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.

Hey…watch the movie Titanic…the rich woman that comes aboard is named Molly Brown!!!

angel says:

August 25, 2006, 1:00 pm

is she?

Leslie says:

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.

The company I worked for there took us to dinner and performance there one evening in the summer of 2007. I didn’t feel or detect any paranormal activity. It’s a nice cozy house.

My children and I visited the Molly Brown mansion on Pennsylvania Aveneue in Denver yesterday. I want to be very clear that we did not visit with an expectation of seeing ghosts. Before we entered the front door I called out to Molly Brown by saying, “hey Molly, we heard you had a bad trip on your way back from England. All is well and we came by to see you.” Upon entering the foyer, I became very dizzy. I had a strong sense that I should leave the house but had just paid for the tour so i had better complete the tour. The tour guide then proceeded to the living areas such as the parlor and then the dining room. She shut the door in the dining room that led to the kitchen. We then proceeded upstairs. I made a point to touch the items in the house after having been instructed not to touch anything in the house. I continued to feel dizzier and more faint throughout the tour. Finally, we were in the kitchen and the door that had been shut earlier by the tour guide began to open by itself. My 11 year old son asked why the door was openly by itelf. I turned around to see a heavy wood door opening. I became more and more dizzy. I thought I was going to faint. I asked to leave the out the back door and end my tour of the house. I ran out of the house and into the carriage house looking for a restroom. In the restroom, I spewed out black vomit. After that I felt fine and was told that maybe I had altitude sickness. I was also told by a staff member that people often become faint while touring the house. Very bizarre tour.

I went to the Molly Brown house and although didn’t experience anything out of the ordinary, I thought it was a nice tour.

I don’t know if there are or aren’t ghosts, but never experienced any thus far.

I visited the house a few years back. I consider myself sensitive, when i entered the house I felt a presence. I asked the man giving us the tour if anything wierd happened there, he said ” what do you mean?” I said “like ghosts.” He said ” Yes we have strange things happen here,” I said, “like what” he said, “the light bulbs unscrew themselves.” I felt like something was there but I never saw anything. I know from my experience that Mr. brown is there, I felt him there.

first of all Lori that is very disrespectful, Ms. Brown probably got pissed cuz you were touching her things! wouldnt you!? and second all ghosts are is residual energy with some leftover personality, to say they don’t exist is not only closed minded but kinda dumb. energy can be created but it can’t be uncreated, if you think about it that’s all a human is is energy so it makes sense that when we die our energies just kinda hang around

My youngest son and I wanted to take a tour of the house on one Sat. afternoon, both of us was okay before we entered the house and neither of us had been there before nor knew the history of it at all. When we went to enter the house I started feeling very ill, and almost ready to pass out, I grabbed my son’s arm and said I need to have a seat. we stepped out of the house and he went to get me a bottle of water. when he came back I had told him that some one has died here I can tell. Well, we went back in to finish the tour, and by the time we got to the second floor they mentioned that her parents had both died in the house, so I made a promise to myself I would never re-enter the house ever again. I do attend to go back one more time now but this time I am going to take a voice a recorder to see if I can pick up anything unusual in there but only with my husband around in case i get that sick feeling once again .
