Winchester Mystery House
San Jose, CA
This historic and beautiful-but-bizarre 160-room Victorian mansion was once the home of Sarah L. Winchester, heiress to the Winchester Rifle fortune. Under construction 24-hours a day for 38 years, the mansion has many mysteries inside. There are doors and windows that open onto walls; doors that open to a 10 foot drop into the gardens; stairs which go nowhere; and employees and guests have reported sightings. It is believed that after the death of her husband and daughter, Mrs. Winchester was convinced by a medium that continuous building would appease the evil spirits of those killed by the Winchester rifle, and help her attain eternal life.

Bigfoot Museum
Willow Creek, CA
As "Bigfoot Capital of the World," Willow Creek is scant miles from the Bluff Creek drainage where Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin filmed the backwoods biped on October 20, 1967. The town is riddled with related photo op targets -- statues, businesses, and murals with the creatures at work and play. On the exhibit wall, frame 352 from the Patterson-Gimlin film is blown up to an artsy blur, and a miniature diorama shows the creature confidently bounding atop a rocky summit. An array of 30 plaster cast footprints sit under glass, along with newspaper clippings and photos. "Highlights in Bigfoot History" chronicles the creatures' emergence -- from 19th century newspaper reports of hairy goliaths, to the oldest known photo of a Bigfoot footprint (1947), and the first plaster cast footprint (1958), measuring 16-inches long.

The Mystery Spot

The Mystery Spot is a gravitational anomaly located in the redwood forests just outside of Santa Cruz, California. It is a circular area of effect around 150 feet or 46 meters in diameter. The Mystery Spot was discovered in 1939 by a group of surveyors and opened to the public in 1940. The Mystery Spot has amazed and perplexed hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world, and many return time and time again to experience these puzzling variations of gravity, perspective, and height.
