☠️ Dead Celebs with Secrets – The Séance Table
The séance table awaits guests at the Psychic Halloween Party.
Set the tone for the Psychic Halloween party with a centerpiece straight out of the beyond a spooky séance table decorated with vintage candleholders, black lace, and faux spirit communication tools. But here’s the twist: instead of generic ghosts, you’ll be channeling actual legends psychics, prophets, and fringe celebrities who claimed to speak with the dead (or predict their own future). Set out printed “spirit profiles” of each guest from beyond:
🧠 Amazing Criswell delivers bold (and bizarre) predictions for your guests.
🔮 Edgar Cayce offers past life notes or a “spiritual diagnosis” in a sealed envelope.
🪄 The Amazing Kreskin invites guests to guess the hidden object in a simple mind-reading trick.
👁️ David Hoy and Richard Ireland offer fortune cards with “messages from the other side.”
You can even write a few eerie fake “transcripts” from beyond the grave, with quotes or warnings tied to each figure. Bonus points if one guest volunteers to act as the “medium” and read them aloud in full spooky flair. Set the mood with low lighting and soft ambient sounds this isn’t your grandma’s Ouija night.
🍷 Food & Drinks for Your Psychic Halloween Party
No party feels complete without a table full of eerie treats. Finger-shaped cookies, bubbling punch bowls, and dark-chocolate truffles shaped like tarot symbols will set the tone right away. The more creative the presentation, the more your guests will remember the evening.
Consider building a menu that feels like it came straight from a séance. Drape your serving table with black lace, light a few candles, and label dishes with playful names such as “Crystal Ball Cupcakes” or “Fortune Teller’s Brew.” Drinks can be as simple as colored sodas mixed with dry ice for a smoky effect.
The goal is to feed both body and imagination. When guests take a sip of a glowing cocktail or reach for a mystically named snack, they’re drawn deeper into the theme. Good food and drinks tie everything together, turning your Psychic Halloween Party into an unforgettable night.

They say he never gave his name.
He just walked into the old radio station one rainy October night in 1971. The receptionist was about to lock up when she saw him standing just inside the glass doors bone dry, despite the thunderstorm. He wore a suit that looked like it had stepped out of another era. Crisp. Black. His voice, she said, was calm but cold. “I’ve come to deliver a message,” he told her. “It’s for the midnight host.”
The late-night DJ, a man named Barry, agreed to let him on air mostly for the novelty. Halloween week always brought out the weirdos, but this guy? He was different. He didn’t joke. Didn’t blink. Just sat there in the booth, eyes fixed on the microphone.
For exactly seven minutes, the man spoke no music, no commercials. Just words. He talked about how time folds in on itself, how the past and future are echoes waiting to be heard, and how some people walk through life already dead, they just don’t know it yet. His voice never rose, never cracked. When he was done, he stood, thanked Barry, and walked out into the storm.
Barry never saw him again.
The next day, the station received hundreds of calls listeners claiming to hear names whispered through the static. Some heard their own. Some said they heard a knock at the door during the broadcast, but no one was there. One woman swore she heard her dead husband's voice saying, “I’m not finished yet.”
That broadcast was never recorded.
The tape one of those big studio reels was found blank, except for a faint, low hum near the seven-minute mark. Some say it was just interference. Others believe it was something else. Something… waiting.
But here’s the part that matters tonight.
Before the man left the booth, he leaned into the microphone and said one last thing something Barry didn’t catch until he played back the reel in silence, volume maxed out, ears pressed to the speaker.
A whisper, buried under the hum:
“One of you is marked. By morning… you’ll know.”
🔮 The Fortune That Should Never Have Been Told
They called her Madame Solenne, but no one knew her real name. She never stayed in one town for long. Set up in the back of carnival tents, hotel ballrooms, even gas stations turned “psychic parlors,” she read fortunes for nearly 40 years. Most of them were harmless. A long-lost love. A career change. Travel, if you’re lucky.
But every once in a while, she saw something she didn’t want to speak.
This story comes from a small Halloween festival in New Jersey, 1983. Madame Solenne was reading palms when a teenage girl sat down in front of her. Bright-eyed. Talkative. No fear in her at all. Solenne took her hand, started the reading and froze.
She wouldn’t say what she saw. Just pulled back and whispered, “You must leave.”
The girl laughed, thinking it was part of the act. Solenne stood up, shaking. “I gave no reading. You heard nothing. You must leave now.”
That night, Madame Solenne packed up her tent and disappeared. Gone before sunrise. But the story didn’t end there.
Three months later, the same girl returned not for a reading, but for a funeral. Her cousin, who had taken her place at another reading that night, died in a freak car crash. The time of death? 11:13 p.m. the exact moment Solenne had first taken the girl’s hand.
And then came the postcard.
No return address. No signature. Just a single sentence, scrawled in looping handwriting:
“The line shifted. Yours now ends at midnight.”
