The Winchester Mystery House
The Winchester Mystery House is in San Jose, California. It is a historic landmark and an architectural wonder with 24,000 sq. ft. and 160 rooms. It was the home of Sarah Winchester, heir to the Winchester Rifle fortune.
Sarah Winchester’s only child died at five and a half weeks. Her husband died of tuberculosis. After his death, she moved into an eight room farmhouse outside of San Jose and kept adding onto the house.
The house is said to be a hotbed of paranormal activity. One of the rooms in the house is called the Seance Room. Some people believe that the many seances attracted spirits to the house and some never left. There are those who believe the house is a portal to the “other side.”
Harry Houdini toured the house and, after the tour, he called it a “mystery house” and the name stuck.
Centuries ago, San Jose was inhabited by the Ohlone tribe. They believe the souls of the dead could linger on earth long after their death. They may be right.
