sober me up instead, which obviously didn’t work since I wasn’t drunk.

Was out with friends for college RAG week. I had 3 drinks and 2 shots, which is normal for me to be able to drink more. When in scraggs in Carlow after those drinks I started to feel my head go fuzzy and then there’s about a 3 hour gap I think where I’ve no memory of anything. My friends brought me home because I couldn’t stand straight and fell twice. Once I was brought hope I started slowly becoming aware of what was around me. One of my housemates had given me a bucket, water and toast because she didn’t know what was wrong. Even in this half awake stat I knew something didn’t feel right so I went to bed, but couldn’t really feel my body moving. I knew I was going bed but I didn’t feel I had complete control. I woke up 5 hours later and my head was clearer but I felt my body was heavy, my brain felt kind of foggy and I was itchy on my body. My friends helped me with pictures the following day ask which I could remember so we could try figure out roughly when we think I was spiked. Another friend said that because it had been so long whatever was given to me was probably out of my system and no point getting bloods.

I was spiked by a man 5.6-5.8 and blonde/brown hair. He was stood at the bar and bought a large round of drinks and offered me one. I stupidly accepted and cannot recall anything 10mins later. I'm lucky a friend got me home safely. Very scary experience. Apparently I was acting very disinhibited, when I'm usually the opposite. I've tried to report to police, but they haven't turned up twice now as I guess they are very busy.

I accepted a drink at the second room bar between 12am-1am from a guy with a ginger beard that I suspect was spiked. I have absolutely no memory soon after that, was violently ill all of Saturday (after only having 2 drinks) and my friends had to look after me. The same guy also pointed me out to his friends when I stumbled out of the club and attempted to follow me when I walked off alone. Luckily my friends noticed and put me in a taxi.
