Hi Crafth and everyone!

Here's the official website link for this famed US historical attraction in San Jose, California, a city in California's San Francisco Bay Area.

I've been there and taken the tour about five times and yep, aside from being historically and structurally weird, Sarah Winchester's house is said to be haunted. Sarah herself had a seance room in the mansion and spoke with spirits on a nightly basis. As I recall, many of the servants there said the place was haunted even in Sarah's day. Today's tour guides always tell ghost stories about the place and ghosthunters have gone there many times, according to the pop TV shows I have seen.

The "Winchester Mystery House " is a real trip and I recommend the tour to one and all.

Been there many times. got one picture I took there and caught a ghost on film. If you can get tickets, the best time to go is on holloween when they have their annual guided evening tours. The place is uber-spooky at night and in the dark. It's a flashlight guided tour.

And since Mary forgot the link...

If you guys would like, Maybe I will drive down and take photos of it for you. i've always wanted to tour inside it. its on a busy street now. I've only been by it a few times (just cruising about and came across it). It used to be a farm with nothing around it until about 40 years ago, then they built much of south san jose around it.

I had a relative that live near there when I was younger, but we never got to go there. the one time I was by it, I saw someone walking past one of the windows. I hear alot of people say this, but I think they have care-takers in the place. maybe it was one of them. it was kind of creepy though.

I'de take my family but My oldest daughter would have nightmares about it. So I think i'll do it alone and see if I can bring my video camera inside. there are stairs going nowhere. That just end at the second or third floor. doors that dont open. I guess the daughter needed to be medicated. But they didnt have anything back in the late 1880s for her to take. so, she blew most of her money building this victorian house. It sure is pretty though.

that photo is from their webpage I think. Or I googled it. Yeah, When you drive around it, it looks small. the lot looks small. But its just the way its built. I would have loved to have visited it back in the early 1900s before anyone lived near it.

Yes, Trog, some of the old photos of the house, back in the day, show this amazing structure, off by itself. Would have been something to see it, back then.

Now I want to go see it again. smile.gif
