The mysterious Winchester mansion

You already know that in Mysterious we love mysterious scenarios.Those places full of legend and history that transcend to the present day.You may have occasionally heard of the Mansion Winchester , a sophisticated and old construction that, as we are recommended, «you should not enter only under any concept».The reason? No, it is not that you should fear the ghosts-that there may be them-but that their main mystery lies in the fact that it is such a complex, strange and chaotic construction, that you run the risk of losing yourself and never finding the way out.

The reason for this architectural madness is due to the bad faith of a group of mediums, some people who took advantage of the widow of William Wirt Winchester. Without knowing it, they were with its bad arts that originated the truly strange phenomena in this mansion.Those who brought the calamity to a woman who only felt alone and abandoned.But let's start the story in its correct order, by its beginnings...

The alleged curse Winchester

Perhaps you have already deduced the origin of this old mansion.Winchester.In fact, William Wirt Winchester was the heir to this famous rifle that caused so many human disasters during the past.It was he and his wife who raised their elega nte mansion in San Jose, California at the end of the 19th century.

But the fatality comes very soon to the family: the only daughter of both dies early in sad circumstances, something that led to Sarah Winchester To a long depression.And if this were not enough, after a few years her husband also died, victim of a depression that she could not overcome after the death of the daughter they had in common.

The mysterious Winchester mansion

Too much horror, too much pain in such a short time...Sarah didn't know what to do and resorted to the last option she should have chosen: call some mediums. And what did those experts tell her? Obviously, the tragedy was due to an evil eye, a dark curse associated with the Winchester family and her husband in particular.The weight of all deaths during the Western Conquest, weighed according to the mediums on that bloody surname he had designed the famous weapon.

The origin of the chaotic Mansion Winchester

Credible? Not at all.What these people gave was a great opportunity to get money.A lot of money.Sarah was still a young woman, but from then on her life was even more desperate and dark, since until she died she lived with the anguish of escaping day after day of that terrible curse .And to avoid it, he had to follow the orders that the mediums prescribed.

And what did they "recommend"? That he made works in the mansion.That he made it bigger, with more rooms, more rooms, more corridors, more recesses, false doors, corridors that did not give anywhere...

The mysterious Winchester mansion

Sarah Winchester had an inheritance of 20 million dollars and a net profit of 1,000 dollars a day.We were in 1881, and the mediums were remarkably enriched with it thanks to these meaningless advice, to a premise that was based simply on keeping a work in the house 24 hours of the day in an interrupted way.They were then 38 years of continuous construction, thus raising an authentic architectural puzzle without beginning or end, to prevent the ghosts from bothering her, to escape from a curse associated with the rifles Winchester.The house was up to seven stories high, although the 1906 earthquake left the re modeling in four.

Doors that led nowhere, stairs that went up and behind a door went down again or that led directly to the ceiling...a chaos that could drive anyone mad, a house that I just have 7 floors, 160 rooms, 40 rooms, 6 kitchens, 13 bathrooms, 47 fireplaces and incredible useless rooms, in addition to meaningless decorative elements, almost all associated with the number 13 , the number favorite of Sarah Winchester.

The mysterious Winchester mansion

As a result of these constructions, almost 10 families were enriched over four decades, thanks to the Machiavellian plan of fake mediums.The most amazing thing about all this is that when Sarah died at 83, she was her niece who was finally able to manage the family assets, but when he put up that disconcerting mansion for auction, only earned $ 135,000. A real misery.

Since then, the house has been a pilgrimage center She goes on to say that poor Mrs.Winchester is still there, desolate, crying the loss of her husband and daughter, also regretting having been cheated for so many years, so many years...

If you are interested in meeting her, you can do it and explain your experience.Do you dare? Here we leave you the link of the famous Winchester Mistery House.

Does the Third Eye really exist?

The true human blood drinkers

A recent BBC documentary based on a study by the American John Edgar Browning, with the title of " Royal Vampires of New Orleans and Buffalo: research notes towards a comparative ethnography ”, has returned to place on the table, if at some point I cease to be, the fascinating theme of vampirism, but this time from a different perspective than literature or the “red” pages. “True Blood” True Browning managed to contact true human blood drinkers in the cities mentioned above, even though he believes that there should be similar groups in other cities in the United States and the rest of the world, but they stay away from the media and public visibility due to the macabre and vampire connotations of their habit.
