Widowed Sarah Winchester only had spirits and workers to accompany her. The spirits in the already haunted home forced her to keep building onto the house unless they'd kill her. Sarah had builders work and work, building doors in the middle of the floor dropping 10 feet down, or staircases leading to the ceiling. Today they still say the workers never stopped building... even after death.
