The **UNTOLD STORY** of Winchester Mystery House

[@AlextheHistorian]

Do you think the Winchester House is haunted?

[@kgslounge7039]

I absolutely love the video. Amazing work and interesting story. Please do more videos about the Winchester House. No, I do not believe the house is haunted. I'm a huge fan of architecture through the ages. Great job Alex. Keep up the good work.

[@AlextheHistorian]

I'm glad you suggest that because I was wondering if there was ways I could make more videos about the house.

[@wildsmiley]

No, but then I don't believe anywhere is actually haunted. Not Queen Mary, not this place. But great video, my friend! It was neat to learn about it.

[@DelightfulToucan-sl2xu]

it sure is

[@patrickgomes2213]

Only by the spirit of our imagination. But there's something more than meets the eye going on in that house. I don't think we've figured it out - it might just be Sarah Winchester laughing at us and saying, "Try to figure it out. You never will."

[@violetpup4272]

I worked as a tour guide there in the early 2000’s. The house can be creepy when you are alone in it cleaning. We had to know the house and how to exit incase of emergencies. I loved walking up the easy riser stairs. The tour wouldn’t get as many visitors if the ghost stories were not told sadly. The legend has kept the house intact. It would have been sold a long time ago if it was just weird architecture.

[@aladrasullivan9018]

That's interesting luv,thanks for sharing the info.

[@jeffreycharles5035]

I’ve done the tour there and they hardly mention any actual history but really play up the paranormal story. I also read she kept up the construction to make sure all her carpenters had jobs as she was very fond of them.

[@AlextheHistorian]

That's true!

[@LeeDerry-mm3zf]

I have been there several times. She was in the house during the earthquake all made up

[@tamieveslage9844]

When we toured they did focus on history and downplayed the paranormal. The also mentioned the care and fondness for the construction workers. Maybe it depends on the tour guide

[@sandrajones1613]

😮​@@LeeDerry-mm3zf

[@MamaBrizi]

I loved touring, but I would never go during their Halloween season. They play up too much to the paranormal. I’ve met children of people who worked for her and they’ve all said she was kind and truly wanted to help people by giving them well paying jobs! One man said he was saddened that history mostly remembers her as a crazy recluse, when she did so much for his family.

[@eakinde]

You gave Sarah the dignity she deserves. I hope more people will see the mansion as the home of an intelligent and generous woman, and less as a haunted carnival attraction. Great video, Alex!

[@AlextheHistorian]

Thank you! I certainly did my best to show people how remarkable and yet ordinary she was. I definitely wanted people to throw away the notion that she was "mad with grief".

[@largol33t12]

Despite its chilling history, the house is actually very beautiful. Mrs. Winchester was a skilled designer, no doubt, and the style has held up over the years. It still looks timeless and classy but doesn't feel stale.

[@babybookworm003]

The truth despite it being interesting wasn’t what the gossipers wanted

[@LilladyTK]

​@babybo obviously okworm003

[@neffyg35]

I agree. His story telling made me love her. I would have loved to be her friend

[@momobec1]

damn, i shed a tear. she seemed like a remarkable woman. the one thing i got out of this is that having multiple people u love die around u one by one changes you drastically. she became reclusive but still was a woman of philanthropy which i admire greatly.

[@lonelybones8576]

One thing that is completely undisputed, that house is absolutely beautiful

[@jnm2088]

So in other words, she was a compassionate, eclectic woman that loved her family and workers.

[@ninjagirl226]

I drove past this the Winchester house two weeks ago. What shocked me is the drab modern buildings that just surround it. It’s kind of sad.

[@AlextheHistorian]

I agree!

[@ninjagirl226]

@@AlextheHistorian Granted how many other historical sites are like that? I mean look at where we think the hangings in Salem occurred. It’s now a Walgreens. For a while the home of Franklin Pierce was a multi unit apartment complex before they moved the home and opened it for tours. Grant’s Cottage in upstate New York is next to a now abandoned prison. Not that this justifies anything it’s just more putting things in context. Maybe I thought that because the Winchester home is so large nothing would be near it. Granted I never would have thought a prison would have been built next to Grant’s cottage so who am I to really judge.

[@newlam7958]

I know what you mean. There was a senior citizens mobile park with a lot of trees next to the Winchester house that had been there for decades, I think Google or Facebook bought it and built a 10 story drab apartment building on the property.

[@jartober]

​@@newlam7958yup. Hate it

[@aladrasullivan9018]

Yes I totally agree luv

[@jpotter2086]

Having heard folk rumors about the house for decades, this was the best short exploration I have ever seen.

[@mommamimaashouse9511]

Thank you for giving Sarah’s story the compassion it deserves. 💕

[@tabaxikhajit4541]

I have memories of visiting this house as a child. I remember the stairs that lead nowhere and other odd elements. No one explained it like you have. I feel like I'm seeing the house I've been in for the first time. Thank you for telling a respectful story of Mrs. Winchester.

[@AlextheHistorian]

My pleasure!

[@savannah5333]

I always have dreams in this very confusing house I've never been to on the water. Always the same house.

[@fredachildress3728]

My ex-husband and I actually took a tour of the house, and we really enjoyed it. The innovations that Sarah Winchester put into her home, and using parts from the rifle was pure genius on her part.

[@ethanol1586]

I'm very lucky to live close by to the house and I've been multiple times. I've always been fascinated with the house, from the story to the design there's something about it that keeps attracting me back to it. It's like stepping into a history book, the architecture, design, layout, and history always makes for an exciting visit

[@deborahd7321]

May Sarah rest in eternal peace with her husband and little one taken too soon. Bless her forever amen.

[@paulastanmoore1413]

if it had not been haunted before Sarahs death it soon became haunted because i am sure Sarah is still wandering her home keeping an eye on things. Thank you for telling Sarahs story in a kind way and not casting aspersions about her mentality.

[@airtiki2374]

Wow what an in depth version of Sarah and the house..All I have ever heard was the 'spooky stuff'

[@lisabertagna4721]

When I toured the Winchester house of mystery. I was intrigued. The tour guides do hype up.Ghost and mystery of sarah winchester. I felt completely at ease being there. I could feel Her pain of the great losses she endured in her life. At the same time I also felt a sense of peace that she is at peace. Thank you so much for this video. You put it down. Into reality not into the paranormal. There's never no mention of her little dog's that she loved so much. ❤

[@deannag48]

No I don't think it was ever haunted...more folklore. Such a beautiful story of Sarah. Thank you it's such a logical sensible life she lived. It's incredibly awesome to hear about all of her philanthropy!! What a beautiful loving Lady. 🩷

[@FuzNud]

Great video! I’m a tour guide at the mansion. It’s true that we tell the “legend” but recently, most of us have also been mentioning more of the truth about her since we got the okay to do so. We are still researching and learning about her as well as the house. All of us at the house are passionate, we love the house and Sarah

[@jennifermartinez6102]

This has to be the best documentary on Mrs. Winchester that I have ever seen. Thank you so much for doing such a beautiful job conveying what an amazing woman she really was. I believe that you have made her soul happy.

[@AlextheHistorian]

That's so kind of you to say! Thank you

[@classrockin]

Toured Winchester Mystery House in 96, absolutely loved it. Our Hostess, Audra made the tour so fun and interesting, I loved her sense of humor. Anyway, if you haven't already done so, and have the opportunity, I highly recommend going on the tour!

[@Glen-qh5xq]

My company rented the house for a directors dinner. We had free roam of the place for a few hours with a guide to answer any questions. Fascinating place.

[@huntlife]

I'm glad to know the truth regarding this woman and her amazing home. Some of us get an unfair share of losing loved ones.

[@artsygala]

The stained glass windows and doors were made by Tiffany. Great video. Here's a suggestion for another video: New Almaden, a historic site south of San Jose, where cinnabar was mined for its mercury to glean gold in the heydays of the Gold Rush.

[@hjp9815]

Just noting the stained glass has more recently been credited to John Mallon, not Tiffany. Mallon's stained glass company was based in San Francisco.

[@hjp9815]

See the 2019 SFGate story on the topic titled "An envelope, hidden in a wall for 100 years, helps solve a Winchester Mystery House riddle" for more on the glass if interested.

[@kathryngordon5115]

I would be lying if I said that I'm not more interested in the paranormal stuff, but this was an amazingly fun and insightful pov I hadn't seen before; thank you.

[@kieka555]

I grew up in San Jose and visiting this house and heard all the ghost stories. I absolutely love how you told her story. It gave her so much more depth as a real person with real problems, hobbies and dreams. Thank you for doing this video and doing such a great job with it, it really warmed my heart.

[@AlextheHistorian]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@giraffesinc.2193]

I visited the house many years ago and thought it was quite lovely, though obviously eccentric. She sounded like a truly marvelous, generous lady, so I thank you for this very compassionate video about her!

[@neneshubby]

Despite what many think she wasn’t some crazy old spinster. She was a grieving widow and mother who’d lost numerous loved ones. She was intelligent and compassionate.

[@trishcraig723]

Thought he said she had no kids? That's why her sisters and their kids moved in.

[@AlextheHistorian]

@trishcraig723 She had an infant daughter who died back when they lived in Connecticut.

[@debbieschultz9768]

I’m from the Bay Area and have visited this house numerous times. I live in San Jose until I moved to Colorado in 2005. This home is gorgeous. There are a lot of ghost stories that aren’t true. She was a fascinating woman who had a big heart. The history of the house fascinated me every time I went on a tour. I know a lot of the ‘stories’ that were told with every tour I took. I paid attention to the architecture and beauty instead. I lived close enough that I could walk there to the theaters that were near the house. I’m grateful that I lived in California when it was beautiful including San Francisco because I have wonderful memories. Memories that no longer exist❤

[@thedebster3384]

Boy, that's for sure!! I've lived in the Bay Area all my life, it is no longer the same. I'm getting the heck out of California and not going to look back, there was a place and a time, and sadly, it no longer exists.

[@jangele]

One of the best school fieldtrips I took as a kid was to the Winchester Mansion and the nearby Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in the same day.

[@gridley]

I recall visiting the house when it was in fairly bad condition, with the exterior in great need of a paint job & the interiors looking abandoned. So today's Winchester reflects decades of hard work & a lot of investment. The house should be an inspiration of the management team of the Queen Mary to do the same thing with their structure, which is relatively young, albeit much larger, compared with a property from the 1800s.

[@lildee2626]

You gave Sarah Winchester a breath of fresh air in this video.

[@AlextheHistorian]

Thank you!

[@SuzanneLinsky]

Great documentary! I lived in San Jose, CA. several years ago and visited the Winchester House many times, She really was a kind and generous woman, treating her staff extremely well. It is a must see for any who visit the Bay Area, It's quite impressive.

[@abmadmo22396239]

My dad went to tour the house while out there on a business trip in the 70s and was told the crazy story about madness and appeasing the souls of those killed by the guns. I was enthralled by the oddity of it and a few years ago, my husband flew me out there to see it. The beauty of it made me weepy and I was pleased to hear the ACTUAL story of how and why she built it.

[@Anna-zg8tu]

In 1998 I was visiting a friend who lived in San Mateo and she took me sightseeing and it was so much fun. But touring the Winchester Mystery House was one of the highlights of my trip. I had always been fascinated by the house with its crazy architecture and I am so happy that I was given the opportunity to see it. Thank you for this most excellent video that brought back my memories of this fascinating house! ❤

[@AlextheHistorian]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@kathleenlawton]

You did a wonderful job on this. There was so much to cover and you made it so easy to understand in such a beautiful way. Thank you to you and everyone involved with this whole story!

[@AlextheHistorian]

My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it

[@TootsieShadow]

Well done!! You definitely cleared the air on a lot of misconceptions, most of which were created and perpetuated by the subsequent owners. The people that Sarah's niece sold the property to are the ones that installed the items in groups of 13. They even altered a chandelier and claimed it was designed just for her, with 13 lights, only you can see the weld marks where they had added the 13th one!! 😂 It's absolutely beautiful and definitely worth a visit, if you're in the area, but I don't believe it's haunted. 😊

[@kamicokrolock]

As soon as it was stated that Sarah had arthritis the shallow, deep treaded stairs made so much sense! It reminded me of when I visited Madisons Montpelier. Since the house was lived in until the 1980's there are some modern additions including staircases that are slightly shallower/longer than modern staircases which makes the site attractive to seniors wanting to visit historical homes as it's easier to go up and down the stairs. You know this is a more recent addition to the house because if you go to say Mount Vernon, staircases were much steeper than what we are use to and can be problematic for visitors with mobility issues (There is also extensive information on how the house evolved during its time owned by the DuPonts). If I was a rich widow with an interest in architecture and arthritis I'd have my staircases built like that too.

[@largol33t12]

She must have had a VERY good memory despite her health issues. I cannot imagine the terror of getting lost in there during a blackout. And yes, there were blackouts and she would retreat to her master bedroom and never leave. She was terrified of the constant footsteps because she couldn't tell if they were her staff or something else... Just creepy to think about.

[@ronadams3565]

@@largol33t12 , She had electric AND gas lighting with her own gas plant on the property. Read the book, "Captive of the Labyrinth". Excellent book on the real life of Sarah and her several homes in the Bay Area.

Absolutely amazing project. Also Sarah was receiving over $1,000 dollars per day from the sales of the Winchester rifles in 1881….! Fun Gun Fact.

[@emilywiebel3238]

She sounds like she was a great woman who cared deeply for the people around her. It’s also pathetic to hear how the media has been awful since day one. This video was great and I’m so glad her story was told how it should have always been spoken about.

[@jamesrobiscoe1174]

Thank you, Alex, for your straight report on Mrs. Winchester and her house. I would not be surprised if there are ghosts who occasionally roam the halls, since their existence was the very reason for the house being built in the first place. It is a beautiful manifestation of the creative zeitgeist. I'm glad to read the comments from others; they give the place more dimension in my mind.

[@RavynAngelDarck]

I have been fascinated by Sarah Winchester's story for years and this video is a wonderful testament to an incredible woman. Thank you for this!!!

[@kenziehurlock]

I'm visiting this architectural masterpiece later this month, and I want to study up on it before I visit. I find it fascinating that what I understand is that rather than being crazy she was just indecisive on what she wanted. Then, once the earthquake happened, she just gave up and had the damage blocked off and boarded up.

Yes it is haunted. I know from personal experience. As a child back in the 60's my family took the tour. My aunt had purchased me a pretty little porcelain pony in the gift shop before the tour started. During the tour some unseen force literally slapped that pony right out of my hand and it went flying across the room and broke. It wasn't until I grew up and remembered the incident that I now understand what caused it.

[@davew5383]

Hi Alex👋 This is a very interesting story about Sarah Winchester, I took the tour of the Winchester house in 1983 with my Dad, the house seemed very strange but I didn't feel any ghostly creepiness while I was there. I do remember the tour guide talking about Sarah Winchester having séance's in the house, even showing us the supposed séance room. It is very interesting now to find out after 41 years, that the reason for the stairs to nowhere and doors that opened out to nothing but a drop off, were actually due to the 1906 earthquake. I don't remember hearing about that on the tour. I would think that Sarah Winchester would appreciate you clearing up some of the mystery that has been told about her house for so many years.

[@AlextheHistorian]

Thank you! Yes I hope I did her justice.

[@sandytaylor2597]

Thank you for all your hard work. My parents took my brother and I on a tour a long time ago. I though the house was delicious and magnificent and definitely hounted. At the time they let us wander the yard of the house. Many years later we took our children to see the house. It took us a long time to find it, surrounded by regular town buildings. It still held the same magic for me, but my children were not impressed. They did love the yard though

[@Window549]

Thank you 🙏 so much for this amazing story and this amazing beautiful woman.

[@lisacooks]

Thank you for this video. This is a much more interesting story than the mythology that has grown up around this amazing woman. I visited the house as a child in the 1960s. When my family visited it was still in a neighborhood. There were houses surrounding it. San Jose was thought of as “in the country” to people like my family who lived in Los Angeles. Hence the hit song “Do You Know the Way to San Jose”. It makes me sad to see what surrounds it now.

[@Ximena-x8u6g]

Our tour guide said when he is closing the house at night when he is alone in the house he heard footsteps coming from different parts of the house

[@newlam7958]

As I recall, one of the presidents she refused to see was Theodore Roosevelt, who was an admirer of the Winchester Repeating Rifle. Roosevelt did visit the Santa Clara Valley in 1903 and stayed overnight on his train in Campbell. He greatly admired the blossoms of the orchards in bloom there and requested to spend the night in the area. The last time I visited the Winchester House was on Veterans Day in 1979. They happened to be finishing up filming an episode of "That's Incredible" there and John Davidson was there. At that time I did not watch the show nor ever heard of John Davidson. I saw women admiring him looking out of the window on a second floor and he was in the garden with some people being photographed.
