Recent Incidents
I seen a little girl creep around the corner. Almost as if she were hiding. Her hair was curly and she had a little pink dress on. She was maybe about 3.5 feet tall. Her face was very pale. She said,"Catch me if you can!" Her hair was strawberry-blonde. And then she disappeared right after that. I was with my daughter and husband. Only me and him saw it.

When we started out tour, in a hallway with the stairs that go nowhere but the ceiling, we all got a chance to peek around the corner and see how the stairs went nowhere. After my husband took a peek, he said how it was funny that they put a hologram of an old lady to make it seem scary. I started laughing because I though he was kidding, but he wasn't. He saw an old lady with white hair sitting down on the stairs.

As I was entering the house, We stayed in the first room. Our host was talking. Then saw that the door opened and no one opened it! That was creepy!

I was in the seance room with my 4 year old daughter Kate and i was looking down into the kitchen through the window. I turned around and my daughter was gone. I was starting to freak out when I saw Kate in the hallway looking straight ahead very contently, but nothing was there. for the next few days, she couldn't stop talking about a woman named Sarah and how she talked to her in the crazy house. The creepy thing is, we never told her anything about the Winchester house, or even that Mrs Winchester's name is Sarah.

I went on the afternoon tour. When I went I was wearing my necklace of a cross/crucifix that I usually wore everyday, which I've had for 3 yrs. When I left the tour I've noticed that the cross/crucifix was gone.

In the unfinished dressing room, adjacent to the seance room, both of us heard the creaking floorboards, but my boyfriend saw the ghost of carpenter who appeared to be patiently waiting for the tourists to leave, so he could continue his work.

I have never really believed in ghosts, although I still love freaking myself out with ghost stories now as much as I did when I was younger. On the tour that my husband and I took, I had continuous chills throughout the mansion. I told my husband this and he shrugged it off, but I am still creeped out by it! I also remember feeling a bit nauseous, even though I wasn't sick at all.

So, I was with my friends and we were all excited that we were at the house at night. It was about 11:58, we were in the front kitchen, and we were all waiting for something creepy to happen. It turned 12. We were all kinda disappointed, but then I heard my best friend, Joanna, scream, "Wait, ow!". I turned around, and there was a tiny cut above her eyebrow. A little blood was dripping from it, and we all knew that Joanna didn't do it. I will never forget that.

I was taking the tour with a boyfriend sometime around 1994 .While we were in the seance room, the tour guide opened the door to what I think is known as Sarah's secret passage and asked if any of us dared to enter first. I volonteered and went in. I was alone in the room for about 3-5 seconds and, from the moment I stepped in, I felt dizzy and was overcome with a feeling of absolute horror. The air felt dense and extremely negative. I was actually about to start screaming when another person stepped in the room and that seemed to break the spell somewhat. There is definitely something more to that room than what is currently known.

As the tour was leaving the bedroom, I glanced at the window and saw a man standing there. He was dressed in overalls, dark-ish shirt, a floppy hat, and had curly dark hair and a big floppy mustache. I turned to my friend to get her to look and he was gone.

I have forgotten the exact time and date. The room was freezing cold when I stepped in and I had to put on my jacket even though it was a hot day. as we were leaving the tour guide mentioned that this was one of the rooms that lacked air-conditioning. Spooky

While I was trying to read the words written in the tiffany glass, my eyes seemed like they were "vibrating" in my head, and the room started going hazy. It only lasted a few seconds, but it totally wasn't like anything I had ever experienced.

I visited the W.H. last summer and captured a mysterious picture. I don't know the name of the room it was taken in, but there was a mirror in the room. the room was plain and seemed like a storage room. I took a picture of my boyfriend and I in the mirror and a 3rd person appeared next to my boyfriend. the figure is obviously a person, but there was no one standing next to my boyfriend during the photo. we even looked at everyone in the group to find that not one person looked like the figure in my pic. I still can't get over the picture. i went through every scenario of who or what the 3rd person could have been right after taking the picture, and there is no explanation. The photo was not manipulated in any way. Everyone that i show the picture to is blown away.

I was taking photos of the garden area while visiting...When I reviewed the pictures I had taken later, one stood out. The photo was of the corner of the garden where the fruit drying shed is. The picture has the evening sun streaming down through the trees. In the lower right of this sunlight some ones head seems to appear...

I was looking at the bed and it seemed to me that there was a figure laying in the bed. The covers of the bed where moved and were slept in. When our group leader began talking the figure moved sharply and everyone turned to look at the bed and then the figure disappeared. As the ghostly figure disappeared one word was said, "Die".

My husband and I were one of the last people in the room and I had just finished thinking "I wonder if there's any spirits with us in this room." At that moment I felt a strange pressure/sensation on my left shoulder. It felt like an electric shock. My shoulder and whole left arm continued to tingle throughout the rest of the tour. To make things stranger the hotel room we stayed in that night had tiny crosses painted in nail polish over every doorway and window. Creepy.
