Enter if you dare! Take your older kids and cautiously walk through Ghastley Manor to investigate the strange disappearances and creepy late night happenings. You will learn what happened to a team of "ghost hunters" that came to investigate the house and went missing, only leaving small clues as to what they found. More importantly, you will come face to face with a strange being only identified as "The Collector". He has been seen carrying bodies around the old manor late at night! Boo! This nighttime attraction takes about 10 minutes to walk through. It is not recommended for persons under the age of thirteen because of scary situations. It is also not advised for pregnant women or those who suffer from heart, back or neck problems, claustrophobia, fear of the dark or those who are sensitive to strobe lights, fog machines, and sudden and loud noises. Monster Manor is located one block west of Camino Ruiz in the Target Shopping Center in Mira Mesa. Click here for maps and directions. Monster Manor is an annual fundraiser for the Mira Mesa Theatre Guild. This all-volunteer, non-profit Halloween attraction is managed and run by professionals in the Motion Picture, Television, Theatre, and Audio Visual fields. Monster Manor brings some of the best "scares" around. Starting as a home haunt, Mira Mesa icon, Tim Allen, along with fellow haunter John Hart, decided to bring their love of Halloween to the public in 2001. From its beginning as a small community haunted attraction, each year Monster Manor has grown more and more. It was the only haunted attraction in San Diego to be recognized by the San Diego Union-Tribune/SignOnSanDiego.com's 2009 "Best of San Diego" reader's poll, beating out some the more commercial attractions in town. More than half of the Manor's 200 volunteers are made up of teens from the local high school, who earn Community Service hours for their help in building and acting at the haunt. All "profits" from the haunt go to various charities and non profit organizations, including the Boy Scouts, local schools and more. The funds needed to produce the attractions come from many generous local and national sponsors. |
