The Winchester House started construction in 1884 by Sarah Pardee Winchester, heiress of the Winchester Repeating Arms Fortune. After tragedy struck several times, she was left all alone. Sarah decided to visit a spiritual healer, who told her that the victims killed by the Winchester rifles her family manufactured were seeking revenge by taking the lives of her family. The spiritualist also conveyed to Mrs. Winchester that the spirits had placed a curse on her, and that if she wished to live, she must appease them by moving out west and constantly, without ceasing, build a house for them night and day.
