Though I haven’t been back home(Denver)for many years Mr. Brown and Molly do reside in the house still. Try sitting at the head of the table in the dinning room. You will smell the smoke of a cigar and feel as though your sitting on someone. Try standing at the end of the first flight of stairs, you will as if someone has walked right by you.

I was going to tour the house with my friend Karen. When I got to the front porch, I could feel someone looking at me thru the parlor window. I really got freaked out, but went on the tour anyway. I will continue to visit this place cause it is beautiful and I know that the spirits will not hurt me.

HOLY ****! Ok I just visited this house and while I was in there I felt so so so faint. I felt like I wanted to pass out, I could barely even stand. I didn’t think too much of it, although I HATED the tour because of how faint I was. My grandparents and cousin seemed just fine, and I didn’t want to complain or anything so I just sucked it up. Towards the end of the tour I couldn’t take it, I had to kneel though. Now reading all these comments about it being haunted and other people often feeling faint when going there really freaks me out. Geez I guess that was the spirits telling me they were there and I could feel them!

Lynn, I am hoping you read this, since your post is a few years old. Is there anyway I may be able to contact you about your time living in the Brown home? I have been doing alot of study on Titanic, and Molly Brown. I am going to be doing a little historian and paranormal report project and really would love to talk to you. I appreciate any info you can spare. Let me remind you, there is no funds or money involved. I am an everyday person, working a full time job, I just want to find all I can about your expierence for historic and paranormal (if any) for my own personal reasons. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!

I decided to go here and when me and my dad were in the living room by the door that was suposidly for the “servants” Me and My dad heard and I saw the door move the handle jiggled. It was soo creepy I know its haunted no joke. And if you look at the floor plans there are doors that have been totally moved and some gone and down stairs or like main level there is a room that seems way to small and on the other side another room and in the back there is a mini door i swear go to and see.

Okay first off, Lori, I cannot believe you touched that stuff!!!! Everything in that house is well over 90 years old, fragile, and did you know that over $5,000,000 was put into restoring that house for you and your kids to enjoy as well as millions of others? You touching that stuff after being told not to is so disrespectful and you got what you deserved, and I need to say, RIGHT ON MRS. B!!!!!!! So my name is Daniel, I am currently a page at the Molly Brown House Museum. I will be 15 on April 15 (isn’t that ironic with the Titanic and all?) A page at this museum means I follow the group around, I add facts in around the mansion as we walk through it, I recite the rules (LORI) and I do Most of the explaining on the second floor about Moly and her family, and I do all of the Titanic section. I am an expert on both topics and where they cross because I’ve studied them both sense I was 3 and I saw the movie The Unsinkable Molly Brown. Before I became a page two years ago, I went to the museum tours on a regular bases, at least once a month every year. After my dad died when I was about 6 or 7, the only place I was happy was at the museum, I was in kinda a kid depression. So on this one day, we were still in the foyer, I asked the guide who the two heads on the plaque in the fireplace were, he said they were supposed to depict Romeo and Juliet. I said I thought they looked like Molly and her husband JJ when they were still happy. At that moment I felt a warm hand on my back, I thought it was my mom, but when I looked back there was nobody there and the tour had move into the parlor and my mom was up by the piano next to the guide. I remember feeling the hand being small and gentle, which makes me think it was Molly because she was a large women for living in her time but she was especially proud of her small and dainty hands. Then for the rest of the tour my left hand was really warm and was sweaty, sweaty like someone holding your hand sweaty, not like athletic sweat. My next experience was a few tours later but in the same year. It was early July. The tour was in the sunroom and the guide had just sent the tour to explore the second floor rooms. The last thing she told us was that the sunroom was Molly’s favorite room in the house. I was thinking to myself how that was so obvious because Molly was a free spirit, she was so open and almost “airy” just like the sunroom especially when the two windows are open and the balcony door is open and fresh air is literally pouring into the house. If anyone wants to hear a story from one of Molly’s journal entries about sending away the Colorado governor when he came to call on her so she could lay on a sofa in the sunroom with the windows and door opened. But when I thought that, the balcony door opened by itself, ait came flying in and I felt the warmth on my hand again, I recognized its feeling from before. My arm started to lift and point to the door, I couldnt stop it, my feet then started to move towards the door and I couldnt stop that either. I was pulled to the railing across the balcony and for a moment, I saw all the hideous skyscrapers and buildings from modern day disapear, I saw only victorian mansions, grass, trees, the capitol building, and the mountains, it looked like a spring morning. I figured it was Denver back at the end of the 19th century or at the start of the 20th century the way Margret saw it. Then the guide came out and pulled me back in and the tour was all staring at me waiting for an explanation. I didnt have one though, I didnt want people thinking I was crazy so I just stared at the floor. The group started to disperse around the floor again and my mother and guide stayed with me and asked me what happened, the guide nodded and told me about a time when she was giving a tour and she was standing in the foyer talking with her back to the doorway to the parlor and the pocket doors rolled closed and locked but nobody was there. This next time was two years ago when I was paging and giving my first tour of th day and I was doing my Titanic section part. I was standing in the door to JJ’s room and was telling them JJ’s quote about Molly being too mean to sink right after the Titanic desaster and he heard her quote about being unsinkable. I then felt an awful freezing wind on my back. then I felt the warmth on my hnd pull my out of the room. I finished the tour and when me and my guid were walking through the diningroom to the front porch to start the next tour, I was walking with my head turned around answering a question about what my favorite part of the house was. When I finished telling her I turned back around and was just about to walk out the door to the foyer when the pocket door slammed closed, I walked right into it and my head hit the wood. When that happened I felt the cold and smelled tobacco smoke. When I turned around the guide screamed, she asked me if I saw the smoke moving to the kitchen. I didn’t, but I did see the door to the Butler’s Pantry open and close. I then felt the warmth on my hand for the rest of the tour. The next time I actually saw two ghosts. I was walking out of the carriage house ready to start the next tour (this was a few weeks later). I looked up at the back of the house and in the Tobin Room window on the second floor I saw an old frail woman with grey hair tied in a ball at the back of her head and Margret. I recognized Molly immediately and thought the other lady must be her mother. They smiled at me and waved, I didnt know what to do so I waved back. When me and the guide were in the foyer, we, both of us, hear women’s heels coming down the stairs. I felt the warmth all around again and I noticed a different kind of warmth, like a frailer kind almost I guess. This next tour and all the rest of that day, I felt Molly’s warmth in my hand. Now, every time I give the tours, my hand always is warm. People ask me why I hold my hand the way I do, I tell them I am holding it like that because our hostess is joining us on our tour today. These stories are true. True all the way. If anyone wants to ask me any questions about the museum, Mrs. Brown, or the Titanic, please leave a post here, I’ll check back here regularly and if any new posts come up mentioning this or addressing me, I will give you my email. Thanks for reading! And please, dont disobey the rules at the museum. It 1. ruins the artifacts and the museum itself in the long run, 2. It goes against the museum policy, 3. its incredibly disrespectful, I cannot even begin to tell you how angry I get when I see it happen, and I normally follow anyone who violates that rule closely throughout the tour, and 3. you will anger Mrs. Brown and she will teach you not to do things like it again, if you want an example, read Lori’s post on Page 2 of this forum. Thanks again!!!!!
