#7 – The Winchester Mystery House

The Winchester Mystery House in Northern California covers six acres of land and was built by the later gun heiress Sarah Winchester. After her family died, Winchester visited a medium who told her that her family and fortune were cursed by the victims of Winchester gun rifles, and the only way to keep these spirits away was to constantly build a house for them. Sarah continued to build the 160-room house for 38 years, filling it with dead end, staircases that lead to the ceiling and other twists and turns to confuse the spirits.
