About the Event

Enlarge

Experience Black Point Estate & Gardens in a new, spine-tingling way! Victorians were fascinated by death and finding ways to connect with their former friends and loved ones through the "Great Beyond." Explore this paranormal proclivity in the beautiful dining room of our Queen Ann mansion. Enjoy a tasty cordial and hear tales of the Fox sisters, credited with the creation of the spiritualist movement in America, and learn about Whitewater's Morris Pratt Institute, the country's first spiritualist school. More than an occult parlor game, spiritualism was a new religion that channeled the voices of the dead, linked the present with the past, and conjured new worldly and otherworldly futures. This event also includes a special behind-the-scenes tour of the mansion.
