Winchester Mystery House
The Winchester Mystery House is a mansion in San Jose, California which was once the personal residence of Sarah
Winchester, the widow of gun magnate William Wirt Winchester. The property and mansion have been claimed
to be haunted—including by Winchester herself—since construction commenced in 1884.
The Boston Medium told Winchester, supposedly by way of her late husband, that she had to leave her home in
New Haven and travel West, where she must continuously build a home for herself and the spirits of people who had
fallen victim to Winchester rifles
Mrs. Sarah L. Winchester’s response to the deaths of her
child and husband left a bizarre and impressive architectural
reflection of her psycheShe passed away in her
sleep from heart failure on September 5, 1922
At the time of her death, the unrelenting construction had rambled over six acres. The
Sprawling mansion contained 160 rooms, 2,000 doors, 10,000
windows, 47 stairways, 47 fireplaces, 13 bathrooms, and 6 kitchens. Carpenters even left
nails half driven when they learned of Mrs. Winchester’s
death

"She believed her only chance of a normal life was to build a house, and keep building it. If the house was never
finished, no ghost could settle into it. The house contains many features
that were utilized to trap or confuse spirits. There are doors that
are small or lead nowhere and windows
that look into other parts of the house. The mansion may be huge but there are only two mirrors in the whole
place. This is because Sarah believed that
ghosts were afraid of their own reflection.”
Second Opinion:
The MYSTERY of the Winchester House is now finally SOLVED
and it has nothing to do with Haunting
Spirits or Seances.
The Winchester House is an intricate
Puzzle of coded messages
implemented to guide the
Adventurer on a Treasure Trail of
discovery.
