séance

A séance is a gathering where people try to communicate with spirits or entities from the afterlife, often through a designated medium or group methods. Participants may sit in a dimly lit room, sometimes using tools like Ouija boards, tables, or other devices, to facilitate contact. The purpose is typically to seek messages, insights, or confirmation of spirits' presence. While some view séances as genuine attempts to connect with the unseen, others consider them entertainment or psychological phenomena. Overall, séances are rooted in spiritual or paranormal beliefs about life beyond death.
