    S4 EP 21 - THE WINCHESTER MYSTERY HOUSE: LORE, FACTS, AND EXPERIENCES

    Hello friends,Today we are chatting about the lore, history, facts, and personal experiences of the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California. This is a fun chat about getting to know who the real Sarah Winchester was. As always, do your own research in order to come up with your own thoughts and opinions. ***Corrections from the episode***1. The "seance room" was a finished room, not unfinished. I was getting the rooms mixed up in my mind.2. The "Tiffany windows" are not from Tiffany's, rather they are from a competitor in San Francisco - Pacific American Decorative Company. Here we go spreading more rumors!

We are so ready for fall and we hope you are too! 🍂 Corn husk dolls and woven corn dollies are used in Celtic neo-pagan and Wiccan traditions to honor seasonal harvest festivals, fertility, and earth deities.
