She believed that they instructed her to build a house for their spirits to reside in, so she comissioned a house built according to bizzare specifications received from beyond the grave.

'The winchester house' as it is called, still stands. It has bizzare, escheresque features, such as hallways that lead nowhere, doors that open to walls or empty space on the second or third story, rooms build sideways or upside down, and spiral staircases that lead up directly into ceilings.

Well, yeah...IIRC Sarah Winchester got into spiritualism after her husband & one (or more?) of the kids all died in quick sucession. One of the psychics she favored told her she was under a curse from the spirits of all of those killed by Winchester firearms, at that she would be next when the construction was completed on the house, hence the relentless building 24/7/365.

All of that still doesn't explain the connection to Argot Blackwell...:confused:
