NEW ROOM Winchester
Mystery House – A “new” room has been discovered at the Winchester
Mystery House, the former Victorian mansion of Sarah Winchester. Heiress to the
Winchester rifle fortune, a spiritualist told her to keep adding rooms. So the restless
spirits of murdered gunshot victims wouldn’t haunt her. After the 1906
earthquake, she boarded up sections of her house, thinking evil spirits were
responsible for her being trapped there. The new room, which is an attic space,
had been boarded up since she died in 1922. The preservation team found a pump
organ, Victorian couch, dress form, sewing machine and paintings.
I would love to visit the Winchester house! I've seen it featured on several TV shows, and it looks amazing. So cool about the discovery of the "new" room. Great photos too!
