    Located in San Jose, California, the Winchester Mystery House is a world-famous 160-room Queen Anne Victorian mansion built by Sarah Pardee Winchester, widow of rifle magnate William Wirt Winchester. Following the death of her husband and child, Sarah engaged in 24/7 continuous construction for 38 years (1884–1922), creating a bizarre labyrinth filled with stairs leading to ceilings, doors opening into drops, and occult architectural motifs.
