The legend goes that Sarah Winchester was so haunted by the ghosts of people killed by Winchester guns that she built her massive house to confuse them and evade death. But it turns out that's not quite the truth... so what is? Who, really, was Sarah Winchester? And why did she build the Winchester Mystery House? Come learn with me!

I think my favorite part of this story is that when Sarah died, after having to put up with all of the ridiculous rumors of her being haunted by the spirits of those killed by rifles, she donated the rest of her gun fortune to a hospital. A place meant to save lives.

this is actually really wholesomeā¦ like, itās just nice how she decided to deal with grief by (in some way?) making art out of architecture and ended up with a really cool elaborate house

As a Victorian home museum tour guide, I absolutely understand the difficult knife's edge you have to walk between giving facts and history and catering to visitors' desire for ghost stories. The museum where I volunteer (Heritage Square in Pasadena, CA) has been leaning into the spookier side of things over the last few years to help raise visibility. My focus on my tours has always been the history of the owners, and if I do talk about hauntings, I always frame them as rumors or legends. But as you said, it's what brings people to the museum and, more importantly, brings in the money needed to restore and maintain these homes. So thank you for pointing that out.

As a former tour guide, seeing this in my recommended was a bit of a shock. I worked there for two years and only left due to covid, and I miss it more than anything. I can't watch this video yet but I look forward to people spreading the truth about Winchester instead of the stories we're forced to say.

With stories like this one, ghosts are the least interesting part. The grief, mental illness, wealth, and the violent history involved are what I find most interesting. Paranormal elements are often tied up with these events, because the idea that life is unfair and chaotic is too much for a lot of people.

My favorite part of the Winchester house when I visited was how Mrs Winchester was a very small woman and so a lot of the doors and appliances in the house were also short because like, why wouldn't you design your own house to have things you can reach easily. Anyway it was funny as a tiny woman myself watching all the big guys in our tour group have to duck to go through doorways!

You know, it's a real shame that the guides of the Winchester Mystery House have to play up the legend for paranormal investigators. For Buzzfeed Unsolved specifically, I imagine that Shane would LOVE hearing about the history and the truth of the house! Man clearly loves history, and he specifically isn't there to prove that ghosts are real. I think that he would actually adore being told the history that the tour guides have to downplay for the tourists and people who want to hear ghost stories. If they revisit the Winchester Mystery House for Ghost Files, I genuinely hope that this time they'll get the actual history!

As a former senior guide at WMH , I cannot thank you enough for this video. Itās what every guide there wishes they could say.

Iāve been there twice, both occasions related to death. My dog died in 2018 and the cremation center was around there. Iād got to say my goodbyes and got closure. That whole day it was cloudy and raining. Afterwards we got ice cream to celebrate my dogās life. My sis mentioned the Winchester house and we decided to go there. In short I love the architecture & pairs great with stormy weather. Our tour guide looked & sounded like Ben Linus from āLost.ā No ghosts. After the tour at around 6pm, all of a sudden it was sunny and warm like rain had never happened.
Second was in Dec 2019. My friend died and the funeral was in Santa Cruz. I stayed there for two nights. On the third day I drove back to my home city which passed San Jose. Without realizing it I was near the Winchester house. Decided to go there again to calm me down like how it did when my dog died. The house was decorated with Christmas trees and lights. It was eerie and beautiful. Again no ghosts but after the tour I overheard a parent call his childās named which happened to be the same as my deceased friend.

I am descended from the Henry that ran the Henry repeating arms company. It's funny how different the story of the interaction between Henry and Winchester I was always told is from what you state in the video. My family says that Winchester was a lowly shirt merchant that stole from us, took our rifle desighn and ruined our company. I was always aware that this view point is quite bias but it's interesting how the bias has dripped down through the years.

as a kid i had a couple of my birthday parties at the winchester mystery house, i was fascinated with all the odd design choices. they market it to be this paranormal experience so for a lot of people it tends to be a disappointment because its not quite a haunted house, but it is still a super interesting historical artifact that i think people should see!

As a tour guide that works there now, i am so grateful that you made this video! Hopefully a lot of people watch it and they understand the truth of our beloved Mrs. Winchester. I love the house and I love the history of it. We all love Mrs. Winchester at the house and we try to tell her story as best as we can. I will definitely recommend your video on my tours!

It's true, I was the house.

there was an old house in terrible shape my dad bought with the hopes of fixing up and living in (he bit off more than he could chew so he sold it) it was so beautiful. there was a cool "secret" staircase, probably for the staff, and some other little hiding spots that we weren't exactly sure the purpose of. when you said how victorian homes were maze like i thought of that house. it was renovated and they kept the main staircase, but they made the rest of it all modern and cheap and im sad about that

Sarah Winchester is a whole dang Moodā¢ļø. I, too, like to keep to myself and would like to build a big, rambling Victorian mansion. History did her SO dirty and I'm sad that a lot about her life is only being brought to light now. What an absolute icon š

wondering if sarah winchester (of legend) ever considered that ghosts can walk through walls when making her house a labyrinth

I lived in a historic neighborhood and the amount of doors you see randomly on the side of a building that used to have a balcony/ other wing is really common. Keeping up old houses is expensive buuut nailing a door shut and smacking new siding on is less expensive.

Not gonna lie, I was a little disappointed to hear this at first but honestly Sarah sounds so dang relatable. It's a story of an independent woman overcoming her grief and living her best life, and that's pretty great. Thanks so much for sharing this, I'm looking forward to telling others about it too!!!

Ngl, learning about the real history of the Winchester house made me want to actually visit it so much more than any ghost stories ever could. We love history in this household!
