Learn the true story of Winchester Mansion
Winchester family
After death arrived in her life, taking away her beloved husband when he became ill with Tuberculosis and her only daughter when she had a childhood illness, Sarah Winchester was completely alone, so seeking help and comfort she went with a medium, who told her that a curse had fallen on her family and that the next victim to lost the life was herself.
The Winchester House
Although the curse couldn´t be destroyed, the medium told Sarah that if she wanted to stay alive, she would have to move to a new house, a house she would have to build for the spirits without ever finishing it, from 1884 to 1922, there was no day that something was not being built in the Winchester house.
September 5 was when Sarah Winchester passed away, while she slept in her bed at 82 years old.
Sarah’s property ended up being a Victorian-style mansion, the most extravagant and strange that exists in the world; The property has 10,000 windows, 2, ooo doors, 160 rooms, 17 fireplaces and many things with the number 13.
The Winchester house was made to please the spirits at their will, since many of the ideas of the constructions were given by the same spirits; some adaptations of the house so that the ghosts were happy, it was that a lot of light was needed so that the spirits did not feel overwhelmed because they couldn’t show their own shadow.
Another adaptation of the Winchester house is that there were almost no mirrors, since spirits hate mirrors because their reflection makes them disappear.
It isn´t known if it is by coincidence or by choice but the number 13 seems to be very important in the Winchester mansion, since there are 13 stairs with 13 steps, 13 hooks in Sarah’s closet, 13 bathrooms and candle holders for 13 candles.
Sarah’s will was divided into 13 parts. In honor of that mysterious 13, every time there is a Friday the 13th, the bells are played 13 times at 1:00 p.m. (13:00)
Many workers and visitors of the Winchester house have witnessed the paranormal phenomena that occur, doors are closed, things are inexplicably moved, they hear noises and voices, they feel they touch them, they can see one or more spirits, it´s even said that the Sarah’s spirit is one of the most manifested entities.
