When I was 13 years old I lived in the Molly Brown House. It was,at that time , a home for teenage girls who had no where else to go. At night, while I laid in my bed.I would hear noise comming from the top floor. No one was allowed up there. But I used to hear squeeking noises. like a rocking chair. One afternoon the houseparents let us go up there and take a look. I saw an old rocking chair up there. It did not scare me. But, I would think about it while I was laying in bed at night trying to sleep. I have alot of memories from that time. Some good some not so great. I was there at the end. I know why they closed it down. I know why they decied not to continue to run it as a home for wayward girls anymore. I know the whole story. It is pretty interesting in itself.

Wow that would scare the **** out of me. My house is moderatly haunted because sometimes we smell cigarette smoke strongly, even though no one in my family smokes. Also when I go in my parents room, I can feel a man watching me in the corner and a baby a sit for cries if she gets near that corner. It’s creepy.

I believe that there are ghosts. I live in Texas and at my house the cupboards open by themselves. I can go in and close them and a little while later another one is open. Or the kitchen curtain will be closed when I had just opened it. We sometimes hear people talking. My daughter said she use to see a little boy that talked to her when she was little. We would ask her questions about him and she would tell us the name of his parent and where they worked.

Yup. The reason the woman in Titanic and the woman for whom this house is named are both called Molly Brown is because they are the same person. She was actually called Maggie Brown. I have been in this house countless times, and never experienced anything. It’s a wonderful old house, well restored, and decorated, but I doubt it’s haunted. The Browns didn’t live in it that long, none of them died in it, and Mr. Brown left Maggie, so why would he stick around and smoke cigars in a spot he ran from???? I think people feel and think what they expect to feel and think, and this does LOOK like a house that would be haunted. The only thing I feel in the house is a sense of history.

People always fear what they don’t understand. It doesn’t matter how long they lived there or if they died there ghost return to famliar places that make them feel comfrontable. Spirits truley do live on just because young souls don’t see or understand them doesn’t mean they don’t exist. Haven’t you ever felt a cold draft upon your shoulder and you turn and look to see if any one is there. Yet it’s hot in the room and no one else is there. Or you feel a tap on the shoulder or blowing of air in your ear yet still no one there. Those are incounter of your friendly ghostly spirits.

I visited the Molly Brown house twice. The second time I was 12 and went with my aunt and sister. Both my sister and I ended up passing out during the visit. I have only passed out one other time in my life and my sister never has before or since. All the sudden we both just felt so hot. This also happened at seperate time. She passed out about 10 minutes after me. Once we left the house we were fine. Needless to say we were both very embarrased. I don’t know if it means anything paranormal but it was a very weird physical feeling.
