According to Stephen Harred, there is an overwhelming amount of stories have been told by servants, caretakers, and tourists concerning paranormal activity in the mansion. There have been stories about ghostly workers appearing in photographs, strange voices, lights flickering, and even appartitions. However, Troy Taylor, of prairieghosts.com, calls these spirits "mischievious" rather than aggressive. One tour guide even came in to work one morning to find his desk flooded with water, despite no rain or leaky pipes. Sometimes people have reported seeing non-existent workers. It is known that the builders of the house and their families lived on the grounds for many years at a time. Perhaps they never left? Sarah Winchester herself has even been spotted checking in on the house. Tour guides have claimed to observe an old woman in victorian style clothing wandering the house.
