"The Winchester House was built by Sarah Winchester, the wife of the heir to the Winchester Repeating Rifle fortune. She was obsessed with the spirit world, and believed that the spirits of those killed by the Winchester rifles had taken the life of her husband and their child. She therefore did everything that she could to try and appease the spirits, lest they harm her. She started building the mansion; work continued uninterrupted for 38 years - 24/7 The house turned into a mass of staircases that went nowhere, windows in strange places, doors that opened to walls or outsides... and much more. It has been said that Sarah did the construction in this twisted manner so as to confuse the spirits, or to make the house so confusing the spirits would never be able to find her. She lived to be very old." the house has 160 rooms, something like 13 bathrooms, 7 kitchens, 2 ball rooms... when sarah was still alive she didnt have a single visitor. crazy trip. wouldnt want to play hide and seek there though.
