PLUS THREE PREMIUM EXPERIENCES ... (It's ADULTIER, & SPOOKIER)
The Premium Voyage into Vintage Victorian Spiritualism entertaining, captivating and interactive theatrical presentations and historically authentic demonstrations providing a unique opportunity to explore Victorian-era practices and traditions surrounding the afterlife (each of the following is included when you choose the VIP experience):
The Tools and Practices of Spiritualism (~11 PM): Step into the Past: A Glimpse into Victorian Culture - Discover the Surprising Practices of Spiritualism: A guided exploration of the tools of Victorian spiritual practices and traditions and their tools
The Midnight Dumb Supper: In this Victorian tradition, we'll observe a moment of silence for wandering spirits at midnight before taking a bite of a dumb cake and exiting the venue in reverse to sleep with the dumb cake under our pillows in order to dream of our true loves (some will choose to repeat the charm on Halloween proper at midnight from their dining area to their beds).*
After Midnight Spirit Mediumship (after the Dumb Supper): Delve into the mysterious beyond with an immersive journey into the mysteries of Victorian Spiritualism with our gifted metaphysical advisors Madame Lux & Madame LaLune after the midnight Dumb Supper
*Once again, we do not advise driving home in reverse unless you'd like to visit with the Mills Police Department, Casper Police Department, or Natrona County Sheriff's Department. We are also not liable for any nocturnal visions about true loves that present complications which should be taken as pure novelty, but are happy to take serious credit for any happy revelations that lead to positive outcomes.
