Last week my previous home buyers who purchased the Snowball Mansion in Knights Landing invited me to come over and see what all they have accomplished in their new home as well as sitting in on the investigation report of the paranormal findings. In simple terms, to find out if the Snowball Mansion is haunted!
Flying Monkey, a paranormal investigation group video taped and made recordings of their findings at the Historical Haunted Snowball Mansion which has long been speculated as being haunted by Lucy Snowball who lost a male child at infancy and her 19 year old son a mere month later.
Upon arriving at the Snowball Mansion, I found everyone gathered at the dining room table engaged in conversation. 
Don Duncan, lead investigator from Flying MonkeyParanormal Investigation and a camera man, Keith filming the meeting along with the new owners, Nancy and Richard. I was given a glass of Chardonnay and sat down at the table to hear the results of whether or not Snowball Mansion was haunted.
EMF (electronic magnetic field) meter findings were found in the attic along with an audio recording of a woman’s voice (no one could make out what the voice said, however). Windows in the attic along with the audio sound of banging open and shut were also clearly detected.
I personally heard the banging of the attic windows along with the audible woman’s voice through ear phones.
The new owners have experienced drawers in the attic opening as well as the door bell being rung with no one apparently there. Wayne, the caretaker of the Yacht Club by the River for years has seen an elderly woman in the attic window when the home was not occupied. There have also been reports of furniture moving noises at night when no one was awake or moving furniture.
The conclusion form the Paranormal investigation was that although they cannot prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Snowball Mansion is haunted, they do say that there are definite EMF findings and unexplained phenomena at the Snowball Mansion. It was noted that there were more findings at the Snowball Mansion than what was found at Sutter Creek which has long been established as being haunted. The Flying Monkey Paranormal Group plans on coming back to capture some more at the Snowball Mansion.
The camera man, Keith shared that while filming in the attic, every time the EMF reading went up, his camera shut off. This happened several times during the attic filming between midnight and 3:00 am. There was also findings in one of the gazebo’s on the property.
You probably are asking yourself, if the owners of the Snowball Mansion are afraid or freaked out by all this and the answer is no. They love their new home even if they need to share it with ghosts.
Nancy and Richard proudly display a framed photo of Lucy Snowball on their mantel and plan to gather more photos of the Snowball clan to hang alongside their own family photos.
The new owners are embracing their ghostly roommate(s) and continuing to restore and make Snowball Mansion their new home.
I had a delightful evening with Nancy and Richard and plan on returning soon.

Just a little note to you and all of your readers. My late grandmother and step-grandfater, Scotty and Lena Wilson bought Snowball Mansion from the Snowballs way back in the 1940′s or so. My late father Walter Greb who grew up there during his high school years, who also married my mother in 1969. Thats when as a child I use to go and visit the Wilsons alot and would stay with my grandmother for weeks at a time. Thats when as a child I personally learned of a very unique ghost that not haunted just visited the mansion. She learned of me upon one of her visits. Lucy Snowball is a very unique kind of a ghost. She doesnt haunt the mansion like a regular ghost would. She came for a visit to the mansion when I was visiting as a child. That one visit not only change my life,but it changed the way she would come down and visit the mansion. Just a week or so ago I learned of possibily why my twin died intro fetro and was still born, but I still remained. I believe it could very well be what had happened to Lucy during her pregancny and that is why she has taken me under her wing (no pun) so to speak. I was then born as a single birth. In a way this is what happened to Lucy and her pregnancy to there unborn child. She lost the boy of the twins and then in childbirth with the one child that would have lived, thety both died. That is why Lucy haunted the mansion for years until she met me. Thats why she watches over me like she does. I have seen her ghostly figure numerous time as a child. I didnt really know why until I seen that movies the otherday and now I know she was put into my life. I think that I was the spirit of her unborn child. I have always knew that there was a special and very unique bond between me and the ghost of Lucy Snowball.
Deborah,
Do you happen to have any photos of the mansion back in the day?
want it left as is, its the truth about the ghost of Lucy Snowball that has haunted others away, but not me. She watches over me.
