 It's no secret that the Winchester repeating
rifle was often used to kill people. In the late 19th and early
20th centuries, thousands of individuals found themselves on the
wrong end of the legendary firearm. Now the ghosts of the dearly
departed have begun to haunt the heiress to the Winchester fortune.
Newly-widowed Sarah Winchester is spooked. Her dreams are filled
with images of gunshot victims seeking vengance. The spirits moan,
wail, and ask "why?". To make things right, a psychic has advised
the widow to build a summer cottage in Riverside. Furthermore, the
instructions from the "great beyond" are to keep building, 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week. With all that construction going on, there's
bound to be some rather unusual features.
The entrance to the cottage is nearby.
The cache is not at the posted coordinates. In order to find it,
you'll need to complete a Wherigo cartridge of the same name. Click
here to go to the cartridge page on the
Wherigo.com site. Be sure to bring a GPS unit with you (and not
just a PocketPC/Bluetooth combo) when you go. Have fun, but watch
your step as you explore the Winchester
Mystery Cottage.
"A house is never still in darkness to those who listen intently;
there is a whispering in distant chambers."--J.M. Barrie

I was looking forward to my very first WIG icon but couldn't find the physical cache. The game was quite fun and I certainly appreicate all that went into putting it together. Now, if we could have just found that blasted final.....

I'm sure we were looking in the right area as I was at the event and saw a lot of people logging the cache then!! There has been a lot of erosion on the cliff by the recent rains.

Completed the Wherigo, so at least I got to unlock it. But we couldn't find the cache at the end. We'll be back!
