Spooky immersive experiences

Haunted history you walk through instead of read about. Séances, ghost tours, interactive mysteries and candlelit evenings built from the real stories of the building you are standing in.

Experiences, not attractions

There are no rubber bats in a Paranormalist experience. Vince builds evenings from documented history and old-fashioned theatre: a room, a story, a small number of things that should not be possible, and guests who are part of it rather than watching from behind a rope. I found long ago that the scariest thing in any old building is the true story, told well, with the lights a little too low.

Ghost tours

Guided, story-driven tours of haunted buildings, including the Lord Baltimore Hotel Ghost Tours through Poe’s Magic Theatre in downtown Baltimore.

Haunted-history evenings

Researched for your venue: its builders, its scandals, its unexplained guests, presented as an evening of stories, demonstrations and a séance to finish.

Interactive mysteries

Period murder mysteries and puzzle evenings where guests question suspects, find clues and argue over the solution. Good for hotels, galas and corporate teams.

Halloween and October events

October books early. Séances, Houdini séances on Halloween night, ghost tours and spooky entertainment for private and public events across the Mid-Atlantic.

There is a small one on this very website. The Stopped Clocks: six pocket watches under glass, each stopped at the minute its owner died. Choose one with your eyes alone and watch it go.

Or sit down at The Talking Board, in honor of Elijah Bond, the Baltimore lawyer who patented it in 1890. Ask kindly, keep a fingertip on the planchette, and always say good bye.

Questions people ask

What kinds of spooky immersive experiences does Vince Wilson create?

Séances, haunted-history evenings, ghost tours, interactive murder mysteries, and immersive storytelling events where guests become part of the story. They are built for hotels, theatres, historic sites, private parties, corporate events and Halloween.

Are the experiences family friendly?

Most are made for adults who enjoy a good scare without gore. Vince prefers atmosphere and suggestion over shock, and can adjust any experience for younger or more sensitive audiences.

Where in the Mid-Atlantic can I find a spooky immersive experience?

Vince stages experiences in Baltimore, including ghost tours of the Lord Baltimore Hotel and shows at Poe’s Magic Theatre, and brings custom experiences to venues across Maryland, Washington DC, Delaware, Virginia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Can Vince design a custom haunted experience for our venue?

Yes. He researches the history of the building and its neighborhood and builds an experience from what really happened there, which is usually stranger than anything he could invent.
