…or his house, that is. The Governor’s Mansion has a spooky tour for you this weekend. As you may know, the mansion hasn’t been inhabited by any governors since Jerry Brown decided to live in a bachelor’s pad across from the capitol building….but the fright goes on. For relatively cheap, you too can be regaled by ghost stories and scary decor at the mansion. The docents will be in costume as well–hopefully no one will look like Freddy or Jason or the weirdo from the Scream. I don’t think I could take it–forget about the kids, they’d probably handle it better than me! You may not know that former president Ronald Reagan was the last governor to live in the Victorian mansion–and he’s since deceased so maybe you’ll see his ghost wandering the halls…
