An Actual Seance

Question

Was looking to book a seance in Salem The only one I found was thru a company called Omen. However I can't seem to find any ratings or reviews on this event. It is listed in the Salem tour book however I always prefer to read some personal reviews before booking anything. Does anyone know about this event or know of another one in the Salem area? We will be there the week before and week after Halloween.

Answer

Salem, Massachusetts is famous for its Halloween and paranormal-themed events, and many visitors are drawn to the idea of attending a seance or spiritual event. While there are several companies offering experiences, it’s wise to research reviews or firsthand accounts before booking.

The event you mentioned through Omen appears in the Salem tour book, but the lack of online reviews makes it difficult to verify its quality or authenticity. Seances in Salem vary widely—some are theatrical, designed for entertainment, while others are led by self-described mediums aiming for a genuine spiritual experience. Knowing the style of the event in advance is helpful to match your expectations.

Other options for seances or paranormal experiences in Salem include:

Witch History Museum & Seance Nights: Occasionally hosts guided seance events or spiritual history evenings. Check their calendar around late October for special programs.
Salem Psychic Readings / Medium Sessions: Some local psychics and mediums offer private or small-group seance sessions; you can often find them through local listings or by contacting psychic shops in town.
Salem Witch Trials Memorial / Haunted Salem Tours: While not formal seances, several walking tours include interactive or theatrical paranormal experiences that simulate seance-style storytelling.
The Witch Dungeon Museum: Offers live historical reenactments and occasionally special evening events with mystical or spiritual themes.

Tips for booking a seance or similar experience in Salem:

Contact the organizer directly to ask about group size, duration, and what to expect, especially if you prefer a serious versus theatrical experience.
Check social media or local Salem forums for recent visitor experiences—some tours or events may not have formal reviews on sites like TripAdvisor but are discussed in niche communities.
Book early, particularly the week before and after Halloween, as these events fill up quickly due to the high tourist demand.
Be aware of the style and intent of the event—“entertainment” seances will be more theatrical, whereas private medium-led sessions may be more intimate but could be limited in availability.

In summary, while Omen may offer a legitimate seance, the lack of reviews means you should reach out for details or consider alternative local psychics and themed events in Salem. For a mix of authenticity and Halloween excitement, combining a small seance with a haunted or historical tour is a popular choice among visitors during this season.
