Private Tour and Seance at the House on Bourbon
A seance is when people sit around a round table and talk to a ghost. Most likely the ghost is a friend or a family member who is dead but very much alive in the spirit realm. Meeting a real Psychic Medium who's able to connect and give messages from those on the other side is a once in a lifetime opportunity. If a person feels they don't have someone on the other side they wish to talk to, they can still receive a message from their own angels and spirit guides whom they never had known before. This experience includes a spiritual reading and you can also learn the istory of the 1800s-style home.
