Mentalist Jaymes White leads a Victorian-era seance GlobeArts

Canadian mentalist James Whyte is hosting the Beverley Street Séance, in which he 'summons' the spirit of George Brown, a Father of Confederation and founder of the Toronto Globe, a predecessor to The Globe and Mail.Did the ghost of George Brown appear on Friday the 13th? If so, it would be news to him.

In the session I attended at the Victorian three-storey house, a group of 18 people enthusiastically took part in the experience. They were all adults, as the presentation is deemed too frightening for children. One of the group reported goose bumps. A middle-aged man felt queasy. “I’m smelling a sickly, sweet smell,” a woman declared. A big guy in a Steely Dan T-shirt seemed skeptical about the whole darn thing.

After the experience, White, who claims no psychic powers or paranormal gifts, sat down for an interview. “People don’t want to believe that this is all there is,” he said, when asked why people believe in ghosts. “If you believe there’s nothing else, it can be a bleak world.”
