Spiritualism, an 1887 Mansion, and Mystery — All by Lantern Light Step back into the Victorian era and experience the Villa Montezuma Museum as its original owner, pianist and spiritualist Jesse Shepard, intended—by the soft glow of lantern light. This special nighttime tour offers a rare opportunity to explore one of San Diego’s most stunning historic homes in an intimate setting. With its richly carved woodwork, vibrant stained glass, and evocative ambiance, the Villa is more than just a preserved mansion—it is a reflection of a moment in time when art, belief, and mystery intertwined. Led by historian Charles Spratley, the tour delves into: - The life and legacy of Jesse Shepard - The cultural and philosophical roots of Spiritualism - The role of music, mysticism, and interior design in Shepard’s world - A historically accurate discussion of séances, mediumship, and metaphysical exploration This is not a ghost tour. The Villa Montezuma is considered by many to be “enchanted” rather than haunted, and this experience reflects that distinction. It is a reverent look at the past—not sensational, but deeply atmospheric and enlightening. Visit: The Villa Montezuma Spiritualism Lantern Tour Villa Montezuma Museum on Facebook
