hi my name is amy, and did you ever see the gost?????

I have had some weird experiences over the years and one of them was at the Winchester house. I was there taking a tour with my cousin a number of years ago when I happened upon a ghost. It was in the upstairs portion of the house. If you have ever been on the tour you will most likely remember the spot. It was just next to the elevator shaft that has a window in it. The tour guide stopped us just next to the elevator where you look into a small room and on the far end there is a landing of a stair case. The tour guide was telling us about the window on the elevator and then pointed over to the doorway that led to the staircase and told us to remember that spot as she would be discussing it again when we got downstairs. All the time she was talking, there was a young girl standing in the doorway that led to the stairs. She had dark curly hair up on a bun at the top of her head. She wore a dark green period dress with a white apron and a white cap that covered her bun. When I saw her I immediately figured she was part of the staff, as she looked like she was wearing a maids uniform the type that was most likely popular around the time that Mrs. Winchester was alive. The young girl was leaning up against the doorway and watching us as our tour guide talked. I didn’t mention anything about her as I figured everyone in the group could also see her there. It wasn’t until later when we were down at the bottom of that same staircase that I learned different. The guide explained that the house staff used to use the stairs there to get around the house easier until a earthquake made the stairs too dangerous to be on, and that no one was allowed to use them anymore. I then commented on the girl I has seen. I wondered why she had been there if it was no longer used. My cousin glanced over at me and asked, “What girl?” I told her what I had seen and she informed me that there had been no girl upstairs. Neither her no those standing around us had seen the young lady although to me she was in plain sight and looked just as real as anyone else.

If anyone have the Winchesters story from tv I would be so grateful if you would send me a copy.

Boring! who wants to hear this?

I went to the winchester house and it wasnt like what i saw on the travel channel. It was a nice house. and I FOUND THat everything she did was because she had so much money that she could afford to build **** any time an then forget about it. I did think that it was cold. I went in the winter time

I am a Winchester , Sarah would be a great, great aunt, I know a little more about the House than most people do, and have toured the house twice, still very interesting and yet have not seen the whole house yet.

i live in stanislous county and was born in san jose and have relatives in san jose. so when we go to parties we are always trying to scare each other. but the scary thin g id=s to me is that the torists people won’t tell you why it’s really haunted.

so weird danny. i’m a winchester also.

Ok i have a story of when i visited there:
A couple of years ago when i was like 10 or somwthing, my grandparents, and like all of my family was visiting this place, and we were all joking around like ‘ the sprits are gonna get u ‘ and all **** like that. but it wasnt funny anymore when crazy things really started. when we were standing by the gun show store type thing, i looked up and saw a figure that looked like lady winchester, and this may sound crazy, but a second later she dissapered and shoowed up at another window. so i thought, ‘ kara its just nothing ‘ but really i KNEW i saw it. later, when we were walking up the short steps, i felt a COLD feeling in go in me and never come out of me, the whole tour, along with many other encounters. the coldfeeling left me when i was at least a mile away. i NEVER came back to that house after that, tho it was interesting

I visited the Winchester House , I started taking random pictures especially when i felt cold and hot spots..In the pictures I have a ton of anomalies in the room where there’s doors and windows are stored. Then in the velvet room , Theres a little girl’s apparition ..The most freaky one would be in one of the bedrooms there is a demon like skull on top of the bed. I definetly believe many souls are trapped inside the Winchester house. I believe that it became a portal due to the saeances that were performed there and still continue.

It is amazing to me that after nearly two and a half years of comments on this site, that who ever posted this site, has not corrected the information about the Winchester Mystery House! I did read that someone was descent enough to fill readers in but still the entire history is not correct. Sarah Winchester was a very smart woman who lived in a time when any “bad” experience has an explaintation. That is why she purchased an unfinished 8 room farm house and why she continued it’s building until the day she died. Her six week old baby died, her husband died sixteen years later. The only thing she wanted was answers. Her superstition got the better of her and her 20 million dollars she inherited after her husbands death. Not to mention the $1000.00 a day she got in royalties. She was rich, she was crazy, she believed in the paranormal, and she just kept building a house to confuse the spirits that she believed were after her. That is the bulk of the story! PLEASE CORRECT YOUR INFORMATION!

Ok so i used to work at the winchester mystery house. I have walked through it by myself at night and nothing has happened. The deal with her being “pinned” in a room is just that she was trapped because the house shifted and she was seen again. Her servants pulled her out a few hours later she died in the house some time later. And no not in the bed in the room today it is all donated furniture. So the deal with there being an imprint of her laying on the bed is not true I’ve been right up next to the bed; there is no imprint. As for cold spots duh! it’s an old old house and it’s going to be drafty. And the myth about rocking chairs rocking… well when i worked there the tour guides liked to fool with the guests because we were always working in the house even if we aren’t giving a tour (we cleaned) so we would rock the chairs or walk up the stairs or close doors. Everyone had a good scense of humor, so it wouldn’t surprise me if a tour guide cleaning a room set the chair rocking and a tour came in while it was still going. I don’t believe that it is haunted. It is a creepy old house with some great workmanship and i would recommend everyone see it once.

Hi,my name is gabby and i am now in 7th grade and as a 7th grader i have to write a 4 page research paper that takes about 2-3 months to finish so our teacher ask us to pick a subject that really pulls us in well me and my friends like to haunt ghost and find EVPs in our spare time so when i heard about the Winchester house i had to do my paper on it i am 3 months in and i am still having a grate time finding info.thank this website really helped me get good info

weel i still don’t get why she bult all of the rooms and why would she just keep making room to know were and how did she get around with out getting lost and what if she forgot that that room lead to the out side and she was on the scond floor and she fell what would the sperits do then would they get someone to do the rest for her or woule they just leave the big house with ghost .
and can you go in the house and do weard thing happen or dothey just say that just to make you freeked out and where is this house and can you srtay there and do you have to pay and how much is it to stay there

Why is such filthy, nasty language allowed on this website? Those un-educated Mexicans with that cactus still stuck on their ugly foreheads can’t even spell in their own language and wanted the Gringo’s to translate so they could understand. NOW that’a joke!!! They should have been reported for using such language. Thought this website was for leaving comments on your actual haunted experiences and not to leave HATE messages like that colored female did by calling certain people crackers. Take control of this site or close it down. If properly ran it would be a great place for all us paranormal-ghost lovers. Someone PLEASE take control and throw out the trash.

Yeah Rose red was based off this house.

that place scared my mule

Ok look if you guys don’t want to sit here and read this then don’t. You don’t have to leave all these stupid comments saying that people that believe this are stupid well you are the dumby that sits here and reads it and then reads all the comments well if you don’t like it then don’t read it. I think this mantion is awesome I haven’t had a chance to see it but some day I will. I am only 16 but even I know if you take the time to read it and you don’t like it don’t down people that do.

I went there a few years ago. It was an amazing experience to say the least. The house is breathtaking. Unfortunately, I only got to see the house. One day, I’ll go back and check out the grounds (which people say is just as awesome). But one thing’s for sure:

It’s not scary. The rooms are all painted in bright, enchanting colors, like any other house. Aside from the first front rooms, there’s none of that dark wood Victorian finish. The only room in which you would expect to see a ghost is the ballroom.

Most of the mystery that surrounds the house is the fact that there was no architectural planning. They just started building and never stopped until Lady Winchester died.

There are doors that open to nothing but the wall, but other than that, most seem to come from no planning. There’s a staircase that leads right up to the ceiling and stops, but it was there in the original ranch house and wasn’t taken out when they built over the floor above.

The infamous “Door to Nowhere” (a 2nd floor door that opens onto thin air) is on the front of the house that was walled off after the earthquake, leaving many rooms forever unfinished. Looks to me like it originally was planned for a balcony that was never completed.

She didn’t build the rooms to confuse them.She built them because the spirits asked her to and she thought by doing that she would find her family.
