Enjoyable

I took my 10-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son through here on a Saturday night. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed it. It was not spooky or scary though our tour guide would shout unexpectedly at times to get people to jump. He was very personable and seemed well informed. We enjoyed the history around the house and all of the furniture in the house was authentic to the time period, but not original to the house. A few pictures of the Whaley family were hanging up though. When I took 2 pictures of the theater area my "face finder" on my digital camera appeared and focused on 2 different areas, 1 above a chair and the other about standing height, which I found a little spooky, but otherwise we did not see anything to indicate ghosts. Nothing showed up on my pictures either, but this is now a story I can tell people, which is about the spookiest thing to ever happen to me! Overall, a nice tour. If you have younger kids though you can go during the day when the tours are self-guided so you don't have to worry about your young ones getting antsy. My 3-year-old did fine for the tour but my husband didn't take the tour because he stayed with our 1-year-old knowing it would be impossible to keep him quiet for the whole tour (which lasted about 30 minutes or so).
