Believed to have been constructed when Sarah Winchester was suffering from arthritis, the low rising stairs snake back and forth to bring you to the second floor. You begin your tour by climbing the switchback stairs. Instead of walking through constructed sets, you’re walking through the actual historic haunt. Whereas these follow the same formula you’d find in bigger haunt events like Knott’s Scary Farm or Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights, were guests are pushed through (mostly) elaborately decorated mazes like cattle, Winchester’s tour more closely resembles Merlin’s Dungeon attractions, such as the one on San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf, where you’re guided through a series of scenarios and sets in small groups by a series of historical characters. There are, of course, Halloween events to be found throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, most notably, Halloween Haunt at California’s Great America and Fright Fest at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.

Unlike the daytime tours, which provide an in-depth history of the property, the nighttime tours blend fact and fiction in a way that sometimes makes it impossible to tell one from the other. For the third year in a row, Winchester is offering candlelight tours for Halloween.
