Before we delve further please kind in mind that this is just for entertainment and it not a factor meant to be harmful to anyone in any way.
Sarah Winchester is a well known historical eccentric and wealthy woman. You'd probably best know her by the famous crazy house she built with whimsical rooms and doors that go nowhere. You might even know that there is a mystery surrounding why she decided to build her home like this. I strongly suggest looking up some videos and material about her and the house. It is an amazing feat of creation and exploration of the human mind.

Let us start drawing parallels between these two wonderful ladies. Their early lives are not well known as both have never deeply expanded upon them. They both came from families at were doing well for themselves. Sarah Lockwood Winchester was born September 5th, 1922 and "Bunny Meyer" was born August 3, 1985, so they both had late to early fall birthday's. Both ladies are petite, thin and shorter than the average. Each has a reputation as being beautiful with Sarah being called the "Belle of New Haven" and Bunny being heralded as a model and beauty guru. Both women fell in love with their partners having known them for years. Sarah reportedly knew her husband since childhood and Bunny knew her partner from at least high school.
In a sadder note, Sarah Winchester lost her only daughter in infancy and had no more children. Bunny has publicly declared that she has no desired to have children and does not want them but has never expanded upon the discussion. (Which more power to her! Women's reproductive choices are nobody's business but her own)
Both women ended up becoming wealthy on their own and in unique ways. Sarah had inherited her money after the tragic loss of her family. Her father in law had given her the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. The company that supplied on the West's most famous and popular gun. Bunny also had a tragedy where she lost her ability to sew in a terrible car crash and thus her dream of being a fashion designer. To cope she started making Youtube videos of various topics and growing a following.
It is assumed that both the tragedies helped form their eccentric behaviors and odd superstitions. Sarah Winchester was said to have built her house because she thought she was cursed and Bunny is said to collect so obsessively to save the past from dying or the memories being lost to time.
Sarah and Bunny Meyer are both avid and fervered believers in an afterlife and both of them pursued the idea by doing ghost hunts and other supernatural knowledge seeking. Bunny originally had made videos about her own paranormal experiences and trips to graveyards where she attempted to make friends with the possible ghosts that lived there. To this day she still attempts to explain her deep connections to the paranormal and her intuitive empath nature. Sarah Winchester built specific rooms inside her mansion dedicated to seances and attempts to connect with the dead. It is also reported that she had started building the wild mansion in the first place to confuse the spirits of those fallen by the Winchester rifle that had come to haunt her. Interestingly enough Bunny has also implied that she feels spirits come to seek her out to possibly connect with her and like Sarah Winchester has many rules to keep them away from her. One of which is not talking about the paranormal.
It's important to note here that like Sarah Winchester, Bunny often takes a special interest in setting up rooms in her house in a particular way or an in a very styled way. Bunny has been reported to say that she is building a Halloween vlog room, a 90's themed room and many other styles. She most often films in her "baby doll". Mrs. Winchester like Bunny took great interest in decoration or adornments of her house. Most noted in this fashion is her love of the stained glass windows sometimes made by the Tiffany Company who would make her custom pieces based on her current obsessions.
Obsessions, both women have them. Sarah, in particular, liked the number 13 and this theme is oft repeated in her home. Sarah preferred building in redwood but didn't like the look of it and covered it up and spider web motifs can be viewed to this day in the home. Bunny is similar in the fact she focuses on certain objects and styles such as particular patterns, themes, and style. The ladies have both been described as hoarders and fanatic collectors of objects and things. After Sarah had passed away it allegedly took six trucks working 8 hours a day for six weeks to remove all the furniture from the house. Bunny has alluded to her many storage units and bins filled with items and stuff that she would never part with.
Sarah was extremely private to the point that one photograph can be found of the interior of the house while she was alive. Bunny only recently started letting people see more of her home via vlog format where formerly she filmed in the exact same spot or outside or in her old "vlog car" to keep people from seeing her personal living space.
The details for both women are often murky. Some historians contest the evidence that Sarah built her house out of fear of the dead. There are other disputed 'fact's as well and they say that the marketing for the Sarah Winchester house obliterated who Sarah Winchester actually was! Bunny Meyer to this day is similarly reserved in correcting rumors or misinformation about herself or her partner.
