Calvin, it was likely the E-bow. It's an electronic gadget that when laid on one or 2 strings it keeps vibrating those strings continuously. What you get
is a violin or 'strings section' effect. It was popular back in the 70's and 80's.

Buddy used one on `Mansion` at the St Louis convention in '77. I assume that's where Sara got her inspiration.

David Hartley also uses an Ebow in his Mansion On The Hill video. Must be something about that song ....
