Winchester House
Abstract
The Winchester house is full of twist and turns. Mrs. Winchester built things upside down, doors leading to no where, and staircases also. Mrs.Wichester had a great life going for her, good at music and everybody loved her. Once she got married, it seemed everything went downhill. Her only child dies as a infant and couple of years later her husband. Now she is left with tons of money and owning half of the stock market, she goes and meet with a medium. The medium tells her that her husband and child died because of a gun that they made called The Winchester gun. This gun killed many people during the war. The only way to save herself from dying was to build a house for the ghost and her, the only catch was that the building could never stop or she would die. With the money that Mrs.Winchester has gained, she builds a crazy house all due to the ghost. Many believes that the only reason why the house is built crazy was confuse the ghost and that they couldn 't find her as easy. She made this happen was by changing things every day, adding a new staircase or building a room inside another room.
Every house has its own story to tell; when it was built, who lived in it, or any tragedy. Imagine building a house without at blue print and it kept on changing and getting bigger everyday. That 's what Sarah Winchester did until her death in 1922. Her home had grown to 160 rooms, 40 bedrooms,47 (Marck, n.d.) fireplaces, 17 chimneys, 950 doors, staircases that go nowhere, and cabinets that are the sole entry to entire wings. We might have some movies that is similar to the Winchester 's house like “The Haunting” and “Rose Red”
