Get Outta Town: Experience the Winchester Mystery House

SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- With Halloween fast approaching, what better way to get into the spooky spirit than with a tour of San Jose's Winchester Mystery House! Legend claims that Sarah Winchester was cursed by the souls of those slain by guns manufactured through her husband's firearms company. After moving west, Sarah purchased an eight-bedroom farmhouse and began constructing a mansion large enough to house the spirits whom she believed were haunting her. For thirty-eight years, Sarah built what is known today as the iconic Winchester Mystery House complete with 160 rooms, 13 bathrooms, a grand ballroom, and so much more!
