Yes😂

@@dellisulthanashaik4131 oh superb

I visited back in 2014 and it was truly amazing learning the story of the actual Sarah Winchester and not the ghost stories we're all used to! Like "The Hall of Fire" -- a hallway lined with fireplaces, was installed to heat Sarah's joints because she had arthritis (I think she was in her 80s when she began living at this house), and her arthritis was also what lead to the staircase with stairs that are about three inches in height so she could more easily walk up them and not have to lift her legs high up as you would with normal staircases. The slanted counter tops adjoining the sink in the kitchen were so any water that splashed up onto the counters would slide back down into the drain and return to the water tank she kept on property. She also had a very large orchard and buildings that would be used to store the fruits and workers would make jams, jellys, marmalades, and preserves that would be sold to the general stores in town! She was also a very kind employer, building residences on her property for her employees and their families to live in, she paid them well above the average of what was the norm at the time, made sure that all her employees and their families had the best health and dental care, and would often give them nice bonuses for Christmas, bought gifts for their children, and would spend Christmas (and Thanksgiving) dinner with them as she really thought of them as her family as she lost her daughter and her husband within a very short time of each other, and the only "family" she had living in that large house of hers was her niece who doubled as her caregiver later in Sarah's life. (I've heard different accounts saying that she left her niece everything, other accounts saying she left half of her fortune to her niece and the other half went to the city of San Jose or at least to different charities around the area. I know she did leave her niece her entire Tiffany collection consisting of not only jewelry, but also ornate furniture and silverware, as well as many Tiffany stained glass pieces - all of which were on display when I went, and was the first room my tour group saw. I vaguely remember the tour guide mentioning at the time that everything in that room was estimated to be $250k altogether, although I believe it's been moved somewhere else or possibly auctioned off... I'm not sure. This was almost ten years ago.) My tour guide definitely leaned more into the real story of Sarah Winchester and the house, instead of playing into the ghost stories and legend of "the curse" (he made it very clear that he didn't believe in that sort of thing), and gave pretty sound reasons to explain the "weird" and "spooky" events ghost hunters and ghost enthusiasts latch onto for that scare - such as the most likely reason the house had the "odd" layout that it did was not because Sarah was trying to confuse the spirits of the victims of Winchester firearms (he even stated that the medium everyone cites as being the one who "convinced" Sarah to move out to California and build a house for the spirits haunting her was likely a fraud attempting to take advantage of a grieving elderly woman, if he ever existed at all), but that Sarah was not an architect and didn't know a thing about construction or building a home, so she was likely flying by the seat of her pants (so to speak) and being like "Yeah I want this room here, that room there, and I want a door that just opens up to nothing, and I want this set of stairs to lead into the ceiling" and the builders had to keep up. He also stated that there were no records of any employees mysteriously dropping dead and Sarah "forcing" construction to continue as to not "anger the spirits", that the earthquake that had knocked down a tower of the home and caused a barricade to form in front of Sarah's bedroom door was nothing supernatural, but one of many earthquakes that occurred in Northern California that year. (I've heard some stories claiming that it was either residual tremors from the earthquake that caused the Golden Gate Bridge to collapse in San Francisco or the earthquake itself moving through the area - I'm not entirely sure.) If I'm remembering correctly, Sarah died about three days after the earthquake? Again, I'm not completely sure as I'm re-telling almost ten year old information from memory, but what most paranormal enthusiasts painting as Sarah "finally falling victim to the curse" was really a combination of Sarah having dealt with a long illness of some sort that drained her of a lot of her energy, and the fact that she was 83 when she passed (I believe it was "natural causes"-- likely a heart attack in her sleep). And the spooky going-ons at night while she was living in the house, the stories of employees hearing footsteps down the hall but not seeing anyone, or catching fleeting ghostly images were most likely Sarah herself. Sarah was a short woman standing all of five feet tall (some claim 5'3"), so many of her employees would not be able to see her walking on the other side of a counter taller than her - at most they would see the top of her head as she went from room to room during the night while holding a candle. I remember being extremely mad at the time of the tour because nobody was allowed to film or photograph the inside of the house, as the rights to the house were in the possession of Universal Studios at the time, and they were trying to get their horror movie about "The Winchester Curse" off the ground. The guide said it had been in Development Hell/Limbo for several years at that point, and didn't believe it would ever get made... and he was right because about four years later Universal probably sold the rights and we got that awful Warner Bros. Winchester movie in 2018! All that to say, hard agree about encouraging people to learn the real history of the woman behind the name! Admittedly, the ghost stories were what got me interested in Winchester Manor (I don't remember my tour guide ever using the name Llanada Villa or telling us that *that* was the name Sarah had given the property) - and they can be pretty fun! But I am all for encouraging folx to learn the stories beyond the ghosts and "the curse" about the real Sarah Winchester, and make the pleasant discovery of just how much of a forward-thinker and innovator she was to early 1920s California! (As my father pointed out when I regaled him with the story of Sarah and her home, "She was interested in water conservation long before it became the "Big Deal" it is now in California!") Plus there's so much more information that I didn't include in this comment out there!

I have read this book also. It is a great resource regarding Sarah and the mansion.

I havent heard of you or viewed any of your content but i just clicked on your pic and subscribed because your name is Gorey bits haha !!!ill be checking you out soon

Was it REALLY HAUNTED?!?!

I agree. Best thing on you tube. Love them

:)

I find myself nonstop going to it

I agree! I love them!

The Winchester house looks so cool and and Jessica looks so amazing as usual and Michael you sound so amazing to I love you to so much 💕👻

Silence? All I heard was her mumbling behind her mask and some melodramatic loud music.

Yes how long they been married?

@@jessicafallen9455 They just celebrated 4 years last week.

Good marriage a beautiful thing

She also has a fatty lucky guy.

@@mosthated8848 😭😭😭

Me too!!! Always love this, I was born in 1967.

I read that as "I still haven't made it out of there yet"

@@gabrielwright6949 Haha me too!!

Really? There have been several tv shows filmed in and about the place.

Yeah I don’t think Jordan the Lion could film inside, I seem to remember he posted stills of the interior.

Having always heard that if she continued to build on to the house she would never die-she held a seance almost every week to try and reach her deceased husband and child -both died within months of each other-but the point is she really believed she could live forever if she just kept building on to her house. She had the means to continually pay contractors to keep on building. On my bucket list must go sometime , living in L A it’s nearby, not in another state.

The house is tiny because she was not dwarf like but she was a very small woman and the house was built to her specification’s, to accommodate her.

You both make a great, loving couple. Jessica so cool and doesn’t complain about anything, “just goes with it”.

It truly is

She had lots of builders for company 😊

dont forget the ghosts

She didn’t live there the entire time--she had other houses nearby.

she didnt tons of people lived there with her

15 minute video, six minutes inside the house mostly watching little stuff the woman in black is doing. Not that interesting in comparison to what kind of presentation of the house they could have made.

This is in California?

@@bryceharper446 yes.

and with all the money she built a mansion with walls and doors leading to no where to accommodate the dead spirits that where taken by the winchester rifle

The first and only story my grandpa told me (as an 8year old) was the story of the Winchester rifle and Sarah. So happy see other murderinos( *my favorite murder* ) are doing the trek too. Such a beautiful house and such cool history!!

It's humans that took lives " with rifles".

That’s correct.

@@plutoplatters well no sht Sherlock, how awfully presumptive of you.

I have to use captions to hear her. She’s not just there to be cute but I mostly can’t hear it. Maybe he can get a more sensitive mic for the camera and point it at her. I still love their content.

Rose Red was not a real house. It was a fictional story. The story was based on the Winchester Mansion. The movie was filmed at Thornewood Castle in Tacoma Wa. And it’s still there.

Yes he did.😊

Fun fact,... It's mentioned at the start of the video 😉.

It's usually fun when mention so I read.

Ohh I always have too

You can't help but love guns though. They are so effective and ultimately decisive.

Except that is not at all the case here. No truth to any kind of crazy building because of guilt.

What a teaser. Spill the beans…

It's a shame he didn't reply 😂

Jesus that’s awesome! I am in the uk and would love to go , fair play ! If you’ve bin there I spect you’ve bin to loads of historically spook places

@@nathannicholson3092 the good thing about California are the beautiful places we have here. As well as the different climates. Surfing on the coast, snowboarding in the mountains, hiking in the desert... It's beautiful. Politicians here are trash, but it's California, it's expected. If you ever do come over to check out the Winchester, I would also recommend Hearst Castle, Monterey Bay, Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Coit Tower, Muir Woods, and Morro Bay. Such gorgeous views and peaceful exciting experiences.

20mil back in the day was probably like a gazillion dollars today!

@@demoneyes9351 Yes $20 Million doesn't sound like much but as you said it would be a f---n huge amount today.

Pretty sure she got a massive stake in the company as well, something to the tune of 50 percent. Def a ton of funds for the time as there were not nearly as much material things to buy as, say, now. I think 20M in 1880 is equivalent to 620M now. Still, I am always fascinated by her story!

20 MILL US dollars times the rate of inflation. 1$ back in 1860 is worth $34 today so the answer is 20 000 000 x 34. Nearly 7 Billion $.. Money aside I love this house it's amazing.

Is it possible she kept construction going so she could stay sane in her time of grief? Construction would have meant there were always lots of people around and lots of activity. That would perhaps distract her from getting stuck in depression. Even apart from that, there's something satisfying about building something. Just some thoughts without having done any research about Mrs. Winchester.

Felt an held guilt but it wasn't her fault. 😪😪

Britt Nicole , the story goes that Sarah thought the ghosts told her if she ever stopped building on to house that she would die!

@@lynnrinaldo6795 i believe a medium told her that. This is why ....read the bible. 😂....Deuteronomy explains what could have saved Sarah from this crazed nonsense. I do love the house though.

Yes, especially when I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE IS SAYING BECAUSE OF THE MASK.

@@CivilEngineerWroxton OMG I JUST COMMENTED THE SAME THING...VERY ANNOYING

Masks are a medical Device so government can’t force you to wear them, but you are in California the land of communism

Who cares what people do with their lives??? Not to mention, it doesn’t matter if anyone is around or not, a lot of places require a mask on even if outside so long as you’re on their property so mind your own business and worry about your own life

@@daisiesandazaleas I made a comment because I can and because I felt like it. I don't care how anyone lives their lives, but science says you aren't catching Covid outside in the sun. My comment was neither rude nor disrespectful, so show me the same respect if you reply to my comment or just move on please and mind your own business then.
