iv’e always wanted to go the molly brown house, but never found the time. im only 15 and ever since i moved into my last house, iv’e developed an obsession for ghosts… we had to move from my old house because it ws haunted by something evil. i was pushed down the stairs, off my bed, and had scratchs on my body made by unseen hands. we even caught some stuff on video!!!!!

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 .

In 1959 my mother bought an old mahogany rocking chair from an auction at the “Brown House” in Denver, Colorado At the time I did not know that it was an auction of furniture from Molly Browns house. I still have the rocking chair. It is very old and once had leather seat and back, but has been reupholstered. Sometimes it rocks by itself. I don’t know if it is the ghost of my mother or if it is Molly’s ghost. The chair is very ornate and has “handles” at the top so that someone can stand behind it and rock the chair (as if it were made for someone frail who needed a nurse to make it rock). That’s all I know.

In the summer of 2006 my family visited the Molly Brown house. It was beautiful. I consider myself sensitive to the paranormal, and while touring the house I sensed something, I then asked the tour guide if anything strange has happened while he worked there, he said yes he has felt something brush past him on the stairs and that the light bulbs which hang from a high ceiling unscrew themselves. I found it interesting.

I visited the Molly Brown house with my family last spring totally not expecting to experience anything but a bit of history. I was on the tour standing in the dining room with my back close to the door that leads to the kitchen when I felt a tug on my purse. I immediately turned around expecting to find one of my children tugging on me…no one was there. All of my children were well in front of me, and there was no room for anyone to have gotten behind me to do that. When I told my husband and children what happened, they just laughed and still give me a hard time about it to this day. I was starting to doubt that I really felt what I did. However, after reading Lori’s comment, I am a bit scared and exhilirated. That is the area that I was standing — the door from the dining room to the kitchen. I’m really weirded out now!!! I know what I felt and it was more than real. Lori’s experience actually happened around the same time that I had my experience in that area of the house…

it’s funny that some people can believe in the holy ghost, but otherwise think ghosts are nonexistent

I swear that when they had the tours open, my friends and i all heared a small voice coming from down a long hallway.

I’ve been to the House quite a few times and honestly it’s not that bad, I do agree with the smells though, has anyone else smell perfume? ASking that is hard if you’ve been there on a tour since it could be another member of the tour but it smelt liked an older perfume. Not something from Victoria Secrets. Does anyone have any idea what I am talking about?
Also Lori,
She prolly felt like she was being mocked. And touching her stuff prolly angered her more. Once you started feeling dizzy you should have stopped going out of your way to make it worse. Molly wasn’t a mean person. She made an exseption for you it seems.
