Flashlight tours

Self-guided night walks through the Winchester Mystery House with only a flashlight, held on select nights since the 1980s.

The house gave its first flashlight tours in the 1980s. Today they run on select nights, often including a Friday the 13th and a spring “Halfway to Halloween” season. Guests roam at their own pace, including rooms that are off-limits on the daytime Mansion Tour; children under five are not allowed, and neither are Ouija boards.
