On this spooky twin night, we decided to enjoy a new event at the Historic Irvington Halloween Festival!
Ashley stopped in to Pogue's Run Grocer to pick up a picnic to start our evening!
We then met at Ellenberger Park for an al fresco dinner!
The Pogue's Run deli did not disappoint! We will definitely visit again!
Their deli was so affordable and featured world class ingredients!
Our gourmet sandwiches and themed Prophecy wine paired beautifully with the humbling beauty of the outstretched trees.
Once we finished our delicious dinner, we left the company of the changing leaves for the Bona Thompson Memorial Center!
The autumn skies painted an eerie backdrop for the stately building and its ghostly evening!
We attended the "seance" first, where three mediums made contact with spirits connected to audience members.
While this event was billed by a reputable Irvington magic shop as a seance, it was less of a traditional seance and more of a group reading.
Almost everyone in the room received a minute of the mediums' time to hear a message.
Some were meaningful, some were not, but it was an hour and a half of entertainment.
We really felt that based on the poster and sticker price, this should have been more intimate and traditional, but this being the first year for the event, it may evolve in time.
After the group reading, one-on-one readings were available with many different types of psychics, mediums, numerologists, and tarot card readers.
We each sat for a private reading and felt it was much more productive than the group reading.
Ashley met with a tarot card reader who kept pulling sword cards.
Emily met with a numerologist who said she comes across aloof to strangers when her true priority is family.
We had a great time exploring the Bona Thompson building, breathing in the crisp fall air, and trying to connect through October's thinning veil between this side and the beyond.
Spooktacular twin night!
