The Brown Mansion
After exposing himself to children and having sex with animals, Tim Brown was given the choice of joining the army or serving seven years in prison. Rather than being punished, Brown used a copperhead snake to kill himself in one of the mansion’s upstairs rooms. Brown’s nude silhouette can sometimes be seen in the upper left window. Furniture is often reported to be heard during the night, and sobbing is often reported on Saturdays–the day of his death.

That thing thing about him sticking his wang those animals is pretty gross ,but that story doesn’t seem scary to me. So i would like to know the locatoin(street name and adress) if any would. Maybe jackie since you claim you live by there. Iwant to go to see if i really do hear things. I would smoke you up a spliff when i go there if you chief. Or not if you don’t either way i would appreciate the directions.

I’m from Pittsfield, and I am almost 100% certain that there is no home in Pittsfield known as the Brown Mansion. My town is small (pop. 4300), and any home that would be called a mansion, built at a time when military service was an alternative to prison, would be found in my neighborhood. I’m very familiar with the history of Pittsfield and of Pike County, IL, and I never once read or heard about some guy committing suicide that way for that particular crime. If the author of this site could provide some particular information, such as the time Jim Brown lived in the home or the address of the home, it would be very helpful. Also, a friend of mine from Pittsfield is a paranormal enthusiast who really knows his material and does his homework. If this haunting exists, he would know about it. He doesn’t know about it. With that said, until the author of this site can present me with a physical address or a picture of the home in Pittsfield, I can’t believe it.

I live in Pittsfield, Il as well and I haven’t heard of “Brown Mansion” either. I do investigate ghosts and hauntings. Im sure I would have come across this case if it were true. If it is true, them maybe you know someone who can call me and help validate his/her claims. But I really don’t want to come across his naked @$$.

I to also live near Pittsfield, and have my entire life and have never heard of this so called mansion. There are families in the area with the last name of Brown, but the Browns that I know have never heard of this home or this man. This story is a fictious lie. Period.
Kat says: |

The house they are talking about is the two story apartment house at 111 E. Fayette and the reason I know this is because there was another story on the internet about it and it gave the address now one of my dads friends lived there about 10 or so years ago and never said he seen or heard anything and he lived in one of the upstairs apartments. I have no clue if this story has any truth to it or not but I thought I would clear up where it is located.
Dan L. says: |

This is just sad. How can you live with yourself posting information that isn’t true? You offer no address, no picture, and a name that isn’t in court records (yes, it is that easy to run a name through the court system and pull this case up; it doesn’t exist.). Someone has spun a tale that is interesting to some, but is a total lie. This should be removed from your site, unless of course, you’re willing to provide some evidence. Which you won’t be able to do because it’s all a lie. If you’re wanting a “classy” site, then you should remove the lies.

Who ever made up this story should be shot! Anyone who can torture or hurt animals or kids in any kind of way i will kill you myself. To the one who mae up this story, you were probably talking about yourself and what you do. You sick *UCK!
ann says: |
June 15, 2008, 1:39 am |
I think what you said was true it is ficition yes that one girl said she knows the address but if it really was in Pittsfield like it said it was than why is it not on there a address doesnt count either because she could be making it up just to make people think she knows and another thing if it was there would have not been any altermation either he would be killed or his private areas cut off and fried in a pit of fire and than let him die along a nd painful death.

My uncle died this way those coopperheads are perfect for killing yourself. I did the same thing. I’m dead btw. Sometimes if I go in that house I see myself in the window of the upperleft. Then I’m naked and people are scared and think GHOST. But my little brother Raffieal used to live here and I killed him with a snake of copperhead. I love making love to aminals especially snakes copperhead. I did that and it killed me and I love snakeeees. They slither into my nostrils and come out of my butt. SNAKES UGH. UGH. UGH. Sorry I was making love to my catty. I’m DEAAAAD so is Raffieal I killed him with a snake of copperhead. And then I haunt youuuu. And grandpa genepool!! LOVE MY GGP he makes love to my snake of COPPERHEAD. LOVE ME LOVE ME.

i think only a *** would talk abou a naked guy ghost and some nerd or sicko loser would beat off to it like a porno… go find a girl and go get laid you faggits…
Only adult here says: |
October 23, 2008, 10:09 pm |
It’s obvious that everyone who has posted on here is a child, I would guess no older than 12! First of all, the naked guy in the window probably isn’t a ghost but some old lonley man who has become a bit unstable mentally. I actually have had an experience similiar to this. When I was 15 or so there were stories of this guy that everyone called “Mushroom”, he would chase after your car naked with a pitchfork. The only difference was he wasn’t a ghost. So a couple of friends and I drove out there and we went by his house the first time and all his lights were on, we go by a second time and there he is, standing in an upstairs bedroom with it all hanging out in the breeze. So a guy friend starts yelling his name, he dissapears from the window and comes out the front door, still naked with his pitch fork in hand. True story, but now I feel bad for taunting the old guy. As for the sex with animals bit, I take it that none of you guys live in the country? LOL!!!

And won’t till i see it for my self
Derrick says: |

Yeah I’m from Pittsfield, I do paranormal investigations, and I haven’t heard anything about this “Brown Mansion”. I mean, I’m sure there are a lot of haunted houses in the Pittsfield/Pike County area. But the small town conservative atmosphere tends to keep topics like this pretty hush hush. So it wouldn’t likely end up on a website. You’d have to hear it from a local, and as I already stated, I haven’t heard a damn thing.

I live in Pittsfield and have tried looking into this story but the only Brown mansion that I have found info about is in Kansas. I have never heard anything else out, and if it’s on Fayette there are a lot of old houses there. If anyone knows anymore about this story let me know. Peace.

Ok guys I live in a small town called Griggsville about 8 miles away from Pittsfield and I think the house may be accualy haunted considering the people that have lived in the house have blocked off the front and live the back. I have been in the house and the front is not even is liveable condidions any more but the whole thing about the furniture is BS people dont lie close enough to the house to even hear the furniture moving to report it. Here is a photo of the house
