Long before true crime podcasts, Coloradans packed parlors to watch mediums summon the dead, and the Aurora History Museum is bringing that history back for one night. Historian James Lopez walks through how the séance emerged from 19th century spiritualism and spread across the state's culture of mediums, spirit guides and the "spook exposers" who tried to debunk them.
The lecture runs 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11, included with general museum admission. Afterward, for an extra fee, the museum opens up Trolley 610, its restored historic streetcar, for a live demonstration séance.
Admission is $5 for adults, $1 for kids, free for museum members; the séance add-on is priced separately at the door. The museum is at 15051 E. Alameda Parkway.
