4, 22, 31, 58, 85, 67, 76, 49, 94, 121, 112, 211, or 1111, etc. After William's death in 1881, Sarah inherited roughly $20 million (over $500 million in 2019 dollars) as well as fifty percent of the Winchester Arms company which left her with a continued income equal to $1,000 a day (or $26,000 a day in 2019 dollars). The Winchester Mystery House was built by Sarah Winchester, who had married Winchester Repeating Arms Company heir William Wirt Winchester in 1862. William Wirt Winchester was the second president of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company from 1880 to 1881. Thus, she has one (Tubal-Cain) number 3 displayed in the right border of the windows, and a second (reversed) number 3 shown in the left bordersrendering the number 33 with the fleur- de-lis pattern occupying the middle portion of each window. 45), corresponds to the name Shakespeare. And, if someone were to try to describe cubes, spheres and pyramids to us, we would tell them they were crazy. Again, we should not be surprised that Sarah introduces us to her puzzle by demonstrating her view of her relationship to Bacon. There are a few different versions of what happened next, but according to Destination America, the widely accepted one is that Winchester was plagued with grief over her lost family and was also haunted by the deaths their Winchester rifles had caused over the years. The room was a perfect time capsule, furnished with an organ, couch, dress forms, sewing machine, and paintings. Young Sarahs most distinguishing characteristic was that she was everything but ordinary. It is a name from the Old Testament, Tubal-Cain.. Another remarkable symmetry occurs by simply multiplying: 11 x 777 = 8,547, then, 8,547 x 13 = 111111. Courtesy of the Whitney Library, New Haven, CT. Another important function of the crescent hedge is to emphasize the moons relationship to the number 13. Her work was sponsored by the author Nathaniel Hawthorne and was later supported by the likes of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Mark Twain. M.C. The 1906 earthquake reduced the House to 4 stories. Decades later, no one knows what went on in that room for two hours every night. After her death, the staff took the key and opened the door. She is believed to have been the first builder to use of wool insulation. In another part of the House, a second story door opens outward to a sheer drop to the ground below. Thus, the Theory of Everything had (in the Baconian sense) become a quest for a Grand Unified Theory of all the forces of nature. Astonishingly, the, continuation of this line crosses precisely at the location of the Great Pyramid at, Giza, which had not yet been constructed at the time of the completion of. And, many of the species of the daisy flower can be found flourishing in the extensive gardens about the House. In addition to being in concert with such ideas as the ever building universe, and the dynamic agriculture of the famous Rosicrucian Theosophist, mathematician and philosopher Rudolph Steiner (1861-1925), it seems clear that Sarah adopted his concept of the cube as the simplest geometric structure for the higher dimensional dynamics of the universe. No one's sure, but everyone has a story. Moreover, she has employed a brilliant device in the Shakespearean Windows to drive home the connection between Shakespeare, Hiram Abiff, Francis Bacon and herself. He was the brother of Anna Rebecca and Hannah Jane Winchester. An English mathematician by the name of Charles Dodgson, writing under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, wrote a childrens book that described the mind boggling properties one would encounter in a forth spatial dimension. From its inception, Yale (and New Haven) was a hub of progressive, Freemasonic-Rosicrucian thinking and activity. The report includes medical statistics include medical and surgical cases from July 1, 1944 through June 30, 1945, lists of operations, number of births, and causes of death. William was the son of Oliver Fisher Winchester who was Lieutenant Governor of Connecticut and manufacturer of the famous Winchester rifle. Washington History One of Francis Bacons many achievements in the field of encryption are his various cipher techniques. After passing through the pillars the initiate then symbolically ascends a Winding Staircase leading into the Temple. What Thompson was describing (nearly one and a half centuries ago) was, essentially, the mechanics of what is now called String Theory. The fundamental problem with the Vortex Atom (as we now know) is that, theoretically, it functions as a blob. In order to be self-consistent, the blob would have to resonate at the speed of lightwhich we now know is an impossible feat for a blob-like structure to perform. For example, it is certain that Sarah regarded 52 as the code number representing the name Winchester as evidenced by the 52 skylights in her Houseand the fact that her earthly remains, along with those of William and Annie are interred in plot number 52 of New Havens Evergreen Cemetery. For example, we recall that Sarah displays the number 49 (7 squared), along with the number 777 in her bedroom ceiling. He sold the House to the people who, in 1933, preserved it as a living museumtoday, it is known as the Winchester Mystery House also known as California Historical Landmark #868. Bacons dream of unlocking all of natures secrets requires our understanding of the dynamics of higher dimensional mathematics. Coons further instructed Sarah that the angry spirits demanded that she move to California and build them a house. However, none of the symmetries can exist without the unifying power of the circle at the webs center. We recall that Bacons super word from Loves Labours Lost, honorificabilitudinitatibus, consists of 27 letters. From shortly after her husband died in 1881 until her own death in 1922, rifle heiress Sarah Winchester lived alone. Please enable JavaScript in your browser's settings to use this part of Geni.

Rudolph Steiner, Rosicrucian Wisdom An Introduction, published by Rudolph Steiner Press, East Sussex, UK., 2000. Sharon Springs, Schoharie County, New York 13459 . Escher wrote: The spherical world cannot exist without the emptiness around it, not only, because inside presumes outside but also because in the nothing lie the, strict, geometrically determined, immaterial middle points of arcsThere is, something in such laws that takes the breath away. But there's surreal beauty there, too. Along with Sarahs inclusion of one of Bacons code devises called stops (i.e. The gate to heaven would truly be the most splendid of all. There are more stories about the Winchester Mystery House than there are rooms, and it's easy to see why. Here, Sarah has ingeniously incorporated her spider-web design into the architecture as a calculating device functioning both as an instructional tool that shows how her algorithm works, and as a model revealing the fundamental, symmetric structure of the universe. Has the wait been worthwhile? Going back to the windows we now have the answer to our original question. Yet, everything in the pattern leads to the circleand, everything emanates from it. Naturally, Sarah is making use the latter form. Moreover, two numbers are always multiplied by each other, leaving a product that is then partitioned, and the partitioned numbers are then added together resulting in a sum. Moreover, upside-down pillars can be found all about the House. Sarah uses the 11, 11, 11 cube for several reasons. Johnston, Masonry Defined A Liberal Masonic Education, published by NATIONAL MASONIC PRESS, Inc., Shreveport, Louisiana, 1930. These are good people who mean wellbut this is hardly the legacy Sarah wanted to leave to posterity. Entering the Ballroom, we notice a beautiful parquet floor with light and dark squares bearing a striking resemblance to the checkered mosaic floors of Masonic lodge rooms. Also, we recall that four 13s add up to the number 52 ( Winchester). Whenever I make mention of Sarah Winchester the typical response I get from people is Oh yeahwasnt she the crazy lady who built that weird house because she was afraid the spirits would kill her? Many of these people have never been to the Winchester House. Like Bacon, Sarah uses encryption code to guide us to higher levels of insight. . From the beginning of civilization, the geometric value of Phi (and the number 13 in particular) has been used as the basis for all great architectural endeavors. In addition to her writing, Delia Bacon gave numerous public lectures to the citizens of New Haven; thus, New Haven, Connecticut was the actual birthplace of the Bacon is Shakespeare doctrine. At the outset of each Masonic Degree the initiate (Candidate) expresses his wish to receive Light. Her closest companion and nurse of many years, Henrietta Severs, firmly denied that Mrs. Winchester had any spiritualist leanings. Each step is just under 2 inches in height. This legend was further exaggerated by John and Mayme Brown, theme park developers, who bought the property with the intention of turning it into an attraction. She also slept in a different room every night as an extra measure to throw the spirits off her trail. Sarah, however, wasn't obsessed with building due to fear of being haunted; in fact, most of the anomalies in the house were due to quick repairs made after the 1906 earthquake destroyed much of the house.[3]. He was buried in Evergreen Cemetery in New Haven. At a glance, it's a labyrinth of dead-end hallways, rooms with false doors, staircases to nowhere, and no rhyme or reason whatsoever. It should also be noted that Solomons Temple had a magnificent Great Golden Window that faced north. There is a staircase that leads nowhere, abruptly halting at the ceiling. Another important aspect of the 7/11 staircase is that it forms a large Letter Y, which symbolizes the fork in the road. The initiate must make a choice between traveling the easier left path or climb the more difficult right path. Naturally, when the number 7, or any variant of that number is multiplied by 777, the result (through the Winchester algorithm) will always be 444. According to the statement reported by ABC News, it was an attic room Winchester had boarded up after the 1906 earthquake. This is important because it mimics the Masonic concept of the Canopy of Heaven or Heavenly Arch which is widely featured as part of the dcor in Masonic Lodge-rooms. The co-discoverer of String Theory, Dr. Michio Kaku, says Its as though there is some kind of deep numerology being manifested in these functions that no one understands. Appropriately, theoretical physicists like to describe the String (or Membrane) as a resonating subatomic matrix of entangled lattices forming the structure of the universe in a unified configuration resembling a vast, spider-web. Moreover, Williams full name amounts to 21 letters. Clearly, Sarah was aware of Bacons placement of the name Winchester as the 20th word from the plays end. Sarahs insertion of daisies in the center of the two Sun symbols on the front, wrought iron gates are important because the daisy represents the two essential qualities of the initiate: Innocence and Fidelity. The Winchester Mystery House, The Winchester Mystery House published by the Winchester Mystery House, San Jose, California, 1997. Notice that 52 x 88 is really a variant of 7 x 7because 52 and 88 both simplify to the number 7. As we have seen, Bacon infused coded cipher messages in all of his works, including the Shakespearean plays and sonnets, and his translated work known as the King James Bible. Also, when we take a closer look at the words UNCLASP and TABLES, we realize that in Bacons time the only things to be unclasped were bookssecret booksbooks containing Encryption Codes with an Encryption Table to decipher such codes. Most of the place just doesn't make sense. See advertisement. Sarah Winchester was fully aware of Riemannian geometry when she incorporated higher dimensional properties into the architecture of her amazing puzzle. Sarah and William had a child Annie Pardee Winchester. If so, how would she have conveyed such a message? On this day the construction of the house stopped altogether. 11, and 77. If warps in space were the cause of natural forces such as electromagnetism and gravity, the structure of space had to conform to a higher dimensional curvature. This seems nuts, unless you know Winchester was suffering from chronic arthritis at the time they were built. In 1989 the publications shifted from the hardback Records of the Columbia Historic Society to a magazine format Washington History. However, she has ingeniously raised the bar by including 13 sub panels with each of the 9 main panels. Moreover, when she included her middle initial (L), the numbers in Sarahs name then added up to 54 which, when reversed (i.e. Today, the house is open to the public every day except Christmas Day. Since her death, the sprawling Winchester Mystery House has become a popular tourist attraction, known for its staircases that lead to nowhere, along with its many winding corridors and doors that lead to walls or sudden drops. To further elaborate on this point, authors Jea Yu and Russell Lockhart tell us: In the Fibonacci series, it is at the eighth ordinal point that the ratio between. Moreover, the name Winchester appears precisely 27 times in the Shakespearean works. 2010 DC History Center The daisy was special to Sarah for two essential reasons. It is interesting that Wikipedia makes particular note of Enoch Pardee having been a prominent occultist. Most likely the occult reference has to do with the fact that both Enoch and his son George were members of the highly secretive and mysterious ( California based) Bohemian Club which was an offshoot of Yales Skull and Bones Society. One of the rooms is a ballroom, and in the middle of the room stands a door. He was buried in Evergreen Cemetery in New Haven. Later, when the English Alphabet expanded to twenty six letters, the Pythagorean (1 through 9) Table became the paradigm used by modern numerologists. The house had been open for tours for around 90 years at that point, so pretty unlikely. Some of the doors look absurdly tiny, but Winchester was only 4' 10", and servants can duck. Since she clearly regarded her House as a living puzzle and a work of architectural art, we are compelled to examine the environment that influenced her views and her work. 52 x 88). And, second, it is, unquestionably, one of natures finest examples of the hidden unifying symmetry of the number 13. Because the number 16 simplifies to 7, we may view these three concentric rings as 777 (instead of 16 16 16). William Winchester was William Philo Hibbard's 6th cousin once removed. They welcomed a daughter, their only child, four years later; sadly, she only lived six weeks. The New Haven Register, dated 1886, lists Sarah as having been removed to Europe. No other information has survived to tell us exactly where Mrs. Winchester went during those years or what her activities consisted of. This is precisely the effect Sarah wanted the inscriptions to have on us. a. News of Mrs. Winchesters death (September 5, 1922) found her workers halting constructionleaving nails half driven into the walls. The House was lit with carbide gas lights that were supplied by its own gas manufacturing plant. Legacy [ edit] William took over the company in 1880 but died from tuberculosis the next year. The answer is that without higher dimensional mathematics, such as the mathematical innovations of William Rowan Hamilton or Sophus Lie, many of the technologies we take for granted from computers, cell phones, to landing robotic space craft on Mars, etc., wouldnt be possible. Why?) is a matter of connecting the dots and properly assembling the pieces of the puzzle Sarah has generously left behind. Nor is there any evidence to support the idea that she was a spiritualist or had any inclination to believe in communication with the deceased. Lets take it still higher by multiplying 12 by 7 squared (49). The reason we know about Sarahs algorithm is because she incorporated an ingenious calculating device into the House that clearly demonstrates how higher dimensional math works. For personal and mathematical reasons, he elected to have that number represent his last name rather than the number 6. The fact that Sarahs puzzle still stands, preserved as she left it, is a testament to her intent that someone would eventually arrive to pick up her torch. In fact, the cube consists of six, inverse pyramids, all pointing inward toward its center. He reasoned that forces might be best explained in terms of warps in a higher dimension. It's thought most of the materials were reused elsewhere, but the tower itself was never rebuilt. Unquestionably, for many people, the folklore is entertainingbut it is a complete fabrication. Furthermore, two of Sarahs schoolmates Susan and Rebecca Bacon were the daughters of New Havens highly respected Reverend Dr. Leonard Woolsey Bacon (no relation to Francis Bacon). Notice that, in choosing to use these two particular lines, she is accomplishing several things on different and deeper levels. Escher, The World of M.C. To begin, it is undeniably a labyrinth. 1. . It is a virtual shrine to Bacon. According to io9's Annalee Newitz and her research for the California American Studies Association Annual Meeting, what's rarely mentioned in Winchester Mystery House history is that Winchester was only partial heir to the company. As we saw with the wrought iron gates in front of the House, Sarah displays two, eight petaled daisies. He called his invention Quaternions.. On July 15, 1866, Sarah gave birth to their only child, Annie Pardee Winchester, but the baby died six weeks later of marasmus. However these stops are shaped like small arrowheads pointing to the partitions above. Here, Sarah has ingeniously blended the symbolism of the Winding Staircase of the 2nd Masonic Degree with the symbolism of Jacobs Ladder. According to the Kabbalistic and Masonic traditions, Jacobs Ladder is a ramp that winds around 7 turns, ascending up into Heaven. This number or any other variant of 7 squared will always equate to the number 13 (or variants of 13), which then simplify to 4. Courtesy of the Winchester Mystery House. William Wirt Winchester was the treasurer of the Winchester Repeating Firearms Company until his untimely death in 1881. Inside, it's a different story. Moreover, Enoch and George were Knights Templar Freemasons. Thus, Sarah induces us to multiply 11 x 7. The two stained glass windows incorporate designs that were used by Francis Baconincluding his familiar winding banner. When Sarah first met William Wirt Winchester, she would have found his numbers to be nothing short of miraculous. Her inheritance included $20 million ($561.6million in 2021) as well as a 50% holding in the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, which made her one of the wealthiest women in the world at the time. He commanded the corps from October 1842 to August 1844. Tracing the story through letters, scrapbooks, and the journals of the workers who built the house, Ignoffo says there was another motivation behind the constant building: providing jobs. In this case, the variant of 49 is 4,576 (i.e. The same symmetries we find in Ramanujans work, culminating in the E (8) x E (8) symmetry, also seem to conform to the symmetries that rule over the Winchester model. During a sance with Coons, Sarah was told that because of the many people who had been slain by the Winchester Rifle, she was cursed by the Winchester fortune. For this reason, the Mayans and the Chinese had 13 month calendars. There are no existing records or any other form of factual information to establish Sarahs date of birtheven the year remains unknown. As earlier noted, the number 777 is extremely important to Kabbalists, Rosicrucians and Freemasons. For all Masonic initiates (Candidates), these are the first features they will pass through when entering the Lodge room. There are stairs to nowhere, chimneys that don't go all the way outside, balconies on the inside, rooms built inside rooms, and doors with nothing behind them. Note: DEATH: CAUSE tuberculosis William Wirt Winchester (1837 u 1881) was the second president of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company from 1880 to 1881. Four years into the marriage, Sarah bore a daughter named Annie Pardee Winchester. He was the son of Oliver Fisher Winchester and Jane Ellen Hope and was born in Boston. She left a will written in thirteen sections, which she signed thirteen times. This, of course, isnt the only instance in which Sarah has joined the numbers 4 and 7 together. Upon closer examination of the Windows, we notice that each has three partitions. Moreover, she also knew this would be the initiates first trial or moment of truth. So, we are compelled to either walk away, or stand back and take a truly hard look at the matter. But why bother looking beyond the superficial orthodox Folklore when its much more convenient to embrace the myth, and keep reciting the mantra well never know what Mrs. Winchesters thoughts and motives were. However, historians and archeologists would sharply disagree, particularly when the person of interest has deliberately gone to great lengths to leave a well designed trail of clues and artifacts to follow. Another crucial element Escher and Sarah Winchester shared was their understanding of the unifying nature of the mathematical symmetry which forms the basis for all higher dimensional structure. I knew that Sarah had concealed the number 13 in the middle, between the Shakespearean Windows, in a higher dimensional way. One of the strangest places in the house is the South Turret Witch's Cap, where guides claim Harry Houdini once held a seance. The Untold Truth Of The Winchester Mystery House. So, her middle name, Lockwood adds up to 25, which then simplifies to 7. According to popular lore, Sarah Winchester retreated to the room every night between midnight and 2 a.m., and no one else was allowed in. Sarah is exhorting us to rearrange the order of the partitions. It is prominently displayed at the top of a 13 step staircase. The evidence shows that Sarah made use of an algorithmic system in which her trio of symmetric prime numbers produce amazing results. Furthermore, Sarah infused the numbers 7 and 11 into the architecture because they are lucky numbers. This symbol should be partially recognizable to the Master Freemason, but something is missing. These staff-like branches with their distinct hooks are a direct allusion to Pans crooked staff that is also brandished (like Athenas spear) against the serpent of ignorance. But more importantly, at an early age, she was admitted to Yales only female scholastic institution known as the Young Ladies Collegiate Institute. Two of the schools most influential administrators and professors, Judson A. Root and his brother N.W. Also interesting, is the fact that President Theodore Roosevelt (another member of the Bohemian Club) came to California in 1903 to ask Governor Pardee to run as his Vice Presidential candidate in the 1904 national election. However, the four triangles are not complete unless their points merge, invisibly, into the circle. Her favorite niece and secretary, Marian Marriott, oversaw the removal and sale of all of Sarahs furnishings and personal property. Gradually, the Winchester patriarch amassed a considerable fortune. Updated: October 5, 2011 . However, both Richard and Sarah resolve to overcome their plight with the phrase: Yet, Ill hammert out. For Richard, this is meant figuratively, but for Sarah, the interpretation took on a more literal meaning. In the exact center of the House, we come upon the so called sance room. We remember that this, according to the folklore, is where Sarah supposedly conducted midnight sances for the purpose of receiving building instructions from the spirits.
