Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California is one of the most haunted places in America. Winchester Mystery House is a [an] incredibly unique Victorian mansion created by Sarah Winchester, heiress to the Winchester Repeating Arms fortune. Sarah Winchester had a series of unfortunate things happen to her, including the death of her husband and daughter. She was a spiritualist and visited a medium to try and understand why. The medium said, well, the gun that won the West, there's a lot of karma there, so head west and build a house to appease these spirits. She started construction in 1884, which didn't stop till the day she died. The house is a 160-room Victorian mansion with no master plan. There's a lot of strange attributes. There's 40 staircases, 40 fireplaces, four elevators. We have a number of staircases that lead right to the ceiling. Doors that open up into nothing, or it's just a wall. The house is known for its spirits, who many people believe are the ghosts of people who worked at the house or even Sarah herself. A lot of our guests and employees have had very strange things happen to them in this house. Sometimes it's just footsteps or hearing a voice, a light that flickers, or sometimes it's an actual full, physical manifestation. If we haven't solved the mysteries in 93 years, then I don't know if we ever will.
