Winchester haunted house

Winchester House, which is situated in California, the USA, is considered to be haunted. The reason for that is Sarah Winchester, a [ ] (YOUTH) widow, who claimed that there were ghosts. In her grief after the death of her husband, she consulted a spiritualist who convinced her that she was cursed by the spirits. To escape these spirits, she must build — and continually build — a new house for herself and the spirits. For nearly 40 years, until her death in 1922, she had been making continuous and [ ] (MYSTIC) improvements to what was [ ] (ORIGINAL) an eight-room California farmhouse. The design of the house contains many [ ] (USUAL) and even bizarre features. With over 10,000 windows, 2,000 doors, 17 chimneys, 13 bathrooms, and six kitchens, much remain unexplained. Doors open to walls. Multiple staircases lead to nowhere. Even a room without doors! To this day, the mansion is considered to be a site of paranormal activity and has attracted more than 12 million [ ] (VISIT) since it opened to the public in 1923.
