Macabre Mondays

48. The Winchester Mystery House


Listen Later

We're back! For Chapter 2 of Macabre Mondays.

In this episode of Macabre Mondays, we walk through the history of the Winchester Mystery House, tracing how tragedy, spiritual belief, and public fascination turned a private woman into a permanent ghost story.


The Winchester Mystery House is famous for what it doesn’t make sense of, staircases that end at the ceiling, doors that open into walls, windows built into floors, and a layout so confusing it feels intentional. For nearly 40 years, the house was under constant construction.


At the center of it all was Sarah Winchester, a grieving widow who inherited a massive fortune connected to the Winchester rifle. As her home grew more complex, rumors followed, that the house was designed to confuse spirits, that Sarah feared the dead, and that stopping construction would mean her own death. Because when a house refuses to make sense, it forces us to ask,

what was really being built… and why?

Come back tomorrow for our anniversary episode for a little something fun we have in store to celebrate.
