Take Mom to Mother’s Day Brunch at the Most Haunted House in America
Back when I was just a grub, one of my first big assignments for Dread Central was a dream job: Assemble a crew of paranormal investigators and attempt to contact spirits in the most haunted mansion in America: The Winchester Mystery House. And did I mention our activities took place after hours, in the dead of night, in areas of the mansion that aren’t accessible to the public? Yeah, it was awesome. Check out some footage below.
Those in the proximity of San Jose will have the opportunity to get at least a taste of what my team and I experience when The Winchester Mystery House opens its doors for a spooky, Mother’s Day brunch on May 12th beginning at 11 am. Tickets are on sale now!
Here’s the full scoop from today’s press release:
“The Winchester Mystery House announced today that its annual Mother’s Day Brunch will return on Sunday, May 12th at 11 am.
