    Winchester Mystery House

    I was in San Jose last weekend for work. But I also found time so sightsee. I went to the Winchester House. It was quite interesting. Anyone else here ever been?

    I also went to the 'Mystery Spot' in Santa Cruz.

    I've been there many moons ago, fascinating and disturbing all at the same time. One of a kind experience to be sure. Working in the mental health field, I would have loved to interview the guy...

    I need a road to trip to the bay area meself...love that town.

    BJJ-Blue - Fremont is so close

    Are you still in town? We're in the wake of the USAWKF Team Trials so there's still a few VIPs coming through, but if you're around, I'd love to meet you face-to-face.

    I've grown up in the area and so I've been to the Winchester Mystery House many times. I've even had a few friends who used to work as tour guides. Haven't been there in a while, but I have many fond memories of the place. I've been to the Mystery Spot too, but not in a long time.

    No. I actually left Sunday morning.

    I have family in Monterey, and we love visiting there. Next time we are out there, I will shoot you a PM. We also always drive, so I'll have my own car so we can meet halfway or we can come to Fremont.

    The Mystery Spot was cool. Had I been able to do a handstand, that would have been the place to do it!

    Next time then, BJJ-Blue

    We are open on the weekdays. I extend an open invitation to anyone here on the forum to come by our office and I will be glad to give a personal tour of our facility. Just be sure to make an appointment because we can get really busy sometimes, like right now.

    P.S. If you like the Mystery Spot, check out Confusion Hill in Humboldt.

    I've been to the Winchester Mystery House, but a long time ago...as a kid back in 1977. Quite a bizarre and interesting place.

    Maybe a free issue, if you're nice
