Said to be haunted by the ghosts of those killed by her family's invention, Sarah Winchester reportedly constructed the house non-stop for 38 years to appease restless spirits. But how much of this tale is truth, and how much is myth? We explore the architectural oddities, paranormal claims, and psychological theories behind the infamous Winchester Mystery House. Was Sarah driven by grief, guilt, or something more supernatural? Join us as we unravel the truth behind one of America's most mysterious and haunted homes.Interested in learning more about when WTF releases new episodes, contests, and more?

VYS0048 | Chinese Sex Balloons - Vayse to Face with Edwina Quatermass-Palmer - Show Notes Making her podcasting debut, Hine and Buckley welcome the weird, wonderful and wonderfully weird Edwina Quatermass-Palmer to Vayse. Worker of a job so secret that Hine and Buckley actually know what she does, possessor of the coolest name available to the English speaking world and wearer of a genuinely gravity defying hairstyle, EQP is an original and brilliant thinker, a valuable and treasured member of the Vayse discord community, a musician and rambler on the path less travelled. The conversation moves from early paranormal experiences in the, frankly incredibly named, Christmas Room of the Jacobean house that she grew up in, to her discovery of Crowley, root work and her dabbling in Chaos Magick. One of the most fascinating and unusual facets of EQP is her life-long relationship with the Great God Pan, and she talks in detail about how he appears to her, how he communicates with her and what this has meant to her over the years. The free ranging discussion also touches on the nature of creativity, retro-causality, the art and influence of the late, great David Lynch, and the question on everyone's lips... is EQP CIA?... (Recorded 3 February 2025) Thanks to EQP for being so candid and open with us on her first podcast and thanks, as always goes to the great Keith, working to make sure that these podcasts make some semblance of sense, one show note at a time.

Show Notes Episode 467: Building A Mystery (House) Part 3 of Spooktacular 2024 This week Host Dave Bledsoe gets lost trying to find his way to the bathroom in a strange bar and blames “The Spirits” when he got caught pissing in the corner. (Again) On the show this week Spooktacular 2024 continues with the tale of a mansion in California that was haunted for business purposes, the Winchester Mystery House. Along the way we discover that Dave thinks antique dealers might be evil. (We are kind of on board with this one.) Then we dive right into America's favorite invention, guns that kill a lot of people without reloading! (God bless the USA!) We meet the man who made the Gun That Won the West! (By killing a lot of people living there already!) and his son, whose wife would move to California and build her dream home. (She was extremely rich, even in the 1880's real estate prices out there were insane!) Then we dive right into all the spooky things that were said to have taken place in this haunted Barbie Dream House, all of which were definitely not made up after she died to sell tickets to the house. (Except they totally were, sorry.) Our Sponsor this week is Goth Contractors, when you can't find your haunted house, build your haunted home.  We open the show promo material for the Winchester Mystery House and close with Kina Granis who is constructing her own inexplicability.

What if we got an episode of The Penguin and it had almost no Penguin in it and it  was still one of the best episodes of the show so far? This week's installment has Sofia's backstory and really heightens the so-called grounded show to a level that is thrilling and fun. Before that we have a little bit of news and Derek relays the story of his visit to the Winchester Mystery House. And when you get to the end of the episode... it's not the end! We ended up going on a couple of diversions just as we were trying to sign off. Heads up. If you don't want the news and spooky Mystery House action, jump to 21:35. We will return in a couple of days with the next episode of Agatha All Along!

We will take you on a tour of Haunted Houses from movies, TV, and the real world. What is it about an old spooky house that is falling apart, and making mysterious noises…and people died there that scares us so much? Maybe there's no rational explanation, but it sure is fun. There have been countless stories for generations that get our blood flowing and our heart racing fast.    But movies and TV aren't the only place you can get frightened of a casa. There are real life ones that you can visit to hear histories of horror such as the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado or the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California.   And of course the classic haunted houses in theme parks such as the Haunted Mansion in several Disney Parks and others across the globe.

Prepare to step into the labyrinthine world of the Winchester Mystery House, a sprawling mansion shrouded in enigma and steeped in the supernatural. Join us as we unravel the bizarre history of this architectural oddity and explore the countless paranormal encounters that have occurred within its endless halls and hidden passages. In this episode, we'll delve into the life of Sarah Winchester, the eccentric heiress who obsessively built and rebuilt this mansion for 38 years, driven by a fear of vengeful spirits. We'll uncover the tragic events that shaped her life and the strange beliefs that fueled her relentless construction. But the Winchester Mystery House's story doesn't end with Sarah's death. Brace yourself as we share firsthand accounts from visitors and staff who claim to have witnessed the supernatural within the house's twisting corridors and stairways to nowhere. Hear their bone-chilling tales of apparitions, disembodied voices, and unexplained phenomena that defy logic. We'll also examine the compelling evidence gathered by paranormal investigators, from eerie EVP recordings to unsettling photographs and videos. Could these be proof that the spirits of those killed by Winchester rifles still haunt the house, forever trapped in a maze of Sarah's making? Whether you're an architecture enthusiast, a ghost hunter, or simply fascinated by the unexplained, this episode will leave you questioning the boundaries between the living and the dead. Prepare to be captivated, disturbed, and ultimately left wondering: what secrets lie hidden within the Winchester Mystery House?

Ever heard of a house built solely to appease vengeful spirits? The Winchester Mystery House, a sprawling Victorian mansion, stands as a testament to the strange and eerie. Sarah Winchester, the widow of the Winchester rifle fortune heir, poured her wealth and time into its endless construction based on the advice of a medium. The medium claimed her family was cursed by the spirits of those killed by the Winchester rifle, and only constant building would keep them at bay. This mansion is a bizarre collection of architectural oddities. Staircases lead to ceilings, doors open into walls, and hallways twist and turn without purpose. Is it a maze to confuse spirits, or a monument to grief? People who have visited or worked at the Winchester Mystery House tell spine-tingling tales of its hauntings. From the ghost of Sarah Winchester herself to shadowy figures, unexplained noises, and ice-cold spots, this house is a hotbed of paranormal activity. Some believe it's the spirits of those killed by the Winchester Rifle, while others claim it's Sarah's grief and guilt, or even just residual energy from the decades of construction.

Today, I revisit an old episode and give it the proper treatment. I talk about haunted houses, Number 14 West 10th Street in NYC, and The Winchester Mystery House. Then, I tell one of my original stories. Sometimes, the things that haunt you are worse than a bump in the night. Slayin' It! with Juliet Landau

Who says it has to be Halloween to celebrate witches? It's 2024 and frankly, we could do with a few more powerful, spell-casting women around here. We're talking about our favorite witch romances, many of which (see what we did there) have nothing at all to do with spooky season! There are rumors of a new Practical Magic in the air, which (ope!) makes us extremely happy, and we're just trying to decide which (!!!) of these fabulous books to reread this week. We're going deep into romance history to talk about why witches are so compelling, why they're perfect for a light, frothy romance, and why magic in the hands of men doesn't hit the same way.We are the weirdos, Mister.If you wish you had six more days in a week of people talking about romance, may we suggest joining our Patreon? Aside from an additional episode every month you get access to our Discord, where 1000 other romance readers are talking about books they love (and many other things!) all the time. It's so fun! Learn more about the Patreon and go join those cool people who love romance as much as we do at patreon.com/fatedmates.Show NotesIf you liked the post-it note situation in The Fall Guy, or the low-tech pre-post it note version from Romancing the Stone, Aqua Notes may be for you. Today banter portion was very into “Great Lakes, Great Times.” If you would like to talk to Sarah about the Wisconsin fish boil from Top Chef, please take that up with her and leave Jen out of it. Or travel across Lake Michigan on the SS Badger ferry. (But you cannot drive across Texas in one day). The entry point for witches tends to the fun, silly ones: Bewitched and Hocus Pocus, but also because it's the realm of women, we love movies like Practical Magic, The Witches of Eastwick, and The Craft. Willow's arc on Buffy the Vampire Slayer goes from rom-com witch to strong witch to evil witch. Here's a critique of Yennefer's transformation in The Witcher.Emily Alexander and Heidi Rehwaldt host a Nora Roberts podcast called Romancing the Shelf, so check it out if you love La Nora!The Winchester Mystery House in California is pretty wild and worth going on a tour!Listen to Iris Johansen's Trailblazer episode.

Gather 'round, dear listeners, for we're about to delve into the curious and tragic tale of Sarah Winchester, the mastermind or was she the mad woman, behind the Winchester Mystery House. Picture this: a woman haunted by the ghosts of her past, quite literally. But let's rewind a bit, shall we? Sarah Winchester, born Sarah Lockwood Pardee on September 1839, in New Haven, Connecticut, was the daughter of Leonard Pardee and Sarah Burns. Growing up in a well-to-do family, Sarah received a quality education, uncommon for women of her time. She was known for her intelligence, grace, and beauty.

The heir to a fortune decides to build onto her modest home. And build some more. And build some more. And eventually build a structure full of mystery and fuel for rumors.

In this episode of the show, AJ and Tara discuss what we know so far about Roarke’s Mansion! There are a TON of rooms in this house, and how many and what kind of rooms can be a bit confusing. It’s a bit like the Winchester Mystery House. Is it going to be an endless construction project until the day Roarke dies? We may never know. Anyway… we chose to discuss a specific topic due to a recent conversation on our Facebook page. The discussion was about whether Roarke would build a Media Room similar to the one he saw in Roundtree’s house in “Celebrity in Death.” The discussion continued in the most recent book, “Random in Death.” Additionally, we debated whether Eve would even want a large media room. Interestingly, according to the Wiki page about Roarke’s Mansion, he already has a “Video Room” (mentioned in “Loyalty in Death”), a “Family Media Room,” a “Main Media Room” (mentioned in “Imitation in Death”), and a “Game Room” with several video screens. This is where Mavis and Nixie watched Mavis’ new video. We start out discussing exactly where it would be located, and how that area, which at the moment contains apartments and a parking garage, would suddenly become one property for one man. Our theory, as with a lot of things in this series, is: Urban Wars. There are several floors in this house, so using the Wiki as a guide, we go floor by floor and discuss all the rooms on each. One thing we learned, or just decided was cannon, is that practically every room has a hidden bar somewhere, and a terrace.
