Welcome to Gaia! ::

Recently, being the little freak that I am, I starting looking up paranormal stuff... Such as ghosts and spirits and stuff. I said I was a freak.

Anyways, during my many hours reading creepy stories and viewing strange pictures, I came across the story of the Winchester Mystery House. Not only was I interested in the story of the house, but I was thrilled to find that it was built in California. I've asked my mother to take me and my friends there on Halloween for a flashlight tour. xp

If you don't know about it, it's a massive building with all sorts of oddities in the construction; a staircase to the ceiling, a door that opens to a ten-foot drops, a door that leads to nowhere, and the fact that all of the bathrooms have a window in the door. Also, thirteen is all over the house. Thirteen window panes, thirteen drain holes in the sink, and stuff like that.

Official Website, Detailed story

No, I'm not just sharing this because I actually felt like posting... Well, kinda. But I wanted to have a small discussion, too.

I wanted to know if you've ever been to the Winchester Mystery House, and what you did if you have been. If you haven't, then please share similar experiences or stories of other places like that in California. 3nodding

I went there befor, I thought it was kinda creepy; doors that lead to nowhere, stairs that just droped those kinda things. But I went there like four maybe five years ago.

^___^ I've been there. We had the best tour guide... EVAR.

You know at the end where they tell you *all* the numbers of the house? How many miles we have walked, how many doors that lead to no-where, etc, etc biggrin He did a great job on that part @_@ very funny.

=) Guess what. My dad used to be a tour guide there, back in college! (So like, ages ago xD) I almost got a job there this summer, but I got my job at Quiznos instead. TWMH is really awesome, though; tons of fun, great exercise, and sometimes spooky eek

Let's all try forcing our Moms to take us there on Halloween. whee

If my friends come, they'll probably squeeze the circulation out of both of my arms. gonk heart

I've been there... Lots of times. sweatdrop
Girl scout flashlight tour, two birthday parties, a school trip, and like four times with friends/family. @_@;
