Episode description

Zach and Charles are back with another guest - comedian Maggie Lalley! - to cover our most bizarre and mysterious subject yet, Sarah Lockwood Winchester, wife of William Writ Winchester and heiress to the fortune made by the sale of the Winchester Repeating Rifle. A self-taught architect, Sarah bought an 8-room farmhouse once basically her entire family had died, and she transformed it into the bewildering, beautiful ~700 room mansion that stands today as the Winchester Mystery House. There's a lot of crock surrounding why she built it, and we clear that right up. 

Featuring: crackpot mediums, genetically-transmitted ghosts, door-to-door rollercoaster salesmen, Girl Yale, and more

If you're in NYC Dec 8th, go see Maggie's one woman musical show, Sex Witch that chronicles a hilarious tale of witchery and sexery.
