Sarah Winchester's Mystery House was built on the fortune produced by "The Gun that Won the West." But is there any truth to the legend of the guilt-ridden widow and the house full of ghosts?
We talk about the role of the Winchester rifle in the Westward expansion of the United States, the competing explanations for the Winchester Mystery House and what this says about how we remember colonialism.
