Do the spirits speak? Find out for yourself during the Halloween week at The Vortex, 2307 Manor Road. A. Lucio and Jake Cordero of The Austin Séance lead a series of mysterious and fascinating sessions Oct. 28-31 in the Pony Shed. Each includes a brief exploration of American spiritualist history, a contemplative guided meditation and, of course, a séance. Described as “devilishly charming” by Austin Monthly, The Austin Séance has been featured in Texas Monthly, NPR’s Texas Standard radio program, KUTX and KOOP.
