The McHenry Mansion is an historic home in the city of Modesto, known for its beauty and grandeur--and the ghosts that are rumored to haunt the expansive property.
The mansion has been restored to its original glory after years of neglect and disrepair, but none of the alterations have done much to quell local legends about hauntings and strange occurrences at the site.
Perhaps its most notable claim to fame, however, is the very true story of the source of its restoration. Ernest and Julio Gallo, the winemaking brothers, saved the home from demolition in the mid-seventies and established it as an historically valuable property worth restoring, and it has been treated as such ever since.
