Winchester Mystery House

This spooky, kooky Victorian features secret passageways, stairs that lead to the ceiling, and doors that open onto walls. What was the point? To confuse evil ghosts and keep them away from the house’s owner, Sarah Winchester. She became convinced that spirits of people killed by Winchester rifles (her late husband was the treasurer of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company) were out to get her. Using her vast fortune, she had people work on the home continuously for 38 years. Take a tour, and try not to get lost.
