Hayward Area Historical Society (HAHS) is hosting its macabre nighttime tours once again at McConaghy House and Meek Mansion.
One part history, one part storytelling and one part thrills, these tours are not the usual haunted house packed with jump scares and flashing lights. A tour guide will escort brave souls through these reportedly haunted historic homes to hear ghost stories, local urban legends, death and mourning traditions and more.
McConaghy House is a fully furnished, turn-of-the-century farmhouse next to Kennedy Park in Hayward. Meek Mansion is a stately Italianate-style mansion located inside Meek Estate Park in Cherryland. The houses are rarely open at night, so this is an unusual opportunity to experience both houses in near complete darkness.
All members of your party must be 14 years of age or older, guests under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Tickets must be purchased in advance. Proceeds benefit the properties.
