Winchester Mystery House




These stairs went right to the ceiling. And while taking a tour of the house, there were a lot of rooms and parts of the house that weren't finished. The tour guide also said that she was constantly remodeling that they didn't know if some things were original in the house. She also never destroyed anything, she just built over it.
On our way down to San Diego, we stayed at Jesse's aunt house and she lives in San Jose. While we were there we went and toured the Winchester Mystery House. The lady that built this house was crazy. Her husband invented the Winchester rifle and he passed away and then she felt haunted by those who were killed by the rifles. So in order for her to feel peace she built onto her mansion 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for 38 years, in hope to keep the spirits at bay. She built stairs that went to the ceiling, doors to no where and windows on the floor.
