If you don't know this story.....then you must go read about it HERE. We traveled to San Jose, CA on day #2 of Pfatt Fest to see this amazing house that was featured on Ghost Hunters and Most Haunted LIVE. It has also been featured on several shows about Haunted places here in the United States. It was very interesting and such a gorgeous place! The detail in the craftsmanship has to be seen to really be appreciated. I felt dizzy twice while we were in the seance room........not sure if it was the uneven floors or the fact that there were 20 some people in that one small room with the doors all shut. I'm not claustrophobic either.

Johanna, it's just so creep yet beautiful at the same time. To think about all the things that house had for it's time is simply amazing. The money that woman had back then.....yet she had to be a lonely woman. The title suits the house well.............The Winchester Mystery House, it's definitely that!
Let me know if you ever get a chance to go and visit it...ok?
