It’s NOT haunted!!!! Gee, it’s just a museum. I’ve been there many times. I live in San Jose. I took the tour. It’s BORING!
I always pass by it and once I was going to apply there when the house had a job hire sign. But, then, I thought, wow, people will just drive me crazy with those, is it really haunted stories. It’s NOT!!!!!

Hey one time I had a b-day part there and I had exactly 13 guests (including me). We all had a good laugh about that! Turns out it was her favorite number or somethin’

I have heard about this place in a couple of places It was said that the women built doors that opened into walls. Hallways that led no where and other stuff like that. Thank u for posting this.

Hello everyone! I used to work at the Winchester mansion as a tour guide! Is it haunted? YES!!! I only worked there for 3 months, I quit because believe it or not I felt like I was being followed home! Weird things started happening at my house! I would be asleep in bed and my pillow would hit me in the face, I could feel the strength of a hand pressing it into my face as if I was going to be smothered! Things I encountered at the Winchester mansion: The first encounter I had was during my interview! I was in the room above the gift shop which used to be part of the house, now converted into an employee room! I was sitting facing my interviewer behind her was a window. This window opened outward from inside the room! It just busted open as if a gush of wind from inside the room forced it too! There was no wind! My second encounter happened on the third floor in one of the earthquake damaged rooms. I was facing a wall practicing my script when I saw a shadow on the wall of a man. It was as if he was pacing behind me! From what I remember the shadow looked as if he was wearing a long coat and a top hat! I froze for a second and then dropped my script and started running, I could hear footsteps behind me as if I were being chased! I got lost in the house until I eventually found my way out! When I returned to the employee room everyone asked what was wrong, I was practically in tears and shaking! One night while working late cleaning the house I was in the Venetian dining room (on the first floor). When I heard a record player located on the third floor playing, I knew it didn’t work; no one else was in the house! I knew which record player it was because I used to spin the record on the needle to play the old record; it was an old happy birthday song (very creepy)! Mrs. Winchesters bedroom was the eeriest place in the house. Sometimes it smelt like roses, and other time it smelt of death! I always felt unwelcome in her bedroom! I could go on and on about the experiences I had at the mansion, but I don’t want to bore you! Just to sum it all up, the Winchester mansion is haunted!

Actually, part of this story is incorrect. She was seen again after the earthquake, that’s why the building continued, the people working on the house had to pry the door of the room she was in open with a crow bar (you can still see the marks in the door frame). She died on her bed. When you go into the house, it really isn’t that scary, if anything you just feel sad for her, she goes crazy because she loses the only people that mean anything to her. But the house is fascinating, & really go to walk around in.

hey im alyssa and i am hearing strange things about this house like it is haunted and it has 160 rooms. well i wouldnt ever want to see that house it should be private and knocked down and who ever goes there will have to pay a fine of 20,000 dallors

I have read so many stories about this house. I really wish I lived near it because I would love to go on a tour of it. It sounds really spooky though, but that’s where you get the chance to understand what’s really out there.

I LIVE A COUPLE OF BLOCKS AWAY FROM THE MYSTERY HOUSE, I’ve never taken a tour (since i live so close, i can do it whenever i want) and I pass the mystery house every day on my way to and from home. Once, I was having dinner with friends at Chevy’s Mexican Restaurant across the street from the mansion. We ended up staying at the restaurant pretty late.

I remember looking out the window, across the street at the mansion, and the lights were on in one of the second floor front windows in front of those bushes and statues out front along the main street. I thought it was weird for a light to be on, it was about 11pm-midnight, and the lights are never on that late. A few moments later, I saw a woman in a dress standing at the window, looking out (it was almost silhouette-looking)..you know those dresses that have hoops along the bottom to keep the skirt full? she was wearing that, and her hair was up in what looked like a bun. Shortly after, the light turned off as she walked away from the window. A couple of my friends saw her too. I still pass the mystery house at night on my way home, and lights are never on in the house, so I think that woman in the window must have been Sarah Winchester.

Reply to Kristy: Are you serious? That’s creepy. I really want to go tour there!!

The Winchester Houe is haunted because the owner gave the spirits a “legal ground” (invite) The women was into spiritism. I think she practiced it because the spirirt that were already there convienced her to do it because they knew that more doors would be opened.
The legal ground must be removed in the Name of Jesus Christ. Spirits do follow if you enter “their” proptery. If you have visited a haunted house or hotel you say I cover myself with the blood of Jesus Christ any spirit that transfered to me followed me or was sent to me I bind you and command you to leave and return to where you came from in the Name of Jesus Christ.There are more details on http://www.HauntedHouseBuster.com

Minister Garilano makes a great point. And when Sarah allowed her guilt and emotional instability to cause her to purchase the existing structure (and then build, build, build) she gave an open invite beyond simply saying spirits could stay there. It’s a relatively common problem and can certainly be corrected. Your intent is as powerful as your words–sometimes moreso. If you’re Christian, the good Minister’s suggestions hold more weight and power than if you aren’t (because belief is key in all this). If you are from a different religious calling, there are still ways you can oust a spirit, although, depending on the variety of entity and your personal stability, it might be best to get some assistance from someone with experience in the field. Be wary of quacks, of course. For minor issues, many people have had success with firmly ordering the entity out of their home/space. Some need support in different forms (sage or holy water, depending)as well.

Thanks for the thoughts, Minister!

I wish i could go to this place and check it out. I wanna go see if it really is haunted!!! So what IS the TRUTH STORY about this mansion????

I’ve been here a couple of times and I’ve never seen anything. I’ve taken a lot of pictures inside and nothing unusual has ever come up. They have flash light tours on Halloween and Friday the 13th. I’d like to go back then, maybe I’ll see something. But so far however all I have to say is it’s a good place to see amazing Victorian architecture.

Is this the same house from the movie Rose Red?

Hey Jennifer, no it’s not. (: That house in in Washington State, they filmed ‘There Will Be Blood’ there also…

hello i just want to know how much is it? to get in ther and is it worth it?

“Rose Red” was fimed in Washington, at the Thornewood Castle Inn and Gardens. However, to correct Jessica, the house in “There Will Be Blood” was filmed at Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills.

Hi i wish to know more im into this stuff and heard it on another website sonds pretty cool i want to see it im 12 going on 13 and must see. p.s is it true it was used on 13 ghost?

Well my mom used to live right around the corner from this mansion and she took like a bazillion tours. Out of all of the day and night tours that she took she did not experience one thing. I myself have not been there but I shall in the summer. I think my mom did not experience anything because she did not believe anything would happen to her. For me I think that the experiences have to do with either your mind, angles, or (my least favorite) demons. Most of the time it has to do with your mind. Please comment if this helped or not.

Hey I’ve been to the Winchester house many times I love it there It’s creepy and amazing all at the same time!
