The Winchester Mansion, located in San Jose, California, is known for its continous 38-year long construction. It belongs to the widow Sarah L. Winchester, whose husband was gun magnate William W. Winchester. Sarah Winchester made her workers carry out construction on the mansion 24 hours for every day, until 38 years later when she passed away.
The Winchester Mansion is believed to be haunted and the story goes like that:
Sarah Winchester, saddened and depressed over her deaths of her daughter and husband, consulted a psychic. She was told to build a house large enough to house the souls of the lives that the Winchester rifles took.
She was also told that if she stopped constructing the house, she would die. Therefore, the building never stopped. Rumour has it she gave her workers a day off after too much complaining from the workers, and that was the day her life ended.
The house still exists today, having survived a quake.
