Winchester Mansion
The Winchester Mansion, in San Jose, California, was built by Sara Winchester, the widow of William Winchester. Sara visited a psychic who told her that she must build a house large enough to house the souls of all those who'd been killed by Winchester guns, and Sara spent the remaining 36 years of her life (until she died in 1922) doing just that. The mansion's construction is just as odd as Sara's personality. There are stairways and doors that go nowhere, secret rooms and passages, and elevators that only go up one floor. Some believe that Sara had the house built in a confusing way so that the sprits wouldn't be able to find her and seek revenge. The number 13 is prevalent throughout: 13 bathrooms, stairways with 13 steps, and so on. There is a rumor that Sara would never give her workmen the day off, because she was afraid that the day she stopped building she would die. One day, however, after many complaints, she finally gave her staff a day off, and that is the day she died.

How did I miss this great post about San Jose's Winchester House? When I was 13 my grandmother asked me to go to see it. Like an uninterested kid I did not go. I wished I had gone for years since then.

I pulled this one from the dark page #2. So many threads & so many guests and members without a dust mop. LOL

The above story is very strange that she predicted her death time and it came to pass just like she had thought. She did not run out of funds for workers. Maybe they actualy finished with the room they had to work in. Another 1/4 acre with the blueprints to go with it would have kept her going.

Man O man! The last two sentences was paranormal news to read. Our History Channel from the States failed to tell that in their narration.
