House of Winchesters – one of the most sinister houses in the USA

In the US state of California in the town of San Jose, there is one of the most sinister houses of the United States, and part-time Extravagant tourist attraction – Winchester House (Winchester Mystery House).

This house was purchased in 1884 by Sarah Winchester, the sow of the famous Oliver Winchester, the inventor of the Winchester rifle.

She acquired him on the advice of his medium, who reported that all the troubles fell on her – the death of her husband and the only daughter soon after birth, they were connected with the fact that their family is cursed by the rifles created by Oliver, her husband’s father.
