At the turn of the century, séances were the most thrilling nights of people’s lives — not because they were terrifying, but because they were wondrous. Spooky, social, esoteric, provocative… Phasmagorica revives that forgotten magic. Reserved for only nine guests. Enter the chamber — opulent and waiting. No guide will accompany you. No medium will intervene. Inside a hexagonal room shaped by sacred geometry and immersed in Dolby Atmos sound, a sequence unfolds: choices are made, oracles drawn, objects offered, shadows disturbed. Through paramusicology and the voice that beckons, something stirs at the threshold between the seen and the unseen. Phasmagorica is an experiential paranormal encounter — a séance reimagined as art. It is a living experiment, a fully contained and tactile installation designed to provoke contact. And perhaps — if you listen closely — something will listen back. No two encounters are the same. No actors. No performance. Only you — and whatever answers. After the experience..... Linger beneath the moonlight as haunting live-looped cello soundscapes by @Rumori drift across the square. Sip complimentary offerings — champagne (courage), sparkling water (clarity), or absinthe (divination) — and wander through scattered stations of the strange: cast a rune, work with a spirit board, or use a spirit bell to seek what else stirs in the darkness. Docents will open select doors, offering glimpses into the homes and haunted histories of Heritage Square. A night of wonders awaits. Important Information Guests must be 21+. Tickets are non-refundable. The experience includes complete darkness, immersive sound and lights, ritual action, and mature themes. Please arrive on time — no late entry once the evening begins.

About Twilight Disturbances
From the esoteric to the unnerving, evenings with Smith are immersive, adults-only journeys into the paranormal — blending story, mystery, ritual, and dark humor. At the heart is Phasmagorica, a groundbreaking immersive installation: part séance, part experiment, where nine guests step inside an opulent hexagonal chamber shaped by sacred geometry, immersive light phenomena, and a 13-speaker Dolby Atmos system to pierce the veil of mortality — no medium, only you, arcane instruments, trigger objects, and the unknown. Separately, Smith’s live séance work — from private A-list gatherings to his acclaimed pop-up series Society of the Séance — offers intimate, theatrical encounters led by Smith himself, conjuring the spirit of 19th-century occult salons: esoteric, social, and delightfully eerie. A member of the Academy of Magical Arts at the Magic Castle, Smith brings a singular mix of atmosphere, tension, and daring to every experience.
