The Winchester Mystery House, a 160 room Victorian mansion, is also known as the house built by spirits. Construction began on this architectural wonder in 1884, and didn’t end until Sarah Winchester’s death in 1922. The house was under construction constantly during that time period. It was believed that only through continuous construction, would the spirits of the dead victims who died by violence at the hands of the Winchester Rifle, be able to rest. The house today offers public tours all year long. If haunted houses are your thing, I highly recommend you take a tour of this beautiful old Victorian house. You are sure to learn a lot of history in the process! The house is located in San Jose, California.
