Dr. Nelson will provide a brief background on the history of seances, and will conduct experiments using the tools of the spiritualists of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Each participant will be able to conduct their own seance session with a pendulum and will be walked through the process by Dr. Nelson. Participants will be given the opportunity to speak with the spirits using a spirit board/Talking board/Ouija board. Participants will then be put into complete darkness (or as close to it as possible) and will work with each other to conduct a seance in an attempt to experience physical and spiritual phenomena.
Dr. Nelson does not claim to be a medium, and is utilizing tools and techniques that spiritualists would use to conduct sittings. The seance is for entertainment purposes only.

Participants will have an entertaining evening demonstrating what a might have happened at a sceance at the turn of the last century. Some spooky things may happen and people will have stories to tell their friends!
