The Winchester Mystery House in San Jose California attracts visitors from all around the world.\xa0But the 24,000 square foot mansion was not always open to visitors... in fact, very few people ever saw the inside of the home while Sarah Winchester was alive.\xa0As the house grew and grew, so did the curiosity of locals and the press.\xa0Why was the widow and heiress of the Winchester Rifle Company fortune endlessly adding on to the sprawling mansion... and why was the layout so peculiar?\xa0Doorways that lead to deathly drops, staircases that lead nowhere... were these logic defying and bizarre features meant to confuse the ghosts that followed Sarah to her new home?\xa0Or is there another explanation?\xa0Join us as we dive into the history and hauntings of the Winchester Mystery House.\n\nSpecial Guest: Christopher Feinstein of Haunted American History\nhttps://open.spotify.com/show/1qGceWMBEgoA7NbIdxmcVz?si=c36ad0706cae4d35\n\nTickets NOW ON SALE for our LIVE event at Barrel House Z in Weymouth, MA on 10/18/24\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/hometown-ghost-stories-podcast-live-tickets-923112051997\n\nBecome a supporter on Patreon!\nhttps://www.patreon.com/hometownghoststories\n\nMusic by Jesse Wilkins\nhttps://open.spotify.com/album/5yacgac20GQsymq2nsVmPr?si=5skhjOFyQMqGvE58rAre-Q\nLearn more about your ad choices.
