This after-hours event for adults captures the mystery and intrigue of the Victorian fascination with the supernatural. Wander candlelit galleries, participate in a séance, have your spirit photograph taken, and hear chilling stories of the sea — all within the museum's atmospheric collection of whaling-era relics.
