What does seance mean in English?

A séance (pronounced SAY-ahnce) is a gathering of people who attempt to communicate with the spirits of the dead, usually with the help of a medium.

Here are some ways it is used:

* "They held a séance in the old house hoping to contact their deceased grandmother."

* "The medium led the séance with candles and chanting."

* "Séances are often associated with spiritualism and the occult."

It's important to note that séances are often considered to be a form of pseudoscience and there is no scientific evidence to support the existence of communication with the dead.
