ERIC:
Sarah Winchester's

psychological assessment

and mental status examination.

Dr. Eric A. Price,

April 16, 1906.

Appearance, normal.

Hygiene, physical

characteristics, all normal.

Patient struggles with the

loss of her husband and child.

Her behavior is at times

slightly aggressive.

Perception,

visual hallucinations

that patient often refers to

as shadows or ghosts.

I feel them, their presence.

Go on.

I feel their presence,

their energy.

Their unfinished business

has brought them here.

Do you perhaps

in any way blame them

for the death

of your husband and child?

I will mourn William

and dear Annie always.

I love all my family

very much, Dr. Price.

They are the true

riches of my life,

and I will do whatever

it takes to protect them.

(BELL TOLLING)

Can you tell me why the...

Why those bells

chime at midnight?

It's midnight, sir.

Well, yes.

But is there

any significance to it?

It's midnight, sir.

Thank you.

(DOOR CLOSES)

(HAMMERING)

(WIND BLOWS)

(SHIVERING)

(WINDOW SHUTS)

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

I swear, the laudanum

is still in my system.

Let's just hope

it's withdrawals.

It always was withdrawals.

It had to be. Had to be.

SARAH:
I have a question

for you, Dr. Price.

Again, Mrs. Winchester,

it's best if I ask...

What is it like to die?

Talking about your...

Deceased for three minutes,

were you not?

You know, I keep records

of all the lives

a Winchester has taken.

Hundreds have been reported.

Probably thousands haven't.

The guilty, the innocent...

The rifle doesn't discriminate.

And many of the souls

make their way to this house.

That's impressive.

As you can clearly see,

I am still here.

So perhaps you could do me

the kindness of taking me

off that shelf.

You were shot.

I was.

This.

And it did kill me.

You kept it and refurbished it.

- I did.

- Why?

Well, because

it's a reminder of my past.

Because it's my

connection to death

and to all that I've lost.

Instruments of death

have a powerful connection

to the afterlife.

We hold on to mementos

to help us heal.

But sometimes,

they do more harm than good.

Precisely.

So tell me, what do you think

it is you're holding on to?

Have you ever been

to a spiritualist?

But I understand you have.

You know, it is believed

that once we've departed

this world,

we can see others

who have left

their physical selves behind.

Is that right?

Have you ever

experienced such a thing?

I can't say that I have, no.

Is it painful to die?

Mrs. Winchester,

we really must continue

with this evaluation.

Please, Doctor. Please.

Yes.

And then nothing.

Just a calmness.

And when I came back,

it was painful again.
