BEYOND THE INFORMER THE WINCHESTER MYSTERY HOUSE
One widow. One rifle fortune. Thirty-eight years of nonstop construction. This week on Beyond the Informer, we step inside the Winchester Mystery House — 160 rooms, staircases that climb into ceilings, doors that open onto sheer drops, and the number 13 hidden in its bones. Legend says Sarah Winchester was told by a medium that the ghosts of everyone killed by the “gun that won the West” were coming for her and the only way to survive was to never stop building. But was she building a sanctuary for the dead, a maze to lose them in, or was she simply a brilliant, grieving woman the world refused to understand? We dig into the séances, the blueprints, the 1906 earthquake, and the hauntings still reported today.
