When shopping for a haunted house, what do we look for? Charm? Elegance? State-of-the-art appliances? No. According to the trailer for "Winchester" - the latest listing on the market for possessed real estate - what we want are "Spirits! Souls! Demons! Ghosts! Entities! Apparitions! Shadows! Beings!
