How many rooms are in the winchester house...
The Winchester Mystery House is a mansion in San Jose, California, with a strange and sinister history: it’s said to be haunted by the spirits of people killed by Winchester rifles over the centuries.
When was the winchester house built
It was constructed by Sarah Winchester, the widow of the millionaire firearms director William Wirt Winchester.
The house took some 38 years to build, supposedly inspired by the advice of a psychic, and construction went ahead without an architect or plans.

Shrouded in mystery and reportedly the site of eerie goings-on and ghostly visitations, the structure is said to be one of the most haunted sites in the world.
