1.Winchester Mystery House

The Winchester House is one of America’s most haunted houses. After Sarah Winchester’s family tragically died, she was told it happened due to a curse placed on the Winchester family because of the Winchester Rifle that took thousands of lives.

The house was constantly under construction. Areas of the house would be built and then rebuilt to appease the spirits that dwelled in the house, according to Sarah.
