Absolutely! Whether you're a seasoned investigator, curious newcomer or simply fascinated by the unexplained, The Midnight Assembly welcomes everyone but is limited to ages 18+

The Midnight Assembly is designed for anyone with an interest in the unexplained, regardless of their experience or beliefs.
