Travel Channel's Creepiest Destinations:
When rifle heiress Sarah Winchester began building her Victorian-style mansion in 1884, she pledged that the construction would never end during her lifetime. The reason? She thought the continuous noise would appease the ghosts that plagued her after the deaths of her husband and daughter as well as help her attain eternal life. Only Winchester herself knows whether or not the plan worked; the Winchester House still stands, but as a museum to the oddities and mysteries that were part of this woman's life. Among the strangest, doors that open to blank walls, a chimney that rises four floors and a set of stairs that lead to the ceiling.
