The Creepy (and Inexplicable) Details About the Real Winchester Mystery House

With the introduction of the first all-new tour in decades, Winchester Mystery House also brought back the old guestbook tradition. Once again, visitors can log their visit, just as people did when tours first started in 1923. Not sure if Harry Houdini signed in when he came to the house after her death to try and disprove that the house was haunted and that this was a case of spiritualism run amok. (The management claims he failed.)

The site also features a historic firearms museum, an arcade shooting gallery like the one at Disneyland, a products display from the era after World War I when demand for guns was down and Winchester became a popular mail-order catalog, a gift shop, and a cafe.
