The most haunted house in the world sits on an isolated stretch of land that's 50 miles outside of San Francisco. Built by Sarah Winchester, heiress to the Winchester fortune, it stands seven stories tall and contains hundreds of rooms. Historically, despite there being no real reason for this many-roomed maze, we are lead to believe it is because Sarah is crazy and believes the ghosts of those murdered by the rifle that bears her name are attempting to exact revenge. The reason for the maze is to keep the angry spirits from finding her, or at least that's what we were always told. WINCHESTER actually twists the historical record and poses the idea that maybe Sarah wasn't so crazy after all, but she was actually a warden for errant ghosts and one just happens to actually want revenge. Add in a hired doctor with a substance abuse issue to question her sanity and you have a very interesting historical fiction something like 13 Ghosts.
Available now in theaters.
