In the late 19th century, Sara Winchester moved to an ordinary home in San Jose, California.
For some reason, the wealthy woman began adding an additional room to the house each year. By the time she died in 1922, the house already had 160 rooms, covering six acres.
Most of the rooms in Mrs. Winchester's house were never used. Some were a few inches wide. The stairs led nowhere, and the windows opened over the white walls. The eight-story house was built with three elevators, 48 chimneys, 2,000 doors, 10,000 windows, and miles of secret corridors and lobbies.
A special room was also erected that was entirely dedicated to the thirteenth. It had thirteen windows, thirteen doors, thirteen lights, etc.
Winchester Mansion is today a museum, open to anyone who wants to see the strangest house on Earth!
