Victorian-Era Séance (Reenactment)

This spooky season, the Victorian-Era Séance Reenactment returns to Beaconsfield on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings throughout October as part of the Charlottetown Scarecrow Festival.

At this participatory and immersive theatrical experience, guests of Beaconsfield Historic House will step back into the 19th century to join our mysterious (and fictitious) spirit medium, Madame Evangeline Gray, as she hosts a séance in our elegant double drawing room. There, she will summon the spirits using the trickery and illusions that enchanted audiences of the past.

This experience is followed by a talk-back where visitors will learn about the impact these ghostly events had on the Victorians, ask questions, and peer beyond the veil to discover how some of these tricks were accomplished. This event is unique as it is one of the rare occasions where the Foundation pulls back the exhibition ropes and invites guests to take a seat. This year, returning guests will discover new mysteries under the guidance of Madame Grey.

No pets are allowed but service animals are welcome. Recommended for ages 12 and up. No children under 8 are permitted.

Admission: $25 + HST
