Back in the early '60s, a group of WED Imagineers traved north to San Jose to visit Sarah Winchester's Mansion, commonly known as the "Mystery House," as research for the still-in-development Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. In today's edition of the Santa Maria Times, Julia McHugh takes readers on a quick tour of the San Jose attraction:
"I watch my 8-year-old daughter’s eyes grow large as Mr. Chapels talks about Mrs. Winchester’s eccentricities: how she became a recluse, refused to be photographed and kept a black veil over her face at all times.
"'She lived here alone and consulted no architects,' he says, 'simply constantly built, tore down, and rebuilt until her house towered seven stories high.'
"My 13-year-old leans over. 'Demented,' she says with a grin. I smile, but I’m nervous to be here. I take her hand..."
Read the entire article here.
RIP.

Oh yea. I know all about the Winchester House. I'd be afraid to visit there. I'd be afraid I'd be walking down a corridor and run right into a brick wall or something.
lol

I love the Winchester House. I visited there years ago with my parents. I can't wait to take my own kids there.

I love going to visit that house. Every time I'm in there I want to go down to the Haunted Mansion.

to think that my favorite attraction was inspired by the Winchester Mystery House is wonderful. I've only been on a tour once but i know so much about it. growing up in the bay area and now living here in San Jose we go by it all the time. my husband won't go near it "cause it gives him a creepy feeling" but i love it. I've always wanted to go on a behind the scenes or a flashlight tour.........nice article though it doesn't tell much about the mansion.

I've been there many times.
It is one of the most disturbing places on the planet!
