Dive into the intriguing world of the Winchester Mystery House with paranormal enthusiast and published author Julie Elizabeth Boyd in her presentation "Facts vs Fable: The Winchester Mystery House." The house being the highlight of the story, this episode spotlights the real Sarah Winchester—her staggering fortune from the Winchester rifle empire, valued at $20 million in 1881 (equivalent to half a billion today)—and a thoughtful examination of her health and mental wellbeing amid life's hardships.

Julie separates fact from fiction, revealing Sarah as a savvy, philanthropic widow who built her sprawling San Jose mansion not to outrun ghosts, but as a creative outlet and economic boon during tough times. Explore how the 1906 earthquake left lasting "mysteries" like stairs to nowhere, and hear about her close family bonds that counter tales of isolation. Perfect for fans of history, Victorian architecture, and myth-busting narratives.
