This token was purchased at the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, CA on March 24, 2012. It is a replacement for the original geocoin which went missing almost immediately upon its release in 2008.
The Winchester Mystery House is a well-known mansion in Northern California which was the personal residence of Sarah Winchester. It was continuously under construction for 38 years and is reported to be haunted. Under Winchester's guidance, its construction proceeded around the clock, without interruption, from 1884 until her death on September 5, 1922. The Queen Anne Style Victorian mansion is renowned for its size and utter lack of any master building plan. According to popular belief, Winchester thought the house was haunted by the ghosts of the people who fell victim to Winchester rifles, and that only continuous construction would appease them. Many of the stained glass windows were created by the Tiffany company including the renowned "spider web" window shown below. This piece features her favorite shape, the spider's web, and features repetition of the number 13, which was one of her preoccupations.
