Stanford Mansion Halloween Ball Mystery Tour

“The harmless phantoms on their errands glide.” Longfellow could have been writing about the Leland Stanford Mansion in late October. Beginning Friday, Oct 24, the historic residence invites you to a free, guided, 30-minute Halloween tour that plays with light, shadow, and the mansion’s rich past. Start times run by day part, with daytime, afternoon, and evening slots on select dates. Oct 27–29 are daytime only.

Expect a quiet build of atmosphere as you move from doorway to stair and along hushed corridors. Guides share stories that belong to the house while keeping the tone family friendly. Some young visitors may find it a bit spooky, so plan your time of day accordingly. Costumes are encouraged and add to the mood in the entry and along the passages.
