Built by Sarah Winchester, widow of the man who invented the Winchester rifle. She thought she was haunted by those killed by the Winchester Rifle in the Civil War. Therefore she built her house to confuse the spirits. There are hallways the lead nowhere. Stairs that lead into ceilings. Windows that open into solid walls. It's expensive, but it's pretty interesting.
