A house built by ghosts?! An architectural marvel?! 27,000 square feet?! We had to go see it! The 600 room mansion was very interesting. Windows to nowhere. Doors that open to concrete 2 stories below (as pictured). The short?: Ms. Winchester Widow was a very odd, brilliant, and probably demon-possessed woman who stood at 4'-10". From the east coast, she was told by a medium that she would need to move out west and build every day for the rest of her days to ease the dead spirits of the ones that were killed by the Winchester rifle. At midnight every night she would go to the "blue" room that had one way in and 3 ways out where she "counseled" with "friendly spirits" to decide what to build next to her freaky maze. She was obsessed with the number 13 and it shows up everywhere throughout the estate. Construction ceased when she deceased in 1922 after 38 years of non-stop contruction to her prison. Too bad we were not allowed to take any pictures on the inside of the mansion so that's why the pictures on this blog are all exterior. The landscaping was eccentrically perfect as shown.
