Winchester mansion

I haven't done one of these in a long while. Chiller you would be proud of me on this one man, signs all over the place saying "No Photography Permitted" I not only took the shots, but also did it with my full tripod setup.

Nice work! I've heard about this place. The crazy lady kept building until she had dozens and dozens of rooms! Color is amazing.

Thanks Linc, your "USU" shot inspired me for this one.

This is one wing of the Winchester mansion.
Sara Winchester (rifles) was pretty nuts when she built this place. There are stairs that go nowhere and doors without rooms, etc...

In this shot you can see the door on the side of the house that obviously has no use. She kept building on this place until the day she died. It’s rumored that she felt if she stopped building, that the souls of all of the dead Indians killed by her husband’s rifles would haunt her forever. Anyways that’s what they say on the tour.

I think I like the first. Lends to the natural crazy look of the place.

Gotta say that the colors on the first are the best to me. Nice background story too.

Yes you can, cost like 23 dollars, but it’s worth it once. It’s really crazy inside, but at the same time it’s really nice. The mansion has many secret passages and lots and lots of stairways of all kinds. It has narrow stairs, spiral, miniature and some them have no purpose at all that lead nowhere. It’s kind of like an amusement park in a way, but it’s a real house build by a really crazy lady that had a fortune of wealth to spend. It a great place to go on Halloween, they have night tours with candlelight’s, very spooky!
