[Ray nodded in agreement, and prepped himself to tell his tale.]
So, this is something I've never had the chance to personally verify. The Winchester Mystery House in California is considered to be one of the most haunted places in the world. It was constructed by a woman named Sarah Winchester.
Legend has it, after her husband William died and she inherited his fortune and controlling interest in his gun company, a medium channeling her husband told her to build a home to house all the spirits of those killed by Winchester rifles. Should construction ever cease on the building, she would die.
Whatever her reasons actually were, she did exactly that. The result was one of the most bizarre buildings in existence. 160 rooms, 2000 doors, 10000 windows. Doors open to walls, staircases go nowhere, windows overlook indoor areas. And it seems that, at least, the part about it being a home for all those killed by the Winchester rifle was true. Visitors have reported seeing ghosts from various times and cultures.
As for Sarah herself, she passed away in the house at the age of 81. Construction immediately stopped on that day.
