This wonderful home was also where my grandfather was the live-in caretaker and manager of the Winchester House for thirty six years. No other family in the world can make this claim. I spent every summer of my young life there until I graduated from high school, and my grandfather retired and my uncle Jim became manager and he was the one who hired me to be a tour guide. Not just any tour guide,but the first third-generation tour guide to be of service to the house.
Beautifully done. Listen to that voice! That diction! That wonderful reading! Today? Great speaking voices are rare, fine diction is all but gone, and reading, even average, is a hit or miss affair. This high caliber is what we took for granted (though this is above even the high standard we knew). Who realized then, though we appreciated what we had, how truly lucky we were, because it's a hopeless task to find much of anything great today.
@@markchildrey9441 That voice is unmistakable. Then,as great as she was, as lovely a woman as she was, as historically relevant in the film industry as she was, the liberal lunatics went after her at Bowling Green State right after they pulled a similar stunt (also lunatic) with the great Kate Smith.
There's no mistaking that voice! As identifiable as Bette Davis' or Julie Harris'.As great as Lillian Gish was, as historically relevant to the film industry, as lovely a person as she was, liberal lunatics still went after her at Bowling Green State, shortly after doing the same to the great Kate Smith. This is a blatant example of today's cultural decline: not only is greatness not recognized, it is villified.
There's no mistaking that that voice is Lillian Gish's. Then, as great as she was, as historically relevant to the film industry, as lovely a person as she was, the lunatic liberals still went after her at Bowling Green U., after they went after the great Kate Smith for no viable reason.
This is a brilliant and tremendously under-rated documentary.

And I'll bet you never get bored with the job, either! Have you ever discovered anything new about the house?
@KenLieck
I left in 1974. No doubt there have been many new things discovered since then. It was a wonderful place to have grown up in.
Wonderfully done. Modern videography cannot compare to this.

Lillian Gish (the actress) was the narrator.
So true.

The Narration by Lillian Gish was simply perfection.
This Is really great!
Ok this is way scarier than any of the paranormal vids today.
How’s was this filmed like this back in the 60s
Do you mean it looks like drone shots were used? That would be cranes. You've seen how high and far cranes can reach, right?
