Ghosts Run the Grounds at the Winchester Mystery House in California

Nestled in California, the Winchester Hotel might look like your average luxurious hotel, but its past paints a different story. Formerly owned by Sarah Winchester, it gained notoriety for being the most haunted place on earth. Following her death, the estate became a tourist attraction. While some are skeptical about its haunted status, the mansion is home to countless rumors, with visitors and staff sharing spooky encounters with a mustached man dubbed "Clyde," tinkering with the Ballroom's fireplace.

The most famous story, though, is the tale of Sarah being haunted by the spirits of those killed by the Winchester rifle. Well, that's no coincidence, considering she was the widow of the firearms director William Wirt Winchester.
