It starts with the sounds. Creaking floors and slamming doors, fading footsteps down empty halls, whispered words in the wind. Sensations and shadows follow. A feeling of being watched or perhaps a ghostly tap on the shoulder. Take your chances on this special 90-minute guided tour of the most haunted parts of the estate, including areas not usually open to the public. Advance reservations highly recommended. Tours frequently sell out in advance. Adults $20, Students 12-18 years $10. Due to the mature content, this tour is not recommended for children under 12 years of age.
