Someone murdered Dr. Harvey Burdell on January 30th, 1857 in his New York City home. The case remains unsolved, leaving restless ghosts behind. Minnie Seymour and Charlotte Worthington invite you to a séance to reveal the truth. This immersive play into the past brings historic documents and actual witness testimony to life. You will meet the two ladies at the Southwest corner of Astor Place and Lafayette Street at 8 pm, and they will lead you to the secret, haunted parlor in the historic 19th-century Colonnade Row, where the Instruments of Darkness Tell Us Truths.

You will meet the medium, Charlotte Worthington and Minnie Seymour at the Southwest corner of Astor Place and Lafayette Street (20 Astor Place, New York City) where the show begins promptly at 8 pm on Friday and Saturday nights.

Show will occur in inclement weather (shelter at show meeting point), post tour vouchers for a future tour offered for Astor ticket holders.
