  1. I worked at CSM in the early 90s. At a John Sarich dinner, I had to use the service stairs from the second floor down to the kitchen. I was with a fellow staff member, coming down into the kitchen when I felt a hand on my back and a cold chill through my right elbow. When I got to the kitchen, and told my coworker what I felt she told me Elizabeth eas just saying hi.

  2. When I was 8 years old, in the 90s, I went my my aunties wedding there. We were told the tale of Elizabeth. So I wondered off by myself and found the service stairs, which were very skinny, my toes hung off. The air seemed to stick in my lungs though, as if it were muggy or something. I remember I was hot from running around with all of my cousins but on those steps I could almost see my breath. I remember getting sad and angry as I walked back down them by myself, imagining Elizabeth falling. My night was ruined, I was all moody for the rest of the night. All night us kids stayed there, while the grownups partied in the main building. We had a magic show and everything. Up until bout midnight when we left, I could feel these curtains of presence or heaviness idk.

  3. One of the biggest reliefs was meeting my tight deadline. writepaper https://www.reviews.io/company-reviews/store/writepaper.com delivered the essay well in time, allowing me to review it thoroughly before submission. Additionally, their customer support was always ready to assist and provided timely updates on the progress of my essay.
    Overall, my experience with them was quite positive. It was a great support in a time of need, ensuring that I could maintain my academic performance without additional stress.

  4. Summary of My Encounters with Elizabeth at the Manor House

    In 2008, during my visit to the historic Manor House in Woodinville, I felt an unmistakable presence—Elizabeth, the spirit tied to the house’s haunted lore. The atmosphere shifted as I entered the grand staircase area: sudden chills, faint footsteps behind me, and a fleeting shadow near the landing. It was subtle yet deeply unsettling, as if someone was watching from just beyond sight. I took a photo with two other people in a three-way mirror in one of the rooms and found a girl with flowing hair and red eyes behind us, however i no longer have the photo, it was 18 years ago and lost. My mom said as I was descending the back stairwell, the servants area, she saw Elizabeth behind me and i felt my body lift up off the ground, i could see mt feet hanging of the edge, i tripped and missed the first step but then hurried down the stairs into the kitchen when the staff said “did you meet Elizabeth?”

    Summary of My November 2025 Visit to the Manor House
    During my recent visit to the historic Manor House in Woodinville, I experienced one of the most compelling paranormal encounters yet. Almost immediately upon entering, the atmosphere shifted—an intense stillness followed by a sudden chill near the grand staircase. I captured video and photos that appear to show Elizabeth’s presence, though I cannot share them publicly due to the winery’s privacy policy.
    The most striking evidence came from an EVP recording. In the quiet of the parlor, a clear voice whispered: “Have a look at that.” The tone was calm yet commanding, as if drawing attention to something unseen. This moment confirmed what I felt throughout the visit—Elizabeth’s spirit remains active, and her presence is undeniable.
