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).
