*smile* I’ve see this show your talking about Patty… It was called Haunted Mansion…or something along those lines. I enjoyed watching it! The thing is… I’ve been living over seas for quite sometime now and I can’t ever seem to find anything real—ghost like or haunted, thou I am said to be living on the most haunted island on earth, Okinawa, Jp. LORD, WHAT I’D GIVE TO SEE SOMETHING!!!

-cherish-

I went out there last year. When my husband was the last one to walk thruough a door it always slammed after him, but no doors slammed when someone else was the last to walk through it. Also my sister’s and my camera battries drained before we were in the house for 15 minutes.

Hi I have seen the house and Sarah was pinned in a room but she survived…and she died in her bed. She didnt disappear and the building did stop after she passed away.

Hi!
Im Exene,I was just wondering wa do u mean she was “pinned to” the room?

The house sounds pretty cool, I heard that the house has staircases leading up to nothing. i would love to go see the house I am into that kind of stuff though.

Ok she was not “pinned” into the room after the quake. You see she never slept in the same room twice (so as to confuse the spirits) After the earthquake she was trapped for I believe 8 hours in a room and the Servants had to pry the door open with some crow bars (wich she never bothered to repair and the marks can still be seen there to this day.) Another interesting thing about this house besides windows looking down into the Kitchen from the floor is the use of the number 13 it is preminent in the entire design of the house from stained glass windows to the grates on the drains in the kitchen sink.

yea my friend told me about his house and i guess its real i also heard about the stairs that lead up to nothing. it would be intresting to see the house.

Oh please – learn how to check facts!! Sarah’s husband and child died 18 years apart (or some huge length of time like that) and she never lived in the house when they were alive (she moved out West and bought it on the advise of a medium who claimed to contact the supposed souls haunting Sarah). Try reading the history of the mansion again on it’s website and you’ll get a much clearer idea of the REAL history of this place, which is cool and creepy enough without people getting the story HORRIBLY WRONG. Also, the mansion used to have 3 additional floors, but they collapsed when the big quake happened and Sarah didn’t rebuild them – in fact, she actually walled off some of the rooms completely!!
It is a totally insane building, but very very kewl. Everyone who can should totally check it out!!!! : )

I need to know what “pinned” means because i am intrested in going

I read about the house and i saw a documentary about it on TV …..it said something like the house has a certain munber of stair ways windows….the numbers are supposed to be the same like 13 or something…i would like to go see the house some time

I think that all you guys are *****

I have friends that are ghost hunters and got a great EVP from this house. They posted it on their website. You can hear it too at: http://www.ghost-trackers.org/evp.htm

It was taken while they did a radio show. It’s great.

I’ve been to the mansion and experienced something I can’t explain. While waiting for my scheduled tour, I walked out of the souvenir shop, and into the small garden area where the beginning of tour starts in a designated area just in front of a large wooden door. I walked farther east, curious to see what might be down that way, and I saw a small area where there was a gentleman dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. He looked like some sort of maintenance worker. He was walking toward a building, that looked to be the garage of some sort, and he opened a door to that building, looking over in my direction. We locked eyes, and he continued to stare at me. I got an anxious feeling, like I wasn’t supposed to be looking at him and seeing what he was doing- so i quickly looked away. I walked back to the souvenier shop and got my friend, and told him i wanted to see what that building was, where I just saw a guy walk into. (you see, everything in this garden area is locked up and not accessable- and you can only get inside the home by way of the tour guide) I led my friend east from the souvenir building, and could not find what I had just seen maybe 5 minutes ago. There was no building that looked like a garage, nor were there any doors! It simply looked as if we were at the sides of buildings. You know, how the sides of (square) homes have nothing on the sides, except maybe a meter, or gas tank. No matter how many times I walked around this little garden, I never saw the “garage” again.
I took the tour, and it was an awesome house…I just wish they would show more of the house. It’s soo big, yet you get through it in such a short time. I don’t think we saw the entire house. I didn’t experience anything else after that.

I’ve heard about this one on TV! Doors leading outside on the upper floors and everything. And yeah, there was supposed to be something about 13. 13 bathrooms, 13 sinks, even 13 hooks in the (13) closets..I really want to go there if I ever get the chance. Only problem is, I’m in NC. But oh, well.

Actually, when I first started reading this, it reminded me of Stephen King’s Rose Red. Heh.

wow i think that is really neat. My mom and i beleive there is a ghost in our house cause sometimes certin lights in our house turn on and off and doors close, (when all the doors are shut) and we hear ppl walking around when there is no one home.

I read about the Winchester mansion in a book that I have. Ever since reading it, I have wanted to visit. I read that some of the chimneys are blocked off at the top and then others connect with other chimneys. They are suppose to be an easy way out for the spirits. There is also a room that people know exist but have never found. This is supposedly where Sarah communicated with the ‘good spirits.’ The hallway leading to this room is very strange, with many twists and turns and since Sarah was a rather short lady, some of the doorways were only five foot high. That was so that the bad spirits would run into the door frame and not be able to follow her. I would absolutely love to visit this place.

Sounds pretty cool, if you ask me. I might try visiting some time.

The Spirits had told sarah that they wouldnt kill her if they built them a house… They would tell her the design of the house and she would drawl it for the carpenters to work on… She had past away from working so hard and the working had stopped you can still see the half hammered nails in the walls to this day… Its also siad that trap doors were built to confuse intruder’s Some doors you could open and they would have no entrence and some other’s you can open and fall to your death…
