The Winchester Mystery Mansion
Hey. I just listened to the Stuff You Should Know podcast about the Winchester mystery mansion and I kind of just wanted to talk about it. Anyone been there? Have any cool facts? Things like that. I just think it's a really cool and interesting place.
I went there as a kid. It's fascinating, as it breaks all of your expectations about how houses should be laid out. They do an "after dark" tour every Friday the 13'th and on Halloween, which sounds amusing, if not super scary.
I have not been nor am I really interested in such places other than for the history aspect, since I don't believe in the afterlife, ghosts, etc... but I have actually heard of the mansion, and weirdly enough actually remember when I first heard of it. Good Mythical Morning did an episode on "haunted houses" years and years ago and they covered the Winchester mansion. I doubt it's as in-depth as the podcast you mentioned but you might still get a kick out of watching it:
