You're giving these places excellent exposure and basically advertising them, I'll never understand the ones that won't let you film. Keep up the great work!

@gravedigr12 4 жыл бұрын

because they think by preventing people from filming it others have to come and see it in person. yeah I know it's a damn stupid policy because guys like this as mentioned before are essentially advertising for them but when I can't even see a film I don't want to go there it actually bores me it doesn't create a sense of curiosity at all and I end up going to a different museum that I can film inside of.

It’s actually a 12 foot drop. Also, she took the earthquake as an omen that the front of the house was close to completion and the back wasn’t nearly worked enough. The spirits weren’t thrilled with it so she shut off the north and continued the back. Also, they technically don’t know where the farm house was originally because it had been built around so much. She also had a room called the “hall of fires” that was literally a room with a chair, 4 fire places, and 3 hot air vents that she often sat in to ease her arthritis pains.

@victoriatrimble42 4 жыл бұрын

She also put hot water sinks that had built in scrubbing boards in the laundry room so it was less work in the maids. She also had a specific bedroom for every worker who lived there, had a floor completely dedicated to her workers, and had a huge bell that rang every day at noon and 5pm to inform workers that it was their meal time, which she fed them all. They were paid double the going rate for workers and had a guaranteed job at all times. It’s rumored that the bell would also ring at midnight and 2am while she visited her seance room. She also had her carriage house built into her house so that the drivers didn’t have to fetch the horse and carriage from outside.

I took the tour a long time ago, and our tour guide said it was so Sarah's caregivers could check in on her in the bathroom in case she fell in the shower. That is why she had a glass door on her shower.

This was one of my favorite things that l visited in California when l went in the early 90's. It still looks the same. They do a great job maintaining it. It's kind of sad for poor old Mrs. Winchester though. She had all that money but she didn't ever seem to be very happy. She just became a recluse and never enjoyed anything about being wealthy.

@Rob S I guarantee you that most people that watch a Carpetbagger video just want to visit the places themselves even more. Just look at how often certain places become overcrowded with people because it got trendy on instagram for example. The joke "exposure doesn't pay the bills" came about because people would take an artist's craft for granted and also never really have the exposure to give. They aren't selling a service, it doesn't change anything. There is no ending or twist that a KZfaq video would give away.

I work there and I was so stoked to meet The Carpetbagger and Adam. I don't know why it took me so long to finally watch this episode. I remember we were in the gazebo which has been converted into a small museum just off of the gift shop, and there was an animal chirping and running around above us in the ceiling and we caught a glimpse of it in an open hatch, realizing it was a squirrel hiding from the rain outside.

what i loved the most about visiting this property was the commitment to preservation.. the unfinished parts painted black, the visible cracks from the earthquake.. the extended grounds tour was my favorite part. why sarah continued to build i have no idea, but it used to be EVEN BIGGER before the earthquake, which blows my mind! as for the ghosts, i’ve never felt a place less haunted in my life. spiritualism was pretty popular at the time though, so seeking out a psychic during mourning seems pretty logical.
