The Winchester family story is an interesting one. One filled with death, insanity, and even ghosts. It all wraps up into the form of a house, the Winchester House. Some believe the house to be haunted, and be the product of a womans insanity.
The story of the Winchester House really began in 1857 when the son of Oliver Winchester, William Wirt Winchester, took over the assets of a firm which made the Volcanic Repeater, a rifle that used a lever mechanism to load bullets into the breach.
