Haunted Houses to Visit Around the Bay Area in California This Halloween

Halloween just isn't the same without a good old haunted house to scare the pants off you right? I've made a list of some fun attractions around the Bay Area to get you in the mood this Halloween season. They're sure to be frightening!

The Santa Clara County Fair Ground's Callson Manor Haunted House

Location: 344 Tully Road, San Jose
Date: October 25-31
Time: 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Price: $7.00 to $25.00

There's two attractions at the Callson Manor that takes place at The Santa Clara County Fair Ground. The first is Callson's Funeral Home where visitors get to see where they prepared the bodies, the workshop where caskets were made and the place where autopsies were done on the dead. You won't see a lot of carnage here so children should be okay. The second attraction at Callson's Manor is the 7 Deadly Sins. Attendees get to view people who made the unfortunate mistake of carrying out one of the deadly sins. Now this definitely is not for kids and anyone who gets spooked easily should probably pass on this attraction. To find out more information, please go the website below.

Conover Mystery Ranch

Now this doesn't exactly take place in a house but I'm sure it is still haunted none the less. The story of Abraham Conover who once owned the ranch has a morbid past. Bodies were found on the ranch which included his children and young wife! Take a tour of his ranch and the surrounding cornfields if you dare! Purchase tickets below.
