Mystery of the haunted Winchester house

This work was once home to Sarah Winchester, the widow of the Winchester weapons company. For more than a century, many strange architectural rumors of the villa have been spread, but the story of San Jose's most mysterious house is still a puzzle.

Sarah Lockwood Pardee Winchester was born in 1837 in New Haven, Connecticut. In 1862, she married WilliamWirt Winchester, the giant heir to the Winchester weapons company. The company used to produce the Henry Rifle rifle, a weapon used by the northern army during the Civil War.

Sarah gave birth to a baby girl in 1866, but the baby died only a few weeks later and made her fall into a state of collapse. In 1881, another incident occurred when William contracted tuberculosis and died, leaving his wife more than $ 20 million and an income of about $ 1,000 per day (equivalent to $ 30,000 at current exchange rates). from weapons company.

After the death of her husband, Sarah moved to the Santa Clara Valley in California state and bought a small farm. She started to build and expand the farm, turning it into a mysterious mansion that we know today.

Sarah directs a group of construction workers, not consulting the architect and adding structures arbitrarily. Over time, the farm was expanded into a large villa area with 150 rooms, 2 ballrooms, 47 fireplaces, 17 chimneys, 2 cellars, 3 elevators and more than 10,000 glass windows.

The huge size of this work is not the most remarkable thing, but unprecedented and mysterious points. The villa has pillars built upside down, doors open empty walls, stairs hit the ceiling, fully equipped rooms are separated. She also requires the use of spider webs and the presence of 13 everywhere in the house like doors and windows must have 13 boxes, 13 steps staircase and even drainage holes in the sink have 13 hole.

After Sarah Winchester died in 1922, many stories were circulated around the cause of the constantly built house and the strange structures that its owner thought of.

Some characteristics of villas can be explained, such as stairs 44 steps above 2 meters high because each level is 5cm high. The possible cause of arthritis makes it difficult for her to step up to higher levels. However, the other details in the house do not have a proper explanation and most rumors suggest that they relate to Sarah's belief in the devil.

One hypothesis is that the mansion was built bizarre after Sarah consulted a grandmother in Boston. This person may have advised her to build a large house to contain the souls of the Winchester company's dead weapons and she must continue to build if not to be harassed by spirits. According to legend, Sarah believes that she can distract the ghosts by creating strange structures in the house and escaping from the haunted state.

According to The Epoch Times, the more plausible explanation for these things is that Sarah had to undergo psychological trauma after the death of her husband and daughter . In fact, all those doubts have no answers, because after her death, Sarah did not leave any diary or information. This woman has never been interviewed about a project to build a mysterious building.
