West San Jose, CA

San Jose

Beautiful historic mansion owned by Sarah Winchester owner of the Winchester rifle. Many believe the house to be haunted by the souls who was killed from the Winchester rifle. House is well maintained but some of its structures was destroyed from the earthquake. Still it’s a beautiful place to check out if you are in the area. #history #travel
The mansion was once owned by Sarah Winchester, the widow of firearms William Wirt Winchester.  The Queen Ann Style Victorian mansion is renowned for it's size, it's architecual curiosities and it's lack of any master building plan.  Under her day-to-day guidance, it's "from-the-grounds-up" construction  proceeded, by some  accounts, non-stop 24/7 for 38 years until her death in 1922 at which time construction ceased.

Winchester Mystery House now has two different tours. I recommend the ‘Explore More’ tour if you’ve already experienced the main tour. They take you into places the regular tour doesn’t go.
This place was insane! Completely constructed by spirit inspiration, Sarah Winchester continuously built up an eight room farm house with stairs that lead into ceilings, doors that open to walls, and long, maze-like corridors connecting rooms.

Her medium told her she should do this to appease the spirits of the Native Americans killed by Winchester guns.

Room was very clean and spacious, and the bed was very comfortable. It was quiet and I couldn’t hear any street noise inside. I like the room cool, and like white noise from the fan.

I slept one night, when I woke up and turned the bathroom lights on there was a small red colored cockroach bug. Had to grab all my things out the bathroom so it wouldn't crawl on any of them. I wished there was a microwave too. Staff was kind.
