SAN JOSE, Calif. – One of the most famous mansions in the Bay Area is upping the ante this Halloween season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Winchester Mystery House is adding a new experience: Festival Fright Nights.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the tour, there is a spooky surprise around every corner. It kept Deborah Goesling on her toes. \u00a0<\/p>\n
“It’s been here forever. It’s gorgeous. Honestly, I have never been here before. Tonight was a fabulous night to come,” said Goesling.<\/p>\n
When you walk into the Winchester Mystery House, you go back in time. It’s Halloween night in 1924, two years after Sarah Winchester died. There is a hologram of her on the tour. \u00a0When Winchester first moved in, it was a small farm house. But then she kept building and building to 160 rooms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“You know what, a lady going crazy and building a big fabulous house just for herself. She is kind of real for that. I would do the same,” said Sonora Ilse.<\/p>\n
The event features three new attractions. A Masquerade Ball with light-up cocktails. Then a walk through the mansion’s green house. Then finally the final descent. You get to check out a forbidden wing of the mansion where, according to rumors, Winchester haunts.<\/p>\n
“I keep hearing people talking about the mysterious Winchester Mystery House. I hear its haunted. That is the building I drive by where I go to the mall,” said Ilse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“It was a spooky adventure,” said Goesling.<\/p>\n
Goesling, who has lived in San Jose her entire life, says she will be back.<\/p>\n
“My girlfriend took me here as a wedding present. It was a lovely evening and spectacular,” she said.<\/p>\n
Tickets start at $55. It runs until November 1st.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Happy Halloween!<\/p>\n
