HOUSE HAUNTER: The Winchester Mystery House turns out the lights for a flashlights-only tour.

The Winchester Mystery House is weird enough with the lights on. Imagine taking the grand tour of the Bay Area’s most bizarre house in the dark—like the gang from Scooby-Doo, hunting for ghosts. This Friday—the 13th, natch—the Mystery House opens up for the adventurous to explore the house by flashlight (The $49 admission price comes with a souvenir torch). The event is held to honor the house’s eccentric matron, Sarah Winchester, who was apparently a bit obsessed with the number 13. One lucky guest will get the chance to ring the house’s bell at 1pm (the 13th hour of the day).
