OH I LOVE TE WINCHESTER HOUSE.
I've been a few times. That place is creeeeeepy
Not really a lot of urban legends in SoCal…. although there's this query down by our high school where supposedly a man lived that cannibalized teenagers he found having sex.
Oh wait hang on I googled and remembered some stories my Tio used to tell me about LA.
Okay so there was this dude on the east coast in the 1800s who made a new and innovative repeating rifle. It killed a lot of people. This guy (who’s last name was Winchester) had a son who married a woman named Sarah. The man died and left his company to his son. Meanwhile, the son and the woman had a baby. The baby died at just a few months old and the son died a few months later due to tuberculosis, just a year after his father. The woman, Sarah Winchester, was now left with a huge, successful company, and a lot of grief. She consulted many mediums about her husband and her daughter’s death. One medium told her that evil spirits had killed her husband and daughter as retribution for all the lives that the rifles had taken. She advised Sarah to move west and build a house, and never stop building. As long as she did not stop building, she would be safe.
I’ve visited the house. It’s pretty cool and pretty weird. It’s all twisty with weird architecture and it’s said it was built that way to confuse the evil spirits. The hallways are really narrow and twisting. There’s a staircase that goes straight into the ceiling, there’s multiple doors that open to a brick wall, there’s a door on the second story that opens straight into the garden and bushes below. There’s a small room with three doors in it. This was the room where Sarah was rumored to communicate with the friendly spirits about the building of the house. Sarah was the only one with a key to all the rooms. One of the doors drops two floors to the kitchen floor below, and the other one doesn’t open again from the inside.
One section of the house caught on fire during the San Francisco earthquake of 1889. Sarah didn’t keep building there, because according to rumor she believed this was the spirits telling her she was spending too much time on building that section of the house.
Sarah Winchester died in 1922 in her bedroom and building stopped.
People have reported hearing screws being unscrewed from walls and falling on the floor, feeling cold drafts, feeling cold spots on the house, and seeing the old gardener pushing a wheelbarrow in the basement.
Creepy. I've been in a house that was actually haunted. But I didn't find out till after.
The Hotel Cecil one is honestly one of my favorite myth/Urban Legends
Also, I can't believe I spaced my most obvious one.
Bigfoot.
Did anything creeptastic happen to you?
Another fun fact about Hotel Cecil is that it was the inspiration for American Horror Story: Hotel.
Nothing. But my brother stayed awake nearly all night and I stayed with him.
No we did not sleep in the house.
Yeah the Winchester house was really pretty. It had all these beautiful plants inside and the grounds were gorgeous.
Why are creepy places so pretty?
They're usually old is my best guess

Sorry, I'm really late, but that sounds familiar. I didn't know what it was called though… Neat-o
They're usually old is my best guess
