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.
