Four years ago, I had a party that was too much fun for me. There was a guy who said he would give me everything I need. As I recall, when I was a five-year-old in China, I had been offered up to a Satanic cult and forced to participate in unspeakable rites. During a three-month ceremony called the Feast of the Beast, I was made to recite rhymes while closed in a coffin in the Under Ground City within a grave, and the floor was covered with slithering snakes. There were robed men and women tearing apart “kittens” with their teeth, and eaten. Sometimes I let temptation get the best of me. The conversation was going on until I turned my hair. He started touching me and kissing me like he didn’t care. I thought at first, I should go home, but then I fell asleep in the chair. All I got to say is… While I was sleeping, I had a dream that I was locked up in a cage with a lion. Years later, police dug up the empty lot next to our house and found some animal bones and shark teeth, which were asserted to prove nothing. Although sheriffs conducted an extensive dig in the area, no bodies were ever found. A prolonged investigation by the FBI concluded the stories provided no evidence, no charges filed. However, later the sheriff announced an investigation that as many as one hundred adults participated in cannibalism, blood drinking and murder of as many as thirty children during Satanic rites at a local church. #RandolphHarris 1 of 6

Despite the facts that the, the church was quickly cleared, no bodies could be found, but Sheriff insisted that he believes the stories of ritual abuse. He says he knows the children were baptized “in the Devil’s name.” One male youth was reportedly sexually assaulted by a doctor who used a crucifix in the ritual. However, after a year ling, multi-million-dollar investigation, the task force was disbanded without having found ant hard physical evidence. On the bases of information obtained from several human sacrifices by a Satanic cult in a nearby rural site, officers of the law spent ten hours digging up a field, searching for the remains of one-hundred-and-thirteen victims allegedly sacrificed over the past sixteen years. Some animal bones were found, along with food, headless dolls bound at the feet and pentagrams on their stomachs, a pile of forty-five male tennis shoes were found, an axe, an ancient dagger, and cleaned and pressed children’s clothes from the 1800s in a sealed cement coffin, and a thirteen-foot scorched wooden cross, along with an anatomy dissection book found in a Victorian house near the main mansion. No charges filed. The idea of an underground conspiracy of blood-drinking, cannibalistic Christians, Satanists, kidnaping and killing children as part of unspeakable religious rites, adds an even more horrifying dimension to an already horrifying subject. As bizarre as some of the tales sounded, police investigators did not take them lightly. #RandolphHarris 2 of 6

 I was awakened in the middle of the night by the howling—the same lone wolf voice I had heard the night before. It was about one a.m. I did not know how long it had been going on, only that it had finally penetrated my thin chaotic dreams and nudged me towards consciousness. I sat up in the darkened bedroom and listened. It went on for a long time, but gradually became fainter as if the wolf was moving slowly and steadily away from the mansion. It had a tragic, plaintive quality as before. It was positively baleful. And then I could not hear it anymore. An hour later when I could not get back to sleep, I took a walk through the corridors of the third floor. I felt uneasy. I knew what I was doing. All at once I stood still. I held my breath and glanced around. What did I see? You may believe me or not; you may call it a fairy tale or what you will; you may term it a freak of my imagination, but all the same I give it for what it is worth. I saw emerging from a secret passageway in the floor forty-nine men attired in ghostly habiliments. I was badly taken aback; I had been well aware of the accident that happened when the mansion was built killing 49 men. I had realized what I had seen could not logically be happening—not in my time anyway. Those who had been killed in the incident had been so taken by surprise that they were apparently still not aware that they were dead—and their ghostly apparitions were continuing to work on the mansion as though nothing had happened. #RandolphHarris 3 of 6

 A team of horses could not budge me while the ghosts were visible. Almost overnight, an entire new industry was born. Special police anti-occult task forces were forced to cope with the new menace. Child psychologist, social workers, probation officers, and born-again Christians were asked to speak to concerned staff members, and seminars were conducted for law enforcement personnel by the self-proclaimed “experts on Satanic crime.” The incidences of people being locked in rooms, doors slamming by themselves, curtains moving, and strange footsteps have been reported. Guests often report a shadowy figure who parts the curtains to look out of otherwise unoccupied rooms. A variety of wild stories were told to explain Mrs. Winchester’s death. Some claim that Mrs. Winchester went out on a cold Winter night during a rain storm. She lost her way and froze to death. Others say that she was massacred by Indians of fell down the mansion’s stairs and bled to death. The truth is that Mrs. Winchester, who outlived her husband and children, was residing in Santa Clara Valley when she died of natural causes at 98. Many who have seen Mrs. Winchester several times, believes that her spirit is still in the house because of her happy life when she was living there. She is in her early twenties, attractive and vibrant. Some frequently smell a fragrance—wild azaleas—that we associate with Mrs. Winchester. Sometimes we sense a man’s presence—probably Mr. Winchester—and we smell 4711. #RandolphHarris 4 of 6

Other times we feel teenage energy that we associate with Mrs. Winchester’s greedy nephew. He is always here, a part of the mansion and of our lives. The Winchester family will always own the mansion. We are just caretakers. Still, the fact that such a large underground existed undetected until the early seventies, along with growing case files of Satanic events reports, was enough to set investigators seriously searching for a similar network of Christians and Satanists. To combat blood rituals and human sacrifices, specially formed task forces logged thousands of police human-hours investigating reports. However, not one piece of concrete evidence was ever turned up to corroborate a Satanic conspiracy. As one case after another fell apart, explanations by the conspiracy buffs became more and more fantastic to accommodate the lack of evidence. The use of portable crematoriums and “alter babies”—that is, babies without birth certificates born secretly to cult members at home for the specific purpose of sacrifice—were offered as reasons why no infant bodies had been found. An investigation by the FBI Behavioral Research Unit, however, came to different conclusions. It found a “cross-contamination of ideas” taking place between parent and law enforcement groups, and between the children and the social workers interrogating them. They found evidence that a cult had been using human fetuses to make ceremonial candles. Leading Satanic crime experts say that in the 1800s, a living alter had been used at the Winchester Mansion for the living spirits that were being worshipped. Black masses took place in the Winchester Mansion. #RandolphHarris 5 of 6

 During hours of torture, Mrs. Winchester never told her clients names, nor told prosecutors the names of the people who attended the Black Masses. It was believed that 1,000 to 2,500 people have made their transition to the spirit World in the mansion. The typical Satanic ritual used ceramic cats, stained glass, and houses with geometric shape (including stars, circles, and rectangles). There were also photographs discovered in the mansion of White, middle-class America—doctors, nurses, housewives, businessmen, and happy-looking young children—all surreptitiously giving each other the sign of the horns, clearly indicating exactly what America’s best-kept secret is. Also discovered were WICCA Letter written at the Witches International Coven Council which took place in Mexico in 1898. The documents purport to be a political blueprint for an international takeover by Satanists and the Winchester Mansion becoming the new White House. The names of the cult members were allegedly sealed in thirteen envelopes, which were kept in Mrs. Winchester’s safe. Strange tales frequently occur around the notorious Winchester Mansion. It is an eerie place with vestiges of rat pack glamour. Small wonder staff members complain of angry voices and frightful apparitions. In 2007, the mansion was closed for the evening. Everything had been cleaned and locked. The next morning when it was opened, there seemed a flurry of movement, there was a shape reaching out, but it thinned, vanished—as if made of pixels of color and light. Food remained on the table in the Venetian Dining Room and one of the six kitchens was in disarray. The staff stood there, shaken badly, their hearts in their throats, starring at their own reflections in the window. The dead just don’t stay dead. #RandolphHarris 6 of 6
