00:00 The Winchester Mystery House is a fascinating story about a rich woman who believed in ghosts and built a unique and interesting house.

04:12 The Winchester Mystery House is an enormous mansion with an unknown number of rooms, estimated to be around 160, and was built by Sarah Pardee Winchester, the wife of William Winchester of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company.

08:03 Sarah Winchester, after experiencing the tragic loss of her daughter and husband, consulted a medium who told her that she would be haunted by the spirits of those killed by the Winchester rifle unless she built a house for them.

12:07 Sarah Winchester moved west to California and purchased a property where she planned to build a never-ending house to house the ghosts of those killed by the Winchester rifle, following the instructions she received from a medium.

16:00 Sarah Winchester fired her architect and became her own architect, receiving instructions on building through seances and designing rooms that would be built on top of other rooms.

20:00 Sarah Winchester lived in seclusion, always wearing black and a veil, and was protected by her staff from the outside world, but she was also kind and charitable, making anonymous donations to local charities and spending $5.5 million on the construction of the house, which included strange design elements such as stairs with low steps and switchbacks, hidden doorways, and cabinets that were only two inches deep.

24:10 After an earthquake, Sarah Winchester believed that the ghosts were mad at her and boarded up damaged parts of the house, sealing off the front entrance and a Tiffany stained glass window, and she lived on a houseboat in San Francisco Bay for six years before returning and building whatever, wherever in a frenetic pace.

28:10 Sarah Winchester's house had numerous unique features and innovations, such as wool insulation, carbide gas lights, electric push buttons, and an enunciator servant call system, and it took six weeks to remove all the belongings from the house after her death.

32:08 The Winchester Mystery House has been a tourist attraction since Sarah Winchester's death, and it was sold to investors for $135,000 despite her spending $5.5 million on it.
