I remember back in second grade our class took a tour of everything. I’ve heard all the stories having lived in Galion for 21 years. But, none before my tour and I still remember some freaky things going on. I believe it’s haunted. My suggestion, go there before you hear stories. That way you arent expecting things and misinterpret things as hauntings!

I live in Galion and have for almost my whole life. I have a family member who used to be and will be one of the head people in charge of affairs that go on here at Brownella. I have been in there countless times and have seen every inch and heard every spooky story there is to know. I can say truthfully that NO ONE has been murdered inside of this house. Bishop Brown died in his room (his bed now resides in another room) and Ella Brown WAS NOT MURDERED (this was his wife.) Have any questions?

I recently heard that Galion used to have underground tunnels and one of them runs to Brownella Cottage. Does anyone know if this is true? If so could it be someone using the tunnels to enter the cottage and “spook” people??

I also grew up in Galion and the Brownella Cottage has long been considered a great place to experience a ghostly presence. The house itself seems out-of-place with its surroundings, as if frozen in an older time. That alone gives the property a creepy, ghostly feel, as the house truly is a remnant of something long gone. Add to that- Lights going on and off in the night, rolling movement throughout the darkened house, voices in the yard and even a shadowy figure in the glass walkway- Many stories about the place have haunted almost every child in Galion for the last 40 years or so I imagine, due to the fact that the town’s Middle School was directly across the street from the Cottage property. (The school was sadly torn down this summer) Every kid in town had to walk right past the spooky old place just to get into the front doors of the school. Many of us will never forget the mysterious things we have heard about or heard and seen for ourselves at the Brownella Cottage. Perhaps now that the school has been reconstructed across town, the Brownella Cottage stories may start to fade away… poor old house has no more kiddies to frighten…

My grandfather was a caretaker of this place for many years in the 60’s and early 70’s before his death, and my brothers and sisters have been all over this inside of this house and the grounds. Never saw a thing. It IS an amazing house, though.

Back in 1962 at about 11:00 at night, i was with my girlfriend and we climbed over the iron fence around the cottage to look inside the window. My girlfriend looked and saw no lights illuminating from inside and ran toward me saying she just saw a person walking around. So we ran….

I can testify to this place..my gandma lives a few seconds from the place..our whole family is really big on the superantural..we checked it out one night and saw a light come on and a silohette of someone in the window..so i dunno if it was the “ghost” or a caretaker or what but it went on for a few seconds then kicked off.

i live about two blocks from the cottage. it is really spooky. i’ve never been to any of the tours though. i should go soon. maybe this sun. and…i’m gonna bring along a voice recorder…see if i can’t get some EVP’s. as a matter of fact i live in an apt. above the stores downtown and supposedly our apt. used to be a showing room for funerals and the vacant room below us used to be a morgue. i’ve never had anything strange happen here though. it’s actually one of the only places i’ve lived that feel completely normal. weird.
