Magic and Mystery at The Haunted Cottage

Don Wingo - The Ninjician!

Mystical performer and occultist Don Wingo will be coming to The Haunted Cottage every Saturday in October from 10:00 PM until Midnight to mystify and entertain!

Only you will be able to decide if what he is doing is real magic or merely macabre illusions!

Weekend schedule: 6/10 – 6/11

We have an overnight scheduled for Friday night, so there will be no 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM tours on the 10th.

On Saturday, we will have a rare daytime tour. Yes, I know, we have said we don’t do those anymore, but enough people recently asked about it. So, we’re going to give it a try.

Here is Saturday’s schedule:
