Dr. Nelson's Séance Theater is an audience participation sitting in the style of late 1800's early 1900's séances as conducted by mediums, and researched by the Society for Psychical Research, the American Society for Psychical Research, and various universities studying the phenomena. Attendees are encouraged to dress up in evening wear for the séance to get the full effect of transporting themself to another time, before radio and television, where this was considered some of the finest parlor entertainment.

Attendees will learn a bit about early psychical research, and how séances were researched. Attendees will participate in ESP card testing, and can receive readings from the sitter. Other spiritualist activities will prepare the sitters for a classic seance in complete darkness.
