A Dickens Christmas Séance will be held Dec. 14 at 3 p.m. at the Pomona Public Library, 625 S Garey Ave.
The veil into the unknown will be opened by an experienced medium, Jim Gallivan, in the authentic Victorian style of séances that Charles Dickens himself attended and may still be attending. Dickens’ “Christmas Carol” uses the vivid ghostly supernatural character of Jacob Marley and the three ghosts of Christmas to teach Ebenezer Scrooge the errors of his miserly ways.
Dickens was an important member of the famous Ghost Club founded in 1862 in London, as was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Professor Gallivan is a member of that same society, which has been dedicated to the study of ghosts, séances, psychical phenomena and things that go bump in the night. Professor Gallivan is a member of the exclusive worldwide Psychic Entertainers Association, has been a performing member of the Magic Castle and has performed many Victorian séances and is the director of a historical cemetery.
The spooky basement chambers of the Pomona Library will be used. The doors will be closed at 3:33 p.m., so visitors should arrive at 3 p.m. for refreshments. This event will not be appropriate for young children.
Seating for this event will be strictly limited. Cost is $15. Proceeds will go to the Pomona Library.
