The What Do We Know About? series explores the mysterious, the
unknown, and the unexplained. Why was Sarah Winchester's puzzling
mansion built with so many mysterious features? And is it truly
haunted?
In 1884, Sarah Winchester began building a large mansion in Santa Clara
County, California. Under Sarah's direction, the house rose to be seven
stories high and filled with mysterious features, including stairs that
lead to nowhere and windows that look into other interior rooms. The
house is more than just oddly designed, however: Many people believe
that it is haunted. What made the heiress to the Winchester rifle
fortune, an independent woman in many ways ahead of her time, create
such an unusual house? Is it really filled with ghosts and spirit
energy? Find out more in this nonfiction title about one of America's
most famously unexplainable and possibly haunted houses.
