You Can Attend A Victorian Séance Inside This Haunted Superior Mansion

Fairlawn Mansion in Superior has a week of Halloween activities planned, including a Victorian Seance. The special spooky event happens on Saturday, October 24th at the mansion, with several times you can book.

The experience includes a tour through the historic Fairlawn Mansion, which people say is haunted. During the event, a Victorian Seance Experience will be led by seance entertainer Mike Callahan. You'll be immersed in a 1800s atmosphere "for an evening of tricks, treats, and ghostly vibes!"

Ghost Stories From Fairlawn Mansion

There have been rumored sightings of Martin Pattison, who built the mansion and lived there until his death in 1918. People have claimed to see his ghost in the parlor and library, along with phantom smells of cigar smoke.

I've toured the Fairlawn Mansion several times, and each guide has told stories about a servant girl who's been seen dressed in 1800s period clothing. Some of the stories involve her interacting with guests.

Children From Orphanage Days

The Fairlawn Mansion became an orphanage in the 1920s, and some people have said they've heard the laughter of children in nursery areas and in the basement.

Victorian Séance at Fairlawn Mansion

The evening starts with a mini flashlight tour through the mansion and up to the third floor. That's where you are immersed in the world of Victorian Spiritualism and attend the hour-long Victorian Séance performance by magician Mike Callhan.

Session times are at 6 pm, 8 pm, and 10 pm. The experience is an hour and 15 minutes long and costs $45 per person. There are no elevators in the mansion, so guests will need to be able to climb stairs to the third floor.

Check out the other events, including a longer flashlight tour, haunted history talk, and more from the Superior Historic Properties website.
