The already creepy Winchester Mystery House hosts a wealth of spooky events this month.
A gourmet Halloween-themed dinner in the estate’s ballroom, Sarah’s Spirited Supper, includes a four-course meal and wine pairings, Oct. 19. The intimate dining experience is limited to 40 attendees and tickets are $259 each.
Select evenings through Nov. 2, the property takes visitors on a “suspenseful walk-through experience.” Guests have a chance to see some of the home’s private rooms not on display during public tours. The experience is not recommended for children under 13 and tickets start at $44 each.
Children are invited to participate in the free Trick-or-Treat Trail, Oct. 26–27, 12–4 p.m. Families walk through the gardens and receive candy, treats and possibly some tricks. Afterward, children enjoy bouncy houses, games and other activities.
“Winchester Mystery House will be the prime location to enjoy thrills, chills and spooky fun this Halloween season,” says Walter Magnuson, general manager, Winchester Mystery House. “Whether guests are seeking a fun family outing or an immersive dining or horror experience, there will be engaging events for all ages.”
Located in San Jose, California, the Winchester Mystery House was originally owned by Sarah Pardee Winchester, heiress to the Winchester Repeating Arms fortune. The architectural wonder is one of the country’s most well-known haunted mansions and is a California Historic State Landmark. Tours of the house have been available since 1923.

It was known as the “Kai Tak heart attack” — the thrilling, terrifying final approach into Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport. Airliners were required to bank sharply at the last moment, dodging hills and apartment blocks to line up with a runway jutting out into Kowloon Bay. The airport is long gone, but international visitors are arriving at Kai Tak again, albeit more sedately. Their cruise ships dock smoothly at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, a modern gateway designed by Sir Norman Foster.
