What now? This series will be checked again in the next day. If you believe it should be working, please verify the publisher's feed link below is valid and includes actual episode links. You can contact support to request the feed be immediately fetched.

The Winchester house as it appears today. The large shrub on the left hides a space where a chimney was not replaced. The Brown Family, who purchased the home, changed the exterior colors. Under Mrs. Winchester, the colors were hunter green, deep purple and gray.

We all think we know the story of Sarah Winchester. Folklore states that the heiress of the Winchester fortune was told by a psychic to go west and build a house for the spirits of everyone who had ever been killed by a Winchester rifle. In truth, Sarah probably had something in common with the modern Pintrest mom with an arts and crafts hobby that got out of control. (You know, if that Pintrest mom had an unlimited budget and no one to tell her to stop).

Correction: In the podcast, I stated that Winchester made an income of around $26,000 monthly in today’s dollars. The correct figure should have been stated as around $26,000 daily.
