Sarah Winchester was known for a having a series of bad luck since there were numerous bizarre deaths within her family. According to Smithsonian magazine, Winchester visited a spiritualist in the mid-1800s, when plenty of sane Americans believed they could communicate with the dead, Winchester became terrified that her misfortunes, especially the death of her husband and one-month-old daughter, were cosmic retribution from all the spirits killed by Winchester rifles.
