Recent Incidents
I was pretty sure this was not a human. I eventually saw a shadow which shape-shifted. I looked back and I saw the "figure". And when I blinked it have vanished. My second encounter was my arm felt a squeeze. I looked back and no one was there. Of course it wasn't my sister. When I went in in the first part of the tour. I felt like I couldn't breathe. And my back was aching. Yikes! It's a really nice place to visit but very bizarre.. :)

Im not sure that it was this room or not but that is what the tour guide told me. When we went in a different room, there was a small window where you could see the room we just were in. I looked inside to see a black silouette (however you spell it)
shadow that looked to be a man in a suite over the one abandoned piano. By the time I blinked, it was gone. Only my brother believes me but my parents dont. They think it was just a shadow of someone in another tour walking by from another tour. But it couldnt be a tour because you couldnt hear any footsteps ( which you can usually hear in the house ).

Me and my best friend were walking through sara's bedroom and we'd eaten a lot of sugar so we were kinda feeling sick.My friend really had to puke so i just said "i hope you feel better" and then in the backround of my voice i heard someone copy what i had just said but everyone had already left the room.

I was on the tour and the guide stopped and had us look at an aerial photo of the sprawling house and asked if we would like to guess which room we were in. I seemed to know exactly where we were, as if someone was telling me. I went over to the photo and pointed out a room. I was one room off. The tour guide said, "Oh, you've been on the tour before!" I hadn't! I felt like an older female presence told me which room we were in and she was rather exasperated with the whole thing. I also got the very strong impression that she really did not like the tour guide at all.

As soon as I walked in I felt an icy cold breeze, and this also happened in the basement, seance room, and many others. On "her" bed there was an interesting glow that I asked my grandparents if they saw, but they didn't see it. Then I was dizzy and a small dog like shaped glow ran around the room. As soon as they appeared, they were gone.

Unusual feeling throughout tour. Was not aware of "hauntings/sightings" and was 16 years of age at time of tour. Diminished hearing, short of breath, dizzy, underwater feeling, queasy, heart palpitations. Thought I might faint. Felt better after leaving the room, but in the hallway I got a headache. No history of illness prior. I have suffered from panic attacks since that time, up to this day. Have never returned.

I can definitely say I felt a lot of energy on the tour... It was like Sarah was walking with me pointing out the details, beckoning me down blocked off halls, asking me to finish her work. I wish I could spend the night there alone and explore and get to know her and her otherworldly guests!

we were driving home, and we were talking about Sara Winchester and said that she was a crazy, then it started poring really hard and we could hardly see out the window. was it a coincidence. you decide.

I had serious pain begin in my back when leaning and placing my hand against the wall in the seance room. It felt as though someone squeezed or put pressure into my back. It felt like a presence was there and caused me pain for several days during and after the incident.

The summer after fourth grade (1968)we visited the Winchester House. I felt like I was being followed by a lady the through the house. When I walked across the threshold from the house to the gift shop, I knew she wasn't allowed to cross that line. Being so young, I had no idea that the house was reported to be haunted. But it was a very strong feeling.

I was feeling cold and chilly the whole time when I was in the house.

My boyfriend and I took the flashlight tour and we were stopped in the kitchen, standing by the French doors, waiting for everybody else to catch up. I glanced down and realized I had almost stepped on a little white dog! I jumped, grabbed my boyfriend and we both looked down. Nothing was there. I didn’t think much of it since I don’t believe in ghosts and decided it must have been something outside. A week later my mom was looking through a Winchester book I had purchased and I noticed the same dog. It was Sarah Winchester’s dog!

When I was looking out the balcony, I heard a slight quite hazy voice call me name. But when I asked, no one did.

I was looking at all the comments on my iPod and It was fully charged but after about 10 minutes on the page my iPod just turned off as if it ran out of battery.
