Step into the labyrinthine world of the Winchester Mystery House with us, where staircases lead to ceilings and doors open to sheer drops. In this episode, we unravel the enigma of Sarah Winchester, the eccentric widow behind this architectural marvel. Was she truly haunted by the ghosts of those killed by Winchester rifles, or was there an earthlier explanation for her ceaseless construction? Join us as we separate fact from fiction, exploring the tragic losses that shaped Sarah's life, her lesser-known pursuits, and the surprising origins of some of the mansion's most bizarre features; challenging everything you thought you knew about America's most mysterious mansion.
