Winchester Mystery House has loomed large in the imaginations of San Jose locals ever since it was built in 1884. The house, a sprawling puzzle of carnival funhouse-esque quirks, perplexes mere mortals as much as malevolent spirits. Look out for staircases that lead to ceilings; windows set into floors; a door that opens onto a 12-foot drop. (Guides nickname this room "the mother-in-law suite.") Visitors will walk narrow, zig-zagging staircases, spot curiosities like upside-down pillars and cupboards a half-inch deep, and even see rooms damaged by the deadly 1906 San Francisco earthquake (which also removed the house's fifth, sixth, and seventh floors).

Eerie motifs abound: the number 13 appears everywhere (ceilings with 13 panels; 13 coat hooks in the "seance room". There are also many decorative spider-web patterns - people believed the latter would bring good luck at the time.
Just as extraordinary is its sheer size: what started as a two-story farmhouse was transformed by Sarah into a seven-story, castle-like residence, with 160 rooms, 47 fireplaces, and 10,000 panes of glass. Sarah could build such a lavish abode because she was heiress to the Winchester rifle fortune. After her husband, William Wirt Winchester, passed, she received an inheritance of $1,000 a day. (The average daily wage back then was $1.50.) Legend has it, however, that the widow believed herself haunted by the spirits of those killed by Winchester rifles.
