The Experiment

A paranormal experiment.

Phasmagorica is an intimate séance experience for thirteen guests in Santa Fe, New Mexico - a beautifully constructed world of light, sound, clairvoyance and the enduring tools of spirit communication.

Guests are taken on a curated journey toward the veil between worlds, encountering trigger items, and arcane instruments along the way - seeking synchronicity and contact from the other side.

You become the medium.

What happens next has fascinated believers and confounded skeptics.

The Invitation

For the curious & adventurous

Believer. Skeptic. Hopeful skeptic. All are welcome in the Chapter House.

You will arrive with a small circle of guests and be received by the Archivist. The evening begins with attunement: a preparation of attention and clairvoyance testing. From there, you'll cross into the antechamber where the first conditions are set, before entering the opulent chamber at the center of the experiment.

Belief is not required. Only a willingness to open yourself to what might answer.

There are no jump scares. No theatrical ghosts or trickery.

After the experiment, you are welcomed into the Salon — a richly appointed room of curiosities, refreshments, conversation and post-experiment revelry among the initiated.

Salon Nights & Events

For those who return, the door does not close.

The Society of the Séance is the gathering place for Phasmagorica alumni. Membership is granted to all who complete the experiment, along with a field guide, a pin, and the key to the Society.
