A window built into the floor. Staircases leading to nowhere. Doors that open into blank walls. San Jose's Winchester Mansion is an architectural marvel like no other, full of unexplained mysteries and bizarre history. The 160-room mansion was renovated between 1884 and 1922 by Sarah Winchester, the widow of gun magnate William W. Winchester, who believed that the house was haunted by the ghosts of everyone who had been killed by the infamous Winchester Rifle. This magnificent, maze-like home is creepy enough on a normal day -- so just imagine touring it during the Halloween season, at night, with only the flickering light of a candle to guide your way! This candlelight tour of the 132-year-old mansion -- which TIME magazine has called one of "the most haunted places in the world" -- is a spooky and atmospheric journey through a house seemingly frozen in time.
