Winchester Mystery House: Ghosts, Legends, and Hoaxes
The Winchester Mystery House, a sprawling 24,000-square-foot mansion in San Jose, California, is infamous for its bizarre architecture and ghostly legends, said to have been built by Sarah Winchester to evade vengeful spirits of those killed by the Winchester rifle.

Missing Heiress: The Disappearance of Juanita Nielsen
On July 4th, 1975, journalist and Sydney heiress Juanita Nielsen disappeared. Most assumed she was the victim of foul play. After all, for years she’d been fighting a land developer determined to turn her charming, low-income neighborhood into a bunch of high-rises. She was last seen inside a nightclub operated by the developer’s associate, and owned by Sydney crime boss Abe Saffron.
