Step Inside a Real Haunted House

Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California, is one of the most haunted places in America. The Victorian mansion, built by Winchester Repeating Arms heiress Sarah Winchester, has more than a hundred rooms with mysterious architectural features like staircases that lead to the ceiling and doors that lead to nowhere. But that's not all … In the Winchester Mystery House, you're never truly alone.

I remember seeing this house on a show called, I believe "That's Incredible" back in the 80's. I always thought it was unusual to have doors that lead to nowhere and staircases that led up to a ceiling. My only thought at the time was "why build a house that is full of traps?" Interesting to say the least. But it is very beautiful from the outside.

I've been to the Winchester House, and while it is strange and crazily built, I didn't feel or experience anything. My late grandparents' house, however, in the western U.S. (I won't mention the city) had a long history of footsteps going through the house; knocking sounds on walls, doors and floors; the sound of pots and pans being thrown about, but actually unmoved; and one instance of a ghoulish face being seen at the front door by my late uncle. A man had been shot to death there in the early 20th century before my grandparents bought the house in the 1930s. My mom and her family experienced all of the described incidents, and then years later, I experienced many of the same sounds, even though our generation had never been told about it.

I went to this house when I visited California and the moment I went in I saw a door at the end of a hallway open on its own and on the other side was just a dark room. I was already ready to leave.

Damn I was hoping to see Sam and dean in there

I don't think the Winchester House was ever claimed to be haunted in that anyone saw anything strange. At least, no claim that I can remember. Mrs. Winchester was just afraid of ghosts and so built the house to confuse them, should any happen to come by. But no actual hauntings. I could be wrong, though.

My boyfriend and I took a tour of this house. It was incredibly interesting. I was so hoping to hear, see or sense something paranormal, but unfortunately, I did not.
