Who said spooky stuff was only for October? At the famous Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, you can delve into the dark side throughout the year, including during the holiday season. Although COVID-19 guidelines don’t allow for tours inside of the famous mansion, visitors are still welcome to take a creepy tour of the gardens. The Walk With Spirits Garden Tour is a must for paranormal enthusiasts this holiday season, so don’t miss it!
The Winchester Mystery House in San Jose is all dressed up for the holidays, including the outdoor garden. Indoor tours are being put on hold for now, but visitors can still take a spooky stroll through the garden for a magical holiday evening.
Since 1923, the story of Sarah Winchester and her opulent mansion has baffled and bemused. Many consider the house to be one of the most haunted destinations in the Bay Area, and it's easy to see why. If this place doesn't totally give off haunted mansion vibes, we don't know what does!
The interior of the mansion boasts all sorts of mystery, but the outdoor gardens are just as worthy of being explored, especially if you have an itch for the paranormal. This holiday season, visitors are welcome to take on the Walk With Spirits Garden Tour to see the outdoor destination in a whole new light.
The spooky garden tour takes place entirely on a linear outdoor path in compliance with current COVID-19 restrictions. All lit up with dazzling holiday lights, the gardens are definitely a charming sight...but it's not all about appearances.
As visitors roam the expansive grounds, they are encouraged to keep their eyes peeled for anything out of the ordinary. Was that a ghost that just peered out from one of the windows? Or was it simply a trick of the mind?
During the tour, you can also hear tales regarding the mansion's former occupants. It's believed that many of the inhabitants who lived here during life may not have fully left, even in death. Spooky!
The Walk With Spirits Garden Tour is available on Friday and Saturday nights. Tickets cost $14.99 for kids, $20.99 for seniors, and $24.99 for adults. If you're a member, admission is free.
