New for 2025 – Secrets of Séance at Discovery Harbour
Step into the mysterious world of Victorian Spiritualism with Secrets of Séance, an immersive new experience at Discovery Harbour. In the 1800s, séances weren’t just quiet gatherings—they were dramatic events where religion, science, and showmanship collided in a public struggle to explain the unexplainable.
Guests will explore how séances captured the imagination of the Victorian era. Expect to encounter ghostly sights, eerie sounds, strange scents, and mysterious objects said to appear from beyond. While deeply rooted in Victorian traditions, Spiritualism also sparked surprising questions about society, class, and gender roles.
Unveil the Secrets of Séance
Step inside one of our historic buildings—set on a site steeped in ghost stories—and take part in an experience that pulls back the curtain on the mysterious world of Victorian Spiritualism.
What to expect:
- Begin with a traditional-style séance, complete with eerie sounds, ghostly movements, and otherworldly surprises.
- Then, discover the truth behind the illusion, as we reveal the clever techniques and hidden tools used to create these supernatural effects.
- Learn how 19th-century spiritualists captivated—and sometimes deceived—their audiences in their quest to connect with the beyond.
This immersive experience is perfect for those fascinated by history, the paranormal, and the power of belief.
