Winchester House in San Jose. The widow of the maker of Winchester rifles spent her life attempting to appease the spirits of the victims of her husband's guns. Which she did by continually expanding her home to accommodate all of them. It's a totally crazy architectural experiment. I wish I could have seen it before the 1906 SF earthquake knocked like three or four stories off it!

DA

Wow...that's really cool. I mean, architecture-wise, not that the poor lady went through that psychosis (not sure if that's the proper term?) to appease ghosts.

(Then again, I'm slightly disappointed that they destroyed H. H. Holmes' "Murder Castle" because it sounds like an architectural Ripley's Believe It Or Not and it would be interesting to look at - I swear, I'm just an armchair architecture enthusiast, not a crazy.)

I'm a bit disappointed that it was destroyed too. I've got a morbid curiousity for this sort of thing. Would have loved to explore it.

SA - provided I had a map and decent cell phone reception in every room of the house, of course

Ditto. And a few friends, maybe a priest, just to be on the safe side.
