Winchester Home

    What do you think of when the word house comes to mind?  I picture a four bedroom, three bath modest home.  I don't think that spending very large, unusual amounts of money for a home would be something to invest in.  Homes should be cozy,comfortable, and a place filled with love.  I'm not saying if you have a huge house that it is a bad thing.  I like to look at larger scale home sites.  I've always wanted to go to California to see such a house. The Winchester Home.  I imagine it to be old, and filled with history.  You can now go on tours there, wonder how long that would take.  Some people say that it is haunted.  Winchester is a type of riffle, and the house belonged to the widow of Mr. Winchester.  Was Sarah Winchester abnormal for building this over sized house?  They say she was trying to keep ghost happy, and therefore had to keep building and adding onto her house.  She moved west to California, took her inheritance and got started.  I myself don't believe in ghost.  I've never seen one or felt a presence of one either.  Do they exist?  Sarah seemed to think so.  She lost her baby daughter,  and shortly after that her husband died.  She went to see a physic, in her time that was normal.  So the physic tells her she and her family is cursed because of the lives that their guns had taken.  Sounds to me like this physic didn't believe in the rite to bear arms.  Maybe that person didn't have any views on the government, or maybe perhaps she was just plain crazy!  Either way she tells Sarah to move west and the only way she could save her life was to build a house that would never end.  Can you imagine not having a life?  Being trapped to a house?  Never spending your money for travel, personal things you want, lavish items just for you?  Sarah Winchester moved, and started building twenty four hours a day.  It never stopped till the day she died.  Wait if Sarah was to keep building onto this house to stay alive...why did she die?  Could it be because physics are fake?  I think that she had mental problems to believe she had to keep ghost happy.  Did Sarah truly fear for her life?  I would love to go see the Winchester Home when my husband and I take my daughter out to Disney Land.  I'm not a superstitious person, but it would be cool to go to a supposed haunted house.  Not that I believe in hauntings, but until you experience something you can't throw the idea out the window.  I would enjoy seeing antique items, and the unusual, sometimes unexplained structures of the Winchester Home.
