Description

In 1886, following the death of her husband and child, Sarah Winchester purchased an unfinished farmhouse near San Francisco. She started building, and for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for 38 years, she didn't stop. The result, a massive, maze-like mansion, with staircases to nowhere and a dedicated séance room, is the Winchester Mystery House, reportedly one of the most haunted houses in America. Join acclaimed writer-performer Wendy Weiner as she explores the history behind the mystery, and much more, in this simultaneously poignant and lighthearted reflection on obsession, grief, and love.
