The Winchester House
Hi Patty,
It’s great here in the USA. Tomorrow we’re going to visit a very old and scary house. It’s Sarah Winchester’s house and it’s got many ghosts! I hope that I hear or see a ghost!
Sarah Winchester lived more than a hundred years ago. She was very rich because her father sold many rifles in the 19th century.
But Sarah was scared. Many people died because of the rifles. She thought that the ghosts of those people wanted to kill her.
The Winchester house is unusual. It has got 148 rooms. There are special staircases. Some staircases don’t go anywhere and others are only 5 cm high! There are also doors that don’t go anywhere.
I’m going to find out more when I get there.
I can’t wait!
Write soon,
Jennifer
