The original question was
It seems that mrypg9 is the only one so far who actually has experience of a seance in Spain.

I hasten to add that my experience didn't extend to actually attending the event.
We -ADANA - organised it to make money. The medium took his cut agreed in advance and we took the extra which was just under 80 euros - I think we charged 15 euros.
I was totally against us being associated with this kind of thing as I feared it would further strengthen the view that we are a group of old biddies, make us a laughing stock and generally create an image of frivolity. But one of our Board members is a keen believer in all things 'spiritual' and insisted the event went ahead.
I was told by someone who went that the event was a shockingly cynical exploitation of lonely and bereaved people. It seemed to have gone along the lines that Yossa parodied. Interesting, the medium had a friend with him who sat with the audience, congregation or whatever the correct term is, chatting to them before the show started. Only then was it apparent that the medium and friend were connected. Whether the point of this 'chat' was to elicit information to be used in the seance I couldn't say. One woman was reduced to hysterical sobbing when her dead husband 'spoke' to her.
What was interesting was that the departed seemed to have nothing of interest to pass on: the conversations were, apparently, banal in the extreme .But then it's never Napoleon or Tolstoy, just Auntie Flo and Cousin Bert, who 'communicate' with us. If people like Tolstoy, George Orwell, George Eliot would promise to talk to me I might change my views. But interesting people don't seem keen on posthumous conversations, sadly.
One thing I'm glad of is that I have had no communication from my late mother. Were she able to communicate with me from Beyond, I already have a good idea of what she would say.
So....the ADANA experience was that it didn't make much money, the second visit was a total washout and a lot of people made silly jokes about us.
We shan't be doing it again.
