Exploring Victorian Photography in a historic 19th-century mansion, with spirit photography, a live demonstration, and spooky photo-making

Experience the haunting world of spirit photography at Exposing Ghosts - Exploring Victorian Photography, presented by FLASH photographic festival and Dalnavert Museum.

Discover the fascinating history behind the Victorian era’s most haunting images, from staged apparitions to supernatural portraits. Enjoy an engaging presentation, witness a live demonstration, and try creating your own spooky photographs inside the atmospheric Victorian mansion.

Housed in a beautifully preserved 1895 Victorian mansion, Dalnavert Museum offers a rare opportunity to experience history from the inside. Its period architecture, historic interiors, and collection of late-Victorian and early-Edwardian objects provide an evocative setting for exploring how people of the past understood photography, memory, and the supernatural.
