But the Winchester Mystery House is just not that. You have to stop and tell yourself to just be in the moment and take it all in.

It's mesmerizing and you have to be in the moment it's so overwhelming. As is the Lincoln home in Springfield, Illinois. So much is as it was when the family lived there! So you are looking at the things they touched, chairs they sat in.it's amazing. For example, Hearst Castle is that kind of a tour. It isn't ominous at all - which I am fine with, but it's just not an interesting tour. There is no feeling of ghosts (I never thought so) of people killed by Winchester guns. Tour guide: this is NOT the bed she slept in, this is NOT the clock that was ticking when she lived here.!! So, big disappointment. The tickets were ridiculously expensive, and the only sort of interesting things about the house, you can see online (there is ONE door leading to 'nowhere'), and NONE of the furniture and fixtures are original to the house.

I grew up reading the road signs advertising the tour. The movie ‘Winchester’ opens in theaters this weekend, and it’s based on the real life of heiress Sarah Winchester, who build a real, extravagant spirit resting place in San Jose, California. On an isolated stretch of land 50 miles outside of San Francisco sits the most haunted house in the world. This is awesome! I've always wanted to visit there.My family visited the house - toured it - and it was a complete 'rip off' for lack of a better phrase. Winchester on DVD starring Helen Mirren, Jason Clarke, Sarah Snook, Angus Sampson. Known as the 'house built for the spirits,' there have been many inexplicable ghost sightings and to this day, visitors share their terrifying stories of having been in the presence of these departed souls who continue to roam the grounds of the intricate and enigmatic house.

For the next 38 years, she never stopped building believing that if she continued, she would live forever, and if she stopped, she would die. Popular belief holds that Sarah Winchester, heiress to the Winchester Rifle fortune, was convinced she was haunted by the spirits of those killed by 'the gun that won the west.' Following a Medium’s advice, Sarah built a massive house in Northern California to appease the spirits. The Winchester Mystery House has a startling history and attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists annually. Now, with a film shot in and around the House, Sarah's spirit will be brought back to life, and the audience will see first-hand this stunning and bizarre house,' said Brett Tomberlin, President, Imagination Design Works. For many years, the mystique and history of this unique venue, and its owner Sarah Winchester, could be experienced only by those visiting the site.

'We are extremely excited to be partnering with Exclusive Media to bring the story of the Winchester Mystery House to a global audience. More than just a name, WINCHESTER is a formidable placeholder in time. In 1873 Winchester introduced the Model 1873 that used. 'We are also thrilled, and terrified, that the House has allowed us to film on the premises.' In 1866 Oliver Winchester reorganized the company as the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, and had the basic design of the Henry rifle completely modified and improved to become the first Winchester rifle, the Model 1866. The story behind how it was built has attracted a great deal of attention over the years and we are excited to bring that mythology to film,' said Tobin Armbrust.
