A video trilogy shown at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 2005 focusing on the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose - a 160-room mansion with mazes of hallways and dead-end staircases built by Sarah Winchester (widowed heiress to the Winchester rifle fortune), in an attempt to protect herself from the ghosts of gunshot victims whom she believed would haunt her.
