History
Background
In 1861, Abraham Lincoln became the president of the United States and abolished slavery. The south, largely reliant on slave labor, decided seced from the north, leading to the American Civil War. One of the things that lead the north to victory in 1865 was the lever action repeating rifles manufactured by the Winchester Company. Some of the people killed with those rifles, held on to their grudges into the afterlife turning into evil spirits who take vengence against the Winchester family.
In 1866, one year after the end of the Civil War and the year of the Model 1866 Winchester rifle, the spirits caused the death of Annie Pardee Winchester, a month old daughter of Sarah Winchester. In 1881, her husband William Wirt Winchester died to tuberculosis. Soon her parents died too. By killing her loved ones, the evil spirits had successfully instilled suicidal thoughts in Sarah. In 1883, she moved southeast of San Francisco and, following advice of a Fortune Teller, began the construction of the Winchester Mystery House, a labyrinthian mansion meant to protect her from evil spirits.
