Haunting season at PEI heritage sites
The PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation invites Islanders to take part in a series of seasonal events at Beaconsfield Historic House and Orwell Corner Historic Village.
The two sites will host the following events throughout October:
- Beaconsfield by Candlelight
- Experience Beaconsfield as the sun goes down and the shadows grow long. Hear local ghost stories, meet the house’s most haunted artifact, Wheelie, and enjoy haunting ballads in the double drawing room.

- Beaconsfield Victorian-Era Séance
- Back for its final season, this immersive theatrical experience recreates a Victorian séance. Guests will also join a talk-back session to uncover the secrets behind the illusions and explore why spiritualism was so popular in the 19th century.
