Winchester Mystery House

Last weekend Mike, Max, Lev, Molli and I went for a road trip to SF South Bay. The aim of our trip was to go to as many "mysterious" places as possible. Our first stop was Winchester Mystery House, the Victorian mansion, designed and built by the Winchester Rifle heiress. The building is truly bizarre with doors leading to nowhere, stairs leading to the ceiling, windows in the floor and many other architectural oddities. We all agreed that it would be a great place for a Halloween party and that it would be not funny to get lost there...
