The guy that started Winchester firearms. Thats his house, I don't remember his name, but if I remember correctly, the wife was haunted by spirits of the people that were killed by winchester guns. She had to keep adding on to the house to keep the spirits happy? Lots of strange places in the house, like the pic of the stairs that go no where.

I took the tour about 20 years ago. Lots of wierd hallways and rooms with hidden doors and passageways.
|
|
I've seen a few shows on it. Wierd place! You should skip out on whatever you are doing and go.

I went through there several years ago. Definitely worth the tour, very well done craftsmanship and good background BS. The Winchester (?) microbrewery in town used to be worth several visits too...
She was the Winchester widow with tons of money. She was scared of all the ghosts of Winchester firearm victims, and believed that ghosts would only inhabit a completed house. She had workers going all day and night for many years to trick the superstitous ghosts. She also wanted to trick the dumber ghosts with stairs going into nowhere, doors opening to the outdoors from upstairs, many things in quantities of 13 and 7(?), etc. |

I went there a few years back, I thought it was interesting. They had a small collection of guns off to the side on the grounds. I would recommend it if you can make it.

The Holloween tours by flashlight are the best. Been there a dozen times, very cool place.
Sarah had problems lifting here feet up very high and they have staircases in there with steps that are only 2 inches high. Anyone know what sound a maglight makes when you hit a ghost? |
|
Went there instead of having a graduation party.
Weird place. Very cool, but overpriced of course. I want to try the Halloween tour some year. |
|
"swooosh" |

On that note, and about thirty miles south of there, what's the deal with the Santa Cruz Mystery Spot? I know what it is, has anyone been there? Fraud, or worth the admission fee to make you scratch your head?
NTM |

Whatever sound it makes must be banned. We wouldn't want to hurt anyones feelings. As for the house, I took the tour several years agao. Very interesting and our guide was retiring that day. He had been doing the tours for many years and knew a lot about the house. |

Total bullshit, optical illusions, standard crap. |
|
|
The house is nothing but a tribute to a mentally ill old woman with too much money.
The gun collection was nice, though. |
|
|
there have been numerous reports of ghostly sightings at Winchester mystery house, mrs Winchester's ghost still roams the house.
|
|
The parking lot at the cinemaplex was full so I parked my car in the Winchester Mystery House parking lot.
Lo and behold, when I got out of the movie, my car had disappeared! |
|
The best part is on the way out.
There are cabinets in the middle of two walkways. I was on the right and when the guy on the left stuck his head inside. I BANGED it as hard as I could. Scared to crap out of him!!! |
|
Been to both the Winchester and The Mystery Spot... both were cool...
Winchester House: Lots of beautiful things to see... NIIIIIIICE rifles too. The Mystery Spot. has some strange stuff going on there... some people even get sick and feel nausiated. Yet as soon as they get down off that hill... they are fine. Bizarre. If you have the chance... go... youll have fun |
|
Is the Mystery Spot where you go to the bottom of the hill and put your car in neutral, and supposedly it'll go back up the hill? |
|
|
Optical Illusion.... |

|
Been there done it, lots of rich looneys with to much time on there hands.
Ahh.........The Winchesters... www.prairieghosts.com/winchester.html If you can make time, I would surely take a trip to the Winchersters house of dreams, surely it will keep you pondering. Ave [ |
|
I guess if someone took a level and a tape measure, it'd ruin the fun. I'm sure plenty of people believe that there is some supernatural cause, even when told it is all just an optical illusion. |

There's another spot like that somewhere in the Bay Area called Gravity Hill. Same thing happens, but according to some people (and I don't believe this), if you dust your car with flour before you do it, you'll find handprints on it afterwards. |
|
|
See what happens when you take nice productive New England people and move them out to Kalifornia. They start talking to mystical anti-gun people and go nuts. What a waste. |

Y'know I've been past that place a hundred times and never went. Maybe I will pony up next time I go and take the tour.
Usually during Halloween we like to go the the Haunted Whorehouse in Port Costa. It is not a theme attraction, it is an actual brothel that looks like it did in the 1800s. The interior is completely as it was including creaking boards, exposed live light fixtures and 200 lb silver wall mirrors. From the outside is looks like it is abandoned and delapidated (it is) and the inside isn't much better. I was surprised we were even allowed in. Good times. You haven't met a ghost until you've met a hooker's! Besides, there is a killer bar next to it... NorCal |

The Winchester hous is one of the few reasons I'd like to go to Kali...just to visit...

The Winchester Mystery House is a pretty fun afternoon adventure. I've been 4~5 times over the years (I live off of Wnichester Blvd, about 10 miles south) and the gun collection is totally cool.
I've never stopped at the Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz, I'm usually flying by there in "full race" mode. |
|
I agree..........The Winchester House is a sight to see, sure California has some sorry ridiculous laws when it comes to Gun laws and PC ways of life. But the sights are interesting, and plenty of history across the state.

I've been to the Winchester House. There's a lot of picture worthy things inside. They have a room with stuff worth over x amount million dollars. There's staircases that lead to nothing, doors that open to walls, etc. The house is very large and at the end they tell you how many miles you've walked. I don't remember how many we walked.
I took some pictures inside and got some weird things back in them. I had a friend send them to one of those sites that examines them for "unnatural" things and they found something in one of the pictures. If I can ever find it again, I'll post it. I don't know how reliable that stuff is and all, but still... There's a rifle museumish thing off to the side of the house and a gift shop there as well. (no, there are no guns in the gift shop) I've also been to the Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz, CA. I have a book on all the different mystery spots around the world, but I stopped reading for now because it got all sciencey on me. It was very weird.... There's a hill you walk up to get to the house itself, which you feel like you're leaning a certain direction when going up the hill. Once you get into the house itself, things lean a certain way for no reason whatsoever...even the people. We went up there and some people's cameras and watches stopped working. Why? I don't know, but they said it's not uncommon. I think the whole story about how the house got there is BS, but the gravitational thing itself is not. (IMO) There were a few people who said they were feeling lightheaded etc when they went up to the Mystery Spot as well. Both are worth a visit to see. |
|
The camera shake is from getting constantly bumped into....most likely from the really fat guy that was behind me that day. If you zoom in uber close, there is apparently something in the mirror (obviously no one there, because it would've been clearer). It is supposedly a head or something to that effect. |

Me! Though I saw it as walking up the stairs lol |
