For ten years, Toronto-based medium <a href=\"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/divine-reviews-jaymes-white-stanley-garrison-seance\/\">Jaymes White<\/a> has turned skeptics into believers through his immersive s\u00e9ances held in some of Ontario\u2019s most haunted spaces. What began as a one-off experiment has become a Halloween-season tradition that is part storytelling, part social experiment, and part brush with the unknown.<\/p>\n<p>I have been fortunate enough to be attending Jaymes White s\u00e9ances since 2019. To celebrate ten spook-tacular years, I&#8217;m not just going to share my thoughts on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jaymeswhite.com\/seance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beverley Street S\u00e9ance RESURRECTION<\/a>, you are going to hear from the King of Halloween himself. Here is what Jaymes had to say about celebrating his tenth anniversary:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I started doing seances, I never thought it would turn into this big thing\u2014it just kind of happened. So hitting ten years feels really special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Special it is!

The return to the Beverly Street for his tenth anniversary makes perfect sense. It was the s\u00e9ance that made him go viral. As someone who has been to multiple s\u00e9ances, including the OG Beverley Street, I wondered how he would be able to make this different enough for me to stay captivated, but then, I should have realized who I was dealing with.<\/p>\n<p>The stage was set from the moment that we walked into the darkened George Brown Mansion. Dim lights, obsidian crystals and things that go bump in the night; all the trademarks of his previous s\u00e9ances, but this felt different. Chairs overturned. Things went flying. Darkness transitioned to even darker, then back again. There were haunted objects that made a haunted house even more eerie.<\/p>\n<p>What really made the night even better was the group of people that we had. In order to get the most out of the the Beverley Street S\u00e9ance RESURRECTION, not to <em>beat a dead spirit<\/em>, you have to participate. When everyone is involved, and leaves their skepticism at the door, literal magic happens.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t want to spoil it too much, whether it&#8217;s your 10th time joining Jaymes on this spooktacular journey or your first time but suffice it to say, this was not only Jaymes at his best, it was the best of the six events that I have been to. Let me put it to you this way, I went in to get some quotes and take some photos with Jaymes, and my friend politely declined to go back into the mansion. That is how eerie the Beverley Street S\u00e9ance RESURRECTION is. Here is hoping that we can put a spell on Jaymes so that he comes back for an 11th year.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"stories-that-stay\">Stories That Stay<\/h2>\n<p>For Jaymes\u2019s s\u00e9ance now in its milestone tenth year, I asked him to reflect on the moments that have stayed with him &#8211; the eerie, the emotional, and the inexplicable:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"244\" data-end=\"553\">\u201cIt\u2019s wild to think it\u2019s been ten years,\u201d Jaymes laughs. \u201cWhen I started, I never thought it would grow into something big. In entertainment, ten years is incredible, so I wanted to come full circle, back to Beverley, where it all started for me in Toronto. It felt right to celebrate the anniversary there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"555\" data-end=\"993\">When asked about the eeriest experiences over the years, Jaymes doesn\u2019t hesitate. \u201cThere are hundreds of stories,\u201d he says. \u201cOne that sticks with me is what I call the \u2018scissor story.\u2019 During the pandemic, a woman told a story about a demon cutting her internet cables with scissors. Then later, scissors just appeared under her chair with the same serial code as her pin number. She had to change everything. You can\u2019t explain stuff like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"995\" data-end=\"1381\">Another memory stands out for a completely different reason. \u201cMy very first s\u00e9ance was in Ottawa. A young woman said her dad had just passed away. During the session, a guy she didn\u2019t know started writing on a chalkboard, and it spelled out \u2018Mr. Cuddles.\u2019 She broke down crying because that was the name of the teddy bear her father gave her before he died. That\u2019s the one I\u2019ll never forget.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1383\" data-end=\"1683\">Jaymes has also seen the darker side of the supernatural. \u201cWe once had a clip go viral of a guy being dragged across the floor during a s\u00e9ance,\u201d he says. \u201cI thought he just fell off his chair, but when we watched the footage, it looked like something pulled him. It\u2019s crazy to actually capture that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1685\" data-end=\"1986\">Despite all the strange encounters, Jaymes insists the experience is about connection, not fear. \u201cThe s\u00e9ances are different every time. If the energy is good, the group is respectful, that\u2019s when the really special stuff happens. It\u2019s not about scaring people. It\u2019s about making them feel something.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-legacy\" data-start=\"1685\" data-end=\"1986\">The Legacy<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1988\" data-end=\"2231\">Returning to Beverley Street for the tenth anniversary felt like closing the loop. \u201cEvery year, I try to make it different. Ten years feels complete,\u201d he says. \u201cBut who knows? If the right location or story comes along, maybe we\u2019ll do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"289\" data-end=\"416\">Whether he does or not, one thing is certain, Jaymes White has turned the art of the s\u00e9ance into something uniquely his own.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"418\" data-end=\"821\">Even after a decade, his s\u00e9ances remain one of Toronto\u2019s most talked-about experiences, not just for the chills they deliver, but for the way they blur the line between skepticism and belief. Whether you leave convinced or simply curious, the encounters stay with you long after you\u2019ve stepped back into the light. And maybe that\u2019s the point: the unknown isn\u2019t always meant to be solved, just felt.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"tickets-were-provided-for-review-purposes-opinions-are-my-own\" data-start=\"418\" data-end=\"821\">Tickets were provided for review purposes.
