Hotels-London.co.uk - Harrowing Halloween at the Old Operating Theatre Museum

Oct. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- From October 24th-30th, the Old Operating Theatre Museum near London Bridge will host Harrowing Halloween, a fascinating and often bloodthirsty look at the murkier corners of London history.

Highlights include Rending the Veil, an adult-only event in which The London Magician will conduct a séance using the cunning techniques employed by deceitful Victorian psychics, providing an intriguing window into what Victorian London was prepared to believe.

Other events include a display of authentic Victorian surgery (with not an anaesthetic in sight), and an informative look at the Great Plague, from the causes to the various strange cures suggested at the time.

There will also be a study of the mysterious mandrake plant, a look at how herbs were used in Victorian witchcraft, and the tale of the Bodysnatchers who roamed London's cemeteries in times gone by.
