#WINCHESTER MYSTERY HOUSE HAUNTINGS WINDOWS#

Though Sarah did have close friends and their families over, she was a notoriously private woman (only two photographs of her exist), so curiosity about her estate quickly spread throughout the neighborhood.

The original farmhouse was soon engulfed by a sprawling mansion with a maze of rooms and hallways, doors and windows opening up to walls, dead end corridors, stairways to nowhere, and doors into elevator shafts. Winchester soon commenced continuous construction and expansion over the next 38 years, financed by her tremendous wealth and daily income of $1000, and spurred by the belief that her family was haunted by the ghosts of those killed by Winchester rifles. Owned by Sarah Winchester, wife of the heir of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company and fortune, the Winchester Mystery House began as an eight room farmhouse purchased from a previous owner. Located in San Jose California, this sprawling estate is as close as you'll get to a real life haunted house the way theme parks present them.
