About Exploring Victorian Spiritualism

Are you wondering what to expect at our next event Exploring Victorian Spiritualism?

This unique event is a guided tour of the General Daniel Bissell House where members of the Mourning Society will take you through a timeline of the Spiritualism Movement from it’s beginnings in the 1840s spirit rapping cases through the automatic writing and spirit mediums of the late 1910s - highlighting a few of the famous spiritualists and skeptics of the era. You’ll learn about the history of spirit communication devices (including live demonstrations!) and experience a reenactment of a 19th century séance.

We can't promise any real spirits but we can guarantee you'll learn something new!

Tours start every 20 minutes. Space is limited as we are working in a historic home. Get your tickets now for this event by clicking on one of the links below and be sure to check out our other events coming up this year here.
