Mrs Winchester's House

KPIX-TV documentary film from 1963 about the life and legend of heiress Sarah L. Winchester who financed and built what came to be known as the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose California between 1884-1922. The film is subtitled: 'A legend told by Miss Lillian Gish' and features extended point-of-view shots taken around the Winchester House as Gish narrates how Sarah buried her daughter and husband in New Haven Connecticut and then moved to San Jose in 1884 to begin remodeling what was then an 8 room house. Gish describes how the house eventually grew to accommodate over 150 rooms and reflects on Sarah's eccentricity and how it may have influenced local rumors that she was providing shelter for the ghosts of people killed by Winchester rifles (the family business). This documentary was written and produced by R.E. Pusey Jr and Ray Hubbard and directed by Dick Williams.
